( I was getting a blood test anyway and had missed my period so I asked if my doctor could order a blood preg test also) Anyways its very early on and I wanted to wait to tell my husband until fathers day not only because it seems fitting- but also because Ill be about 5-6 weeks by then. Further a long and a bit less likely to have a miscarriage - even though I have no history of miscarriages, Im always aware it could happen. This will be our third and last child. Is it right for me to wait to tell my husband? Or should I tell him now?

If this is your final child then making a card with the news on it and putting that into a gift box would probably be awesome.

 Wow. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! Children are such a blessing. Depending on the relationship you have with him you could wait.
If you tell each other everything and he would be upset you didn't tell him, tell him, if not then heck ya, father's day would be an awesome day to tell him.

It really depends on the nature of your marriage relationship. In the great majority of cases I don't think waiting that length of time is wrong in any sense, and playing up the Fathers' Day connection even has a touch of romance. If the nature of your relationship is to "share EVERYTHING" between you two, then he might feel disrespected if you withheld the information. If, as an extreme case, he is totally opposed to a third child then waiting is likely to aggravate an already difficult situation.
You didn't say how intentional this pregnancy is. From personal experience I know that "unplanned" is NOT the same as "unloved" - we have lost sight of that over the last couple generations, when safe and effective contraception is almost universal.
