30th bday a week after due-date...

DDK513

DH is already bugging me about what i want for my birthday (the big 3-0) and ideally i'd love to go away for a weekend or something, but baby-girl is due right around then, and I can't even think about my birthday - i'm more concerned about hers!

I know he wants to have a party but when would we even do it?  (if at all??) i dont want to plan something and invite people if, when the time comes, i've JUST had the baby...

I know i shouldnt even be stressing about this...  do you ladies have any ideas on what we could do that wouldnt be a huge deal?

thanks...

What about staying the night ina nice hotel in town so you don't have to go away but get to do something fun?

just plan to go to dinner or have people over if it's easier.  I wouldn't plan a big party too far in advanced though, honestly.  What if you're just too exhausted from just having a baby or are in the process of actually having the baby???

Maybe even ask your hubs if you can celebrate early?  Like a few weekends before or something.  Ya you'll be big and miserable, but that's better than having a week old baby and exhausted! LOL

I think you should plan to have the party a month before your birthday, sort of a last bash before baby.

I'm in the same boat.  My 30th is 2 weeks after my due date.  We have saunas and jacuzzis in our building, so I told DH that I'm planning to have some girlfriends over to do that in the afternoon and then maybe dinner with a small group of friends. 

I'm going to do a big celebration on my "half-birthday" (the 6 month mark after my actual birthday).  I think I'll be a lot more ready to celebrate then.
