I was thinking about getting my DH a card and making him a nice dinner. I saw that Hallmark has some cute dad-to-be Father's Day cards. I would like to make the day special for him.
Anyone else thinking of doing something for Father's Day for your DH or SO?
Re: Are you getting dad-to-be a father's day gift?
My H really wanted a new swim case for his iPod shuffle since his old one is on the fritz. He not so subtly sent me the link to it via email and said "maybe for father's day?"...basically, he wants it and will buy it for himself if I don't get it for him...and this is a good excuse to do so
So yeah, I have that for him. Not exactly baby-related either...ha! Maybe I'll write something schmoopy in a card about how I hope he passes on his love of swimming and music to our baby, blah blah blah.
I actually got him a really special something from our pets last year, but this year I'm feeling less inclined to do much extra thinking. Hopefully I'll feel more up to it next year!
I'm having a "Dad" themed gift basket delivered to his job (mostly nuts and root beer) on the Friday before. Then, I have a small album from the boudoir shoot I did when I was 13 weeks along (it was planned & paid for last October, before I was pregnant). I don't look at all pregnant, and had actually lost several pounds, so I was pretty psyched about how it came out even though I was preggers! lol
I was also thinking about getting him a Saints diaper bag, but don't want to go too overboard. He gave me spa pillow for our bathtub for Mother's Day.
I just really want to make this one special since he has been so great through the pregnancy and Dads tend to not get recognized as much.
I am trying to figure this out too... I am thinking of one of these tshirts:

I like the second one best. There's also a cute one:

DH is a HUGE Atlanta Braves fan. In the nearly 4 years that we've been married, we've always had the cheapest cable package - which doesn't include the sports channels for the baseball games. I'm upgrading our cable package for DH's Father's Day so that he can watch all the ball games. It turned out to be a really cheap present (our bill is going up $5 per month). I'm also getting him a daddy-to-be card.
I'm thinking about splurging a little and getting him a little point and shoot camera... Nothing expensive, but the only one we have is my clunky advanced digital that is a PITA if you want to catch something on the fly (we've had it for 3 years and are still trying to figure it out! ha!).
I'd like to have one in the house for when L gets here, so I feel like it would be a good opportunity/excuse to go get one
I?m making a card and found a poem online to put in it
I would go and buy one... but I?d have to ask him for the money because I don?t work so it wouldn?t be a surprise then :-p
