1. Scavenger Hunt
Here’s a simple way to tell your husband you’re pregnant – set up a scavenger hunt. You can grab these free printable cards and set it up when your husband isn’t home. Then, when we arrives, tell him you have a surprise for him, and he has to enjoy the hunt for the surprise.
However, this is for your first baby since the last hint says “we’re a family of three,” and it’s not editable!
