Plan a romantic candle light dinner for two. You might feel morning sickness for sometime and many not be able to enjoy food, so make sure to make the best out of the evening out. Ask the restaurant to serve baby corn, baby carrots and anything else related with the word “baby”. Hand him a present, with a bib or cute little outfit that says something including the words “I love my daddy” or “my father is the best”. You can find such cute outfits and more at Cafepress.

If baby’s father is out traveling or away on business, send him a package. Place some baby items and maybe a baby naming book. Add a note, saying “I am on my way, dad”.

Make it fun and leave clues

You can have some fun and let the dad figure it out on his own. Leave various clues around the house, baby items like a bib, bottle, booties, rattle, pacifier etc. Leave these items where he is bound to find them. If he still doesn’t get the clue after about a week or 10 days, prepare a big gift. Take a large teddy bear sitting on the bed, and a sign that says, Hi Dad.

Telling Family and Friends.
