Pregnant with 4th - how to tell him?

Question

Back story-  we have 3 girls ranging in age from 12-3 1/2.  We choose to use natural methods of Birth Control- and managed the past 3.5 years pregnancy free.  I've always wanted another child, as I felt our family isn't "complete" yet.  However, he see's different and didn't want anymore.  

About 3 months ago, he started answering different when I would bring things up about another baby-  while he didn't come right out and say he wanted another one- he never said he didn't like he used to.  Fast forward to this past month- he opted to thwart our natural birth control method in the heat of the moment- for whatever reason.  

Well go figure- the chances of that being when I was ovulating-  so today found out from a home test I am pregnant!  I have mixed emotions, as it hasn't really sunk in.

So my question is this-  since we weren't technically planning on it or trying-  yet we werent doing things to ensure it didnt happen either- what is the best way to tell him?  Just tell him? or would it be ok to do something "cute" to let him know?

We are engaged and our wedding is set for August of this year.  This is going to throw a whole new dimension to that- oh boy oh boy!  =)

You have 3 children, so 'breaking the news' about another should be such a problem.  It will surprise him but the why of it shouldn't be a surprise.  After all, it took two, didn't it.  Just tell the guy.  Maybe a boy would be nice for the family, don't you think?  Good Luck.

This will sound so cheesy but my sis did it and her cheesy husband loved it!
Cook a meal of baby peas baby limas baby carrots and lots of things that are really small
you can tell him over dinner while eating baby things.I would not do this myself but it worked for her. you could always try it. I hope you get a boy! They are a mess but so much fun especially after girls who are so easy! lol
