We have 4 beautiful daughters and are expecting a baby in June. The ultrasound is MOnday. We are really hoping for a boy because this will be our last one. Of course we would love another girl too. My husband won't be able to go to the ultrasound with me. I am trying to come up with a creative idea of how to tell him what gender we are having once I find out. I really don't want to tell him over the phone. I won't drive down to his work because it is too far and too scary for me. (It is over an hour away on the freeway and I get too scared driving on the freeway). Any creative ideas of how to tell him would greatly be appreciated!!!
When my sil found out that she was having her first boy she got a baseball glove and mit and put it on my brothers pillow with a little not that said.. youd better brush up!
I thought that was really cute.
fotune cookie you can warm them up take out the fortune put your new one in
You could have the ultrasonographer print off the ultrasound picture that reveals the sex. Then place it in a box with one of those candy gum cigars that says "it's a boy or it's a girl", wrap it, and have it sitting next to a beautiful dinner, specially prepared for him when he gets home from work.
How about sending him a balloon gram to his work and have the balloons either be pink or blue! Or you could have a nice dinner ready for him and get some fancy "country china" (paper plates from the Dollar Tree) in baby blue or pink to set the table with? See if he can figure it out!
If he parks in the garage, you could always make a big sign on posterboard or something with "It's a BOY" or "it's a GIRL" and balloons attached. Good luck on today!

When I told my husband about our third daughter, I couldn't tell him in person and I didn't want to do it over the phone so I sent a dozen pink and white ballons to his office with a little note. Everyone in the office knew before he did by the color of the ballons.
He thought this was a really nice way to find out.
After our third girl, we were blessed with a son. Congratulations!
Yes -- have the ultrasound tech write down the sex of the baby and put it in a sealed envelope. This way you can bring it home and find out together!
My mother told her coworkers what gender baby we had by putting a baggie of blueberry jellybeans on each of their desks. If we had had a girl, she was going to put strawberry cheesecake jellybeans on their desks.
If you are into crafty stuff you could make a scrapbook page with the ultrasound picture and then baby things like rattles, etc and use the pink or blue for background and decorations. Or You could get a little onsie/romper in plain white and either do a pink or blue handprint or write on it "little sister" or "little brother" or "daddy's little girl" etc... and wrap it up like a gift and give it to him.
My brother inlaw could not be at ther ultrasound so my sister inlaw had the person doing the ultrasound right down the gender on a peice of paper and they looked at it together that night. It was a great surprize for both. Congragulations on your upcoming bundle of joy. We are exspecting twins in July and are very excited to find out the sex.
The first thing that came to my mind is to send pink or blue flowers to his work.
Good Luck!!
How about sending him a helium balloon with the gender on? It's a boy! Or It's a girl! from on of the flower store.
blessings for a happy, healthy baby.
sincerely,

Decorate the house with colored balloons and special products (a girly doll or cars/tools) depending on if its a boy or a girl.
I like the idea of having the ultrasound tech seal the gender in an envelope and wait til hubby gets home. Then you can find out together!

When he gets home have a small gift for him at his place at the table. If it's a boy maybe a blue bib or a small baseball mitt. Or vice versa if it's another girl. I've seen this before and can be really comical. Hope you and the baby do well and congratulations!
My husband was not able to make it to our youngest ultra sound either. We had a 4 year old boy and was hoping for a girl but like you we didnt care either way. So after the ultrasound I went shopping and bought a pink blanket, pink clothes and had them on the table when he walked through the door, and he was so excited. He said he was more excited than if I would of called him at work to tell him over the phone.
I agree with a few other suggestions on here about having the ultrasound tech not tell you, but put it in a sealed envelope and you & your husband can find out together. I know if it were my husband, that's the way he'd want it. I also would have a VERY hard time not calling him up to tell him...especially if it were a boy and that's what we were really hoping for!
Congratulations on the new baby!
I was trying to think how would I like to get the news...I do like the envelope and wait until he gets home... however I would not wait. I know myself too well.
So, then I was trying to think what would be fun is if it is a boy send him a dozen tools. little things like wrenches and screwdrivers... oooh or even the baloons with a tool as the weight...
I am sure your local flourist can help you out... or even a person in his office. Do you know anyone in his office that you could call and ask them to help you?
If is a girl... I think I would have someone deliver something "girly" like flowers and chocolate... he is going good luck let us all know
Hear is a good way to tell him at home. have your girl's take him in the living room and sit him down and play game of shrads and ave him gess what they are trinig to tell him what it is.
