Missycat that is an EXCELLENT idea!!
That is how I told my husband I was pregnant with our first daughter. Every cell in my body rejected the idea of becoming a (single and despirate in my mind) mother, and I was terrified of being pregnant (and ugly and vulnerable in my mind) but my back-then soon-to-be-husband wanted kids so I agreed to try after 5 years of marriage. (because I had wrongly forecasted that I'd want to divorce him by then anyway - after his "true colors" came out...)
When the time came I did as I had agreed and eventually became pregnant. But I was so horrified by the reality of it that I physically could not form the words with my mouth to say I was pregnant. I knew once I told him I would no longer have the option to abort.
So after repeatedly trying to tell him and failing... I took him to dinner and before dessert came I slid across the table one of those greeting cards you would give to like a friend or co-worker that just said "congratulations on becoming a dad". Cowardly? Maybe just a tad... But effective? Most definitely!!!
