1. The Birthday Gift
This woman decided to get her partner a birthday gift anyway, even though he said he didn't want one. She wrapped up a onesie and her positive pregnancy test. He looked so surprised and couldn't contain his joy and excitement. What a sweet moment!
2. A Sisterly Surprise
YouTuber Lyss, who runs a vlogging channel with her husband Chris, decided to tell her sister she was pregnant by leaving her positive pregnancy test on the counter of her bathroom, leaving her sister to stumble upon it when she went into the bathroom. When she did, she started crying tears of joy, while her pregnant sister was cool as a cucumber. "Are you not freaking out?" she says, which is such a priceless moment, but also shows the love between these two.
3. The Blind Taste Test
Another mommy-to-be created a unique set up for her husband to find out they were going to have a baby, by blindfolding him and feeding him baby food. It is hilarious to see him agonize over the meaning of this taste test, as he originally thinks she's giving it to him to remind him of his childhood. When he finally learns that she's pregnant, he starts to jump for joy.
These cute pregnancy announcements are giving me baby fever! To see these and even more priceless pregnancy announcements for yourself, make sure to watch the whole video.
