It's a very clear memory. I came out of the bathroom, wiping away tears of joy and nervousness. My blonde was still dozing. I sat on the bed beside her, stroking her shoulders. Smiling, I handed her the pregnancy test with the two pale lines that would change our lives. She was a mother.<\/em><\/p>\n

It'll never happen. You can take it easy, but announcing to your partner that you're expecting a baby will always be a mom's responsibility.<\/p>\n

Mom's pregnant, dad's in shock<\/h2>\n

It was the December, 23 2017, around 6 a.m. Yes, announcements are always made very early in the morning, because it\u2019s from morning pee that you can extract the information. Afternoon pee has no idea what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

I was ... surprised, let's put it that way. I had to Google images of positive pregnancy tests to convince myself, I found the lines a little too pale to draw a conclusion. Is that denial?<\/p>\n

The project was brand new. We'd stopped taking birth control pills just a few weeks before (I didn't like the taste, anyway). My girlfriend had been telling me for a while that the average wait before getting pregnant was 6 months. I hit well below the average, just like at university ...<\/p>\n

Mom and Dad on the first try<\/h2>\n

It happens. On the first attempt, I made a circuit, a hole-in-one, a clean top, a draw on the button (curling metaphor).<\/p>\n

A month of waiting. In fact, after a month, I don't think you could say we were waiting. Personally, I was still warming up. I didn't have to live through the moment when ovulations are registered on my electronic calendar, and my girlfriend calls me at work to say: \"At noon, you're coming home for dinner, my man!
I'm not complaining, we're lucky. I was just struck by the news that I'd become a father so quickly, that's all.<\/p>\n

Don't announce it too quickly<\/h2>\n

Mom has to tell Dad as soon as she finds out. That makes sense. No guy wants to be surprised!<\/p>\n

But when do we tell the others? A positive pregnancy test is hard news to hide. Announcing to my friends and brother that I'm going to be a father, to my parents that they're going to be grandparents, to my racquetball partner that I'm going to be a lot less available... it burns the lips!<\/p>\n

But you have to hold your tongue at the beginning. You don't want to announce that you're going to be a parent too soon, and then have to announce that you're not going to be one anymore...<\/p>\n

Every couple has its own way of doing things<\/h2>\n

When do we say it? It's not written in any book or on any discussion forum, and the experiences of the parents around us are all different. Is there a better time? After the first doctor's appointment? After the first ultrasound? When Mom gets caught sneaking a non-alcoholic beer?<\/p>\n

There's probably no right or wrong time, no too early or too late. If you come up with a game plan that works for Mom and Dad, and stick to it, you'll have passed this stage with flying colors.<\/p>\n

What about us? We escaped the news a little<\/h2>\n

We had a game plan, that's for sure. Wait for the first appointment with the doctor to confirm that everything was in order before telling anyone.<\/p>\n

It was supposed to take about four weeks. We held out for 26 hours.<\/p>\n

And by we, I mean her.<\/p>\n

It was the morning of December 24, the day after her positive pregnancy test. She had planned a Christmas lunch with her two great friends.<\/p>\n

On his return :<\/p>\n

- And darling, how did it go? You didn't tell them, did you?<\/p>\n

- Max, they know me by heart, I couldn't hide from them...<\/p>\n

- Come on! You've been pregnant for a day! You could have denied it!<\/p>\n

- I'm telling you, they guessed it.<\/p>\n

- Okay, look, it doesn't matter. If they guessed, it's not your fault. Otherwise, it was fun?<\/p>\n

- Yes! You should have seen their faces when they opened their Christmas present. It was worth a million.<\/p>\n

- What did you give them?<\/p>\n

-Little suckers.<\/p>\n
