help me decide- what's a better bday gift

for my H

1) he actually, for once, gave me a hint- which never happens. He would like a flatscreen monitor for his office computer

2) he is a hardcore red sox fan, and i was thinking about getting tickets to red sox yankees at fenway, so we could take the train (3-4 hrs) and spend a night/weekend in boston. I will be 33 weeks that weekend.

I think #2 would be more fun, but I buy boring practical gifts so I would buy #1

You might want to go with #1. Good luck even getting the tickets for #2. You should check price and availability first since if there are tickets they are probably really expensive!

I would say the screen.... but I am a Yankees fan. haha! The game would actually be a blast I think! If you are up for it...

I'd go with the flatscreen - not sure if I'd want to sit for 3-4 hours on a train at 33 weeks pregnant. (Of course, I've never been 33 weeks pregnant before, so what do I know!)

I guess I'll be the minority here-I think #2 would be great. But then again I always want to travel/go places even if it's just for a day or two. It could be like one last fling before the baby comes!

#2 sounds like a lot of fun, but at 33 weeks you may not be up for a 3-4 hour train ride and a baseball game (I'm sure those seats would be uncomfortable!). Maybe go with option #1 and save #2 for next year.

I vote the baseball thing- it is time sensitive. Once baby comes, he may not get the opportunity. The monitor will be a great Father's day or XMas gift!

I choose 2! I'm a HUGE baseball fan, and it sounds like it could be a mini-babymoon for you two!

BTW, unless there are complications you should be fine at 33 weeks. When I was pg with DD, we went to Italy when I was 28 weeks for 2 weeks- SO I was flying at 30 weeks, and the whole time I was there we went on trains, boats, trollies, you name it and walked for hours and hours every day.
