Push Present

[moonlight]

I just asked DH where my push present was;

"What is that? I assume it has to do with birthing a child?"

I explain

"Oh. You don't get one. You get the love and satisfaction of birthing a child. Or whatever"

And then he went back to his game

Don't fall for that! Hehehe!

I'll tell y'all another. I also asked for flowers (like last time) with a few pink roses in the arrangement. Nothing crazy expensive. I even told him where a good and easy place to order from- Kroger!

Someone at work told DH he had to get me one. He wouldn't have had a clue otherwise. My birthday was a week before DS arrived so he got me a few things. My favorites were an emerald pendant and a book of old Irish legends that I can read to DS.

Yes - one chain, two pendants. And yes, I think ruby is correct.

Perfect. I think this is exactly what I'll ask for. Then at Chritmas I'll get the second pendant. I'm going to hold off one more week before I decide. I really love the earring idea. I could pass on the ruby earrings to her when she's older engagement/wedding/graduation type thing.
Can you tell I'm a planner and a bit sentimental?

Love that idea!

I showed this to DH from Alex and ani so hopefully he gets the point!

And the donate life one, and the special delivery

I got a baby. The first time I got a baby boy. The second time, I got a girl. Oh, Chad also managed to get me hospital cafeteria lasagna very quickly after I had Alexia, AND, I also got to get my PICC line out. Super sweet.

Lmao!! I anticipate my push present being the damn sub for Jimmy Johns that I've been craving and unable to have for the last 8 months!!

And yes, July is 100% ruby.

A jimmy johns sub would have totally hit the spot. I ate a sandwich after #2 at 4 am

No gift here either. For our first, I gave DH a book I'd made with Blurb of ultrasound pictures and letters from friends and family with advice and why they think he'd be a great dad. It would be weird to ask your DH for something like that, but it turned out really cool.

I would never expect a push present. I think it's been made popular by celebrities.
We were broke and in medical
school when our three were born.
Call me a grumpy bitch, but I think it's ridiculous.

Yes this! When did "stuff" become the reward ?

No push present for first baby. For second baby, I bought myself an expensive diaper bag, which I ended up selling a few months later when I realized I liked my $30 Eddie Bauer backpack better! I guess we don't really do push presents.

I agree. It doesn't make me angry or anything, but I just don't get it. We were young and had no money when we had our three, and DH had enough to worry about without the added pressure of having to buy me a present. We were making a family *together*. I guess that's why I don't get it.

[Vanquisher]

I forgot! I also got the great and monumental relief of not being pregnant anymore. That was a pretty awesome thing.

We also had no money for either of our kids (undergrad and med school).

If your spouse wants to get you something to mark the occasion, then fine, but I just don't get the expectation. Besides, I have a hard enough time with getting a gift on my birthday.

You know what would be the best gift if you're so inclined? Have the house professionally cleaned while you're at the hospital. It's a win-win for everyone!

My mom did this for me the first two times! K came early so I needed her help with the girls more than the house cleaning.
