supersticious??? UPDATED
What do u ladies think?
I decided that WHEN I get my BFP, I'm gonna tell DH by wearing a "BUMP" (Baby Under Manufacturing Process) tank.
I know I'm not going to be able to wait for it to arrive once I POAS, so I was thinking of ordering it in advance so I have it handy.
I'm not really that much of a supersticous person but do u think I'd be jinxing it??
Honest opinions welcome 
UPDATE - So I ordered my tank and it is set to be delivered on Friday - which is when I planned to POAS  . I started to think that maybe it's a sign and then I realized I started off this post questioning supersticions 
I am 7DPO and not really feeling much. Was cramping this past week on and off but I'm trying not to read into it. Keeping my fingers crossed though that I won't have to hide the package in the back of my closet

Re: supersticious???
Honestly I don't think it would be bad luck. I mean, if you think about it.. it's best to think positive rather than believing that if you buy a certain baby item, you won't get a bfp!
It's really personal preference though.. I mean, it's not a BABY item. I personally think it's ok, but maybe just don't open up the box it comes in and look at it or try it on, etc.
ETA: Just wanted to add, even though I'm not superstitious, I personally decided against getting a onesie that says "I love Daddy" or something like that...
Instead, I will have a gift card prepared for DH that says it's for dad on it. I saw them at Barnes and Noble. That way I at least have something prepared so I CAN surprise him.

What a cute idea!!!
At first I had thought about getting an I Love Daddy bib or frame but then I thought it would be fun to have him come home and see when he notices the shirt.

Re: supersticious???
I tend to be supersticious and even I think this is totally cute and won't jinx a thing. My hubby and I started trying back in June and I bought him a fathers day card just in case, I still have it and I'll give it to him whenever it happens :)

Re: supersticious???
I am kinda superstitious, but i still got DS a t-shirt that said "big brother" on it when we started ttcing for #2. I was planning on having DS wear it when DH got home, but i ended up testing in front of DH so i never got a chance to do that.
I think its a very cute idea...I wouldnt worry so much about jinxing anything

Re: supersticious???
I dont think it would be bad luck! I want to do the same thing sort of. I dream of telling DH by having our dog (yes our dog ) wear a shirt that says "Im going to be a big brother". I already found it online and I want to order it. For some reason I havent yet.
If you do it I will!
