She Wants to Wait To Tell Her Husband That She’s Pregnant Again Until He Gets Home From A Trip, But She Knows He’ll Probably Be Upset
This woman’s husband is a stay-at-home father to their 4-year-old daughter.
Her husband is caring and adores their daughter, and their daughter adores him in return. Their daughter hasn’t been away from him much since he stays home with her.
In two weeks, her husband is taking a week-long vacation with his best friend from college.
During his trip, he’s going to hang out with a ton of college friends that he hasn’t had the chance to get together with since they got married.
At first, her husband was hoping that the entire family could go on this trip, but she suggested that he go on his own because she thought he’d have more fun being able to catch up with his friends without having to worry about watching their daughter.
Plus, she doesn’t think their daughter is old enough to appreciate this kind of trip anyway, especially since she’d only met her husband’s friends once before.
She’s also looking forward to a week off from work during her husband’s vacation so that she can hang out with their daughter, just the two of them since she doesn’t get to do that very often.
“Yesterday morning, I learned that I am pregnant. We have been trying for some time now and really want lots of kids, so I am over the moon, and I know my husband (and daughter) will be too. During my first pregnancy, he was a huge prepper,” she said.
When they first learned about her first pregnancy, her husband did so much research and preparation before their daughter was born, while taking care of her, that he got overwhelmed and anxious. But she was so grateful that he was supportive and helped her out so much.

Even though she doesn’t think her husband will be as intense and overwhelmed this time around, she does anticipate him still putting a lot of time and effort into preparing and taking care of her.
“I honestly don’t really want to tell him until after his trip in three weeks, even though it’s a huge secret for me to keep. I think he’ll potentially be ‘upset’ (which with him is very tame) when he finds out I’d known for three weeks, but would get over it fast,” she explained.
Her main worry is that if she told him before the trip, he would be too distracted and wouldn’t have fun with his friends. She wants him to make the most of his vacation, soak it all in, and relax.
“I can just imagine the constant texts asking me questions for the millionth time or sharing his most recent thoughts,” she shared.
She also wants to be able to focus all of her attention on her week with their daughter.
At the same time, she doesn’t enjoy the idea of hiding such huge news from him, and she feels like he definitely has the right to know.
