Telling your husband/partner and Christmas baby

Does anyone have cute ideas how to tell your husband/partner you are pregnant with No. 2? Also I’ve just found out as per google calculations based on date of last period, I would be due Christmas Day. Whilst I know it is very early and anything can happen, I am a little disappointed in the timing. I’ve always said I’d hate for a baby to have their birthday around Christmas but after infertility challenges, I now know you never know if/when it will happen. Has anyone else been in this boat and felt this?

Congrats lovely 💛 Considering your due date, perhaps you could decorate a Christmas bauble with “baby 2 coming Christmas time” or wrap up your positive test in Christmas wrapping paper? You could use your eldest child to announce - like having big sis/bro hand your partner the positive test? The possibilities are endless! We were due with our 2nd child NYD in 2023, which really bothered my husband and I - we felt our holidays and summer would be all consumed by the end of a pregnancy and newborn life. Our daughter was born early due to medical complications and passed away. In hindsight, we felt really foolish for having these concerns. So when I found out I’d be due just before Easter this year with our 3rd bub, after a very long TTC journey, we shrugged it off. Of course our Easter celebrations were extremely different this year, and we have a baby born in the middle of a movable holiday, but we’re so relieved to finally welcome our next family member. Best of luck mama

Oh my gosh I’m so so sorry to hear. That really does put it into perspective doesn’t it. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage and then took 18 months to conceive our beautiful boy who is perfect. So I know TTC is hard enough. Thank you for putting it into perspective again.

I totally get it. I was due 17th December with my number 2, and was very disappointed in the date. She came spontaneously a little earlier on 8th December which i felt isn't AS bad..but it's still December. We are going to try and keep her birthday and Christmas two separate things, so she feels special. I didn't do any special announcements to my partner BTW. Just came out of toilet after doing the test going..oh my g.. 🤣
