How did the DW find out?
She took a pregnancy test just to clear suspicion, and said suspicion winded up being confirmed.
Is there a reason why she took the test?
The dreaded morning sickness! Louisa had been feeling sick practically every day for over a week, and since it didn't seem to go away on its own, she decided to see a doctor to find out what was going on, as the sickness kept her from keeping much food down even though she was hungry, as and as result had begun to lose weight. However, before she got a chance to see a doctor, she noticed she hadn't had her period yet. Putting two and two together, Louisa took a pregnancy test just to make sure.
How did she feel when she found out?
After getting past the initial shock, Louisa started squealing and jumping up and down before a wave of nausea washed over her and she had to cut her celebration short. All in all, she was elated.
How did she tell the DH?
One day when Edward got home from work Louisa was acting a little bit weird. She didn't tell him anything even though he asked. They ate dinner and when Edward was almost finished he was that something was written on the plate! He ate the rest, and then he could see the text. It said "Daddy to be". He laughed at it and said that those plates must have been very cheap. Louisa just looked at him and seconds later Edward understood. Louisa was pregnant! (Weird story I know....You can change it if you want)
Did he suspect anything?
Louisa didn't feel very well and Edward was worried that she might be ill and he told her to see a doctor. He never really thought that she was pregnant, becuse they had not planned it.
How did the DH feel when he found out?
Edward was very happy to find out that Louisa was pregnant. He couldn't believe his luck! He had an awesome wife and they were having a child! He wanted to scream it out to the world!
How did they tell their families?
Louisa and Edward called their families and asked them to come for dinner which they did. After dinner Edward told them that they had something important to tell them. At that point most of the relatives understood and started smiling and jumping around. And when Louisa confirmed that she was pregnant they all started hugging her!
Were their families happy? sad? angry?
They were all very happy to have a new baby in the family and couldn't wait for the baby to be born!
Anything else?
Our naming rule is to give our children animal names. Any suggestions?

Aww, that's such a sweet 'Tell the DH' story! So endearing, and the family response was great too.
Hmm, animal names... For a boy I like Leo and Björn, and for a girl Linnet and Ylva, but since I don't usually go for animal names, I bet there are dozens of them out there that I'm unaware of. WHat are your suggestions?

I don't really go for animal names either, but I LOVE Leo (if that name counts, maybe Leopard "Leo" or Lion if it doesn't count?). Linnet is also fine, close enough to Linnea which I like. Elephant maybe for a MN? I haven't thought about it as a name before but I think I have a new GP :P
Other suggestions (I'm going wild here..): Llama, Jaguar, Lark, Hawk, Heron, Nightingale, Raven, Seal, Tiger, Wolf, Zebra, Llinos (means greenfinch), Mavis, Sparrow
I don't even know if I could call some of them "names" :P My favorites are by far Nightingale and Wolf. Any other suggestions?

I hope it counts! Well, looks like Edward and Louisa's first boy will be named Leo :P
Linnet and Llinos would be so cool (do you know the song from the Sweeney Todd musical and film?), in a slightly obscure way.
I managed to find these: Eland (a type of antelope), Dolphin, Fox (too X-Files?), Gull, Magpie, Mallard, Oryx (another antelope)... this is hard! For some reason birds in general seem to have more appealing names.

Leo it is then! I hope we don't have a girl ;)
I have not heard the song, do you know what it's called?
I liked Oryx too. And Maybe Eland. Those are boys names for me though..Maybe animals in other languages counts?
Cobra, Bee, Kangaroo, Panther/Panter (Panter is the Swedish spelling), Pigeon?

The song is called 'Green Finch and Linnet Bird', that's why I thought it was neat. You can check this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9uEMKtYjXc
Oh yes, Oryx and Eland are all boy to me as well. It would be better if other languages counted, otherwise we'll have to name kids Skunk and Beaver :/ Bee is actually cute, in a syrupy sort of way. I also like Papillon (butterfly in French).

Bee is very cute, maybe too cute :P
Papillon is fine too, much better than Skunk imo ;)

Once you have one combo per gender pick a number. You can use names that mean animals i.e. Ariel --> Lion

Oh thanks, that makes things a lot easier!
So... what do you say to Leo Sparrow? Leo Nightingale? Leo Heron?
And for girls, maybe Linnet Vega? Linnet Bee? Linnet Erlea (Basque for 'a bee')? Linnet Circe? More suggestions are very welcome ;)
