How will you commemorate birth?

OK, so with all this talk about "push presents", I want to know - what do you plan to do to commemorate LO's birth? One bumpie mentioned planting a tree in the spring... what other ideas do we have? I would like to do a couple of different things, but I'm not that creative.  Big Smile

Re: How will you commemorate birth?

  • celebrate her bday every year.
  • Using it as an excellent excuse to get another tattoo.

  • We collect wine,so when we can, we'll buy futures of a nice wine from 2010. We have bottles from our birth years, as well as our wedding year.

  • My college roommate planted a tree in their front yard. Every year, on her birthday, they have Ella take a picture in front of the tree so they can see how much she has grown.  DH & I really didn't plan on doing anything to commemorate LO's birth.  We also don't plan on staying in our house forever so to plant something or carve something into our pavers etc seems a little silly for us since we won't be there for a long time.
  • I plan on making a ring to match my wedding band with diamonds and aquamarine (my 2 kids birthstone).  Maybe within the next year will wear it on the other side of my engagement ring.
  • Ooh, I like the wine idea! Too bad we aren't wine fans... Wonder if bottles of tequila have the same nostalgia?

    I'll wake up every 2 hours at night for feedings, change countless diapers and stare into the sweetest face in the whole world (well equally the sweetest since I can't imagine anything sweeter than my DS). We're not doing anything special.

    Hey that is what I did too! I thought it was a nice way to celebrate my babe's arrival.

    someecards.com - I support Newt Gingrich's idea of colonizing the moon if it'll help me get away from Newt Gingrich.

  • I am making a baby book and scrapbook for Camryn.

    When I was born my dad planted a maple tree for me and birch for my brother. I am Michelle and he is Brandon. This was always special to me growing up. I thought it was cool that the tree and my name began with the same letter.

    I love it!!!

    Well... you can buy vintage tequila!!! Maybe I should buy a bottle of the tequila we were drinking the weekend before I figured out that I might be pregnant!!! I'll put it up on a shelf in the nursery, along with all the u/s pics!

  • For the past 38 weeks, I've actually been LESS irritable than I ever was before getting pregnant. But today, for some reason, I feel irritable. Maybe it's because my back and pubic bone area hurt.  Maybe it's because I don't have the nursery ready (my own fault). Maybe it's because I'm so excited to meet LO that I can't stand it.  BUT, I was just asking a question.  I don't really care for sm@rt@$$ comments when not necessary.

    I mean, maybe you didn't mean this in a smart way, but I really don't know how else to take it.

    By the way, I was referring to IrishBride

  • I like the wine idea! I think I might do the same thing.. Open a bottle on LO's 21st birthday =)

    I'm curious to see what else people are doing to commemorate the birth.. We're not tattoo people or anything.. Maybe planting a tree might be fun. Hmm..

  • Besided the push present, and what pp's have said (baptism, bdays, etc), we'll celebrate in the hospital with a bottle of Veuve Cliquot (so far, my fave champagne).

  • I am getting a Birthday cake for LO!
  • My DS wants to have a birthday party for his baby brother. Secretly, i think he just wants an excuse to have cake...but it has helped in getting him excited about the arrival of his baby brother. So we will make a cake and have a small party for the baby.
