It’s 8:45am and my 7-month-old daughter has just woken up from her morning nap. She doesn’t usually go down for her first nap until 9am, but she’s been up since 5:30am, so her entire sleep schedule is off.

I’m sitting at the top of the stairs silently reserving my spot in Hell. My daughter, almost seven months old, is in her crib screaming at the top of her lungs and crying so hard I can actually hear that it hurts.

So, the doctor confirmed your pregnancy and now you’re waiting for the perfect way to tell your partner, right? Instead of blurting it out between folding loads of laundry, why not make your announcement something special?
