  1. Are you serious? You got an email from a 58 year old, asking how to tell her husband she’s pregnant? Isn’t that some sort of record? She doesn’t have to tell him. Just wait for the TV crews to show up to make a news story out of her.

  7. Honey, Do you remember how we thought we would be bored during retirement? Well, good news! Retirement is going to have A LOT of excitement!

  8. Honey,

  9. Honey…. If you can push the baby out by 1:00pm we can still get to the Post Office on time to pick up your Social Security check.

  10. You know how they always say children keep you young….( from a 50 year old woman who’d love to have such great news to share with her hubbby. After all we only have 10 kids so far.)

  11. Let me tell you a story… One day my wife asked me if I had had a dream. I said no & that ended the conversation. That nite I had a dream that she was great with child. The next day I told her about my dream & asked her if she was expecting. She shyly said yes & told me that she had asked God to give me a dream because she didn’t know how to tell me. Our youngest son was 8 years old. All I could say was “Wow”. So Justin, our 5th child, born in my 44th year is our Wow Baby.

  12. Honey, I was thinking that we should take up a new hobby. Yeah you’re right, we’re to old for that. Better stick with a hobby we are already good at. Did I mention your going to be a Dad again? Oh I forgot to set out some ground beef for dinner.

  16. Honey, I’ve always admired the way you live by God’s Commands. I especially appreciate your willingness to obey His command to,“be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth”. So we’re going to obey God again and do some multiplication! Aren’t you happy Honey? Honey?

  17. Do you really mean 48? I think 56 is the world’s record. She could say, Guinness call today honey, we’re in the book. Could you please pass the coffee, decaf, please.

  18. God is soooo gracious and full of mercy. He also has a wonderful sense of humor. We got our gift before the ages of Abe & Sarah. He is always on time!

  19. May I lead our Bible study tonight? I’ll read Genesis 15:1-6 then you read 17:1-8,15-19 and I’ll finish up with 18:1-5,9-14.

    Finally, we’ll close with a meditation on Psalm 127:5 considering this question: is this a promise or a command? “Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them…”

    all the Genesis verses are listed here, btw….http://www.dltk-bible.com/kjv/genesis_15.htm

  20. Hey all you slugs….
    How about some excitement . love compassion.
    God has a plan?
    What great new’s!
    {If he’s any kind of Man}

  21. Honey, remember how the pastor asked us all to pray about contributing to the growth of our church? We’re personally involved. 🙂

  22. Most of the comments are clever, but in the event she wants something a bit more serious, I would suggest an approach that is direct and God centered:
    “I need your help. Most importantly, I need your support and understanding. I don’t really understand God’s plan here, but apparently he intends to bless us with a(another) child. We’re pregnant.”

  23. Honey do you you know how much a breast enhancement costs?… Well this one is only temporary and will take about 18 years to pay off!

  24. Honey,
    Remember how we discussed our mistakes raising the kids and how we would have changed a few things? God gave us the chance to get it right!

  25. Take a stuffed toy rabbit and hang it from the neck on the front porch and put out a sign “The Rabbit DIED!”

  26. Just say “You know I always dreamed of a shot-gun wedding … so lets renew our vows now before the baby comes …”

  27. Honey, remember how you complained about not having any tax deductions? Well, say hello to a child tax credit!

  28. If you have other kids… buy the youngest a white tee shirt and write with a sharpie “I’m Going TO Be A Big Brother/Sister!!” then have him wear to do something special with dad! It worked for me… (Of course I am only 28 and it was our 6th child)

  29. Those pregnancy tests look an awful lot like a USB flash drive. Slip one into his computer drawer, and when he tries to insert it into the computer, he can flip it over to read the note that says “I’ll bet you were so surprised to find that I had switched your USB flash drive with a pregnancy test!”

  30. Presuming that they already have had family: Honey, I have some good news and some interesting news! The good news is, someone in the family is expecting! The interesting news is, it isn’t one of the kids!

  31. Okay guys, this lady asked for help not to be made to feel worse. I have read through great suggestions, but also unkind, sarcastic, insensitive remarks that could only burden her more. She came for your help not to be cut down. She really put herself out there hoping to get some encouragement in how to handle something that has taken her by surprise as much as it will her husband. God blessed them with this baby for a divine reason and chose them to be the parents. 🙂

  32. Well, that put an end to it, didn’t it?! In all fairness, Todd’s Top 10 are always, funny, no?? So I think people were just continuing the tradition… and funny it was!! Todd – any word?? 🙂

  33. “Honey, I have some really important news that I just don’t know how to express to you. I found a link on the web that says it much better than I could” Direct husband to this web page.

  34. Congrats!!!! to you.I an a 25 year old woman.Don’t worry about your age. Just hold his hand and kiss his lips and Say God knows we are good people and trusts us with his gift.Honey we’re going to have a baby.Take good care of yourself and baby.

  35. I like the funny comments.. I think if you’re having a baby at age 58, you’d better have a sense of humor! I think I would have my husband go for a stress test to make sure his heart is okay before I tell him! I actually like the idea of letting God tell him in a dream!

  36. I think Angela said it best, along with something along the line of trusting in the Lord’s plans. 2nd choice is Jeanne’s suggestion.

  37. I think Angela said it best, along with something along the line of trusting in the Lord’s plans. 2nd choice is Jeanne’s suggestion.
    Oh, by the way….what did she have???

  38. Whatever you do, make sure you give him time to mull it over before you ask him for a response. It might sound silly or even callous to blurt it out and then leave the room (or the house for that matter), but he needs some space to consider what you’ve said. I always find it unfair that a) women often ruminate forever about something and then expect a man to have an immediately positive reaction and b) some women don’t trust that men can handle life. So give him the opportunity to amaze you.
