Including him in the big moment is as simple as perhaps taking the test and laying it down for the results to form then have him go in at the appointed time and look at the results. He can share in the sorrow of another negative test or he can celebrate the moment of finding out with a positive test.
Telling him afterwards. If you tested while he was gone, then you can plan a wonderful surprise in letting him know that he's about to become a daddy. I am the type who can't wait, so I immediately picked up the phone and told him that way, while he was at work. Although the first time he was in school at college and I couldn't phone him. I had to wait until he came home. When he pulled up in the driveway I ran out to the truck, threw open the passenger door and exclaimed "Hello Daddy!" He was very happy!
Another way is to purchase a baby gift - such as a pacifier, or maybe even a bib or T-shirt that says "I love Daddy". Fix a romantic dinner and hand him the gift - wrapped in baby shower paper. Have a camera handy to record the moment on film!
Call the radio station he listens to and ask if they will announce to him the wonderful news. This is a great public relations feature for a lot of radio stations to be so personal and to share in such great news. If you don't want to tell everyone else just yet, have the announcer just say his first name and then ask your husband if he's heard any good news!
