3yr anniversary today and a little down...

it's our last anniversary without having a LO around and we're doing..... NOTHING!   DH has gotten me great gifts the past two anniversaries, which is totally saying something because he is a terrible gift giver, but I don't think he got me anything this year.   And I understand it - we've spent a ton of money recently renovating the house so it's really not a good time for an extravagant gift, but still...  I think it's worse because he has to work late tonight, and we're staying at my parents tonight because we're getting our floors refinished so when he does get home it will be the four of us hanging out.  Nothing against my parents, but...  It's just not the last anniversary as a couple that I hoped for...

And now I'm mad at myself for being so whiny...

    can the two of you go out for dinner and go for a romantic walk or something?  Don't focus on the gifts too much.  you've got the best gift on the way and you're very blessed to have been able to renovate your home in this economy.  I don't think you're whiny...you're very pregnant and have feelings that sometimes overwhelm.  Just try to sneak away some moments to yourself and enjoy each other.  GL.

    It's our anniversary today as well and we are just going out to dinner. No gifts or anything this year.

    The Dairy Queen in a glass sounds fantastic. Now I want some. I may have to have DH do this for dessert

    It's our 3yr today, too. DH has a grad school assignment due by midnight that he hasn't started yet, but agreed to dinner and DQ to make it feel a little less like a regular Wednesday night. ?But I definitely understand - it's especially crappy if he's got to work late. ?Don't be mad at yourself for whining - but definitely do something to make it a less-than-ordinary Wednesday.?

    Pack up a picnic and watch the sunset in the park. Anniversaries are about being together, not being grandiose.

    Can you guys make a date for this weekend instead of tonight? I feel your pain, my anniversary is tomorrow, and no plans either. My DH works nights, and I know that he already has weekend plans. Boo for me

    So now I feel bad for complaining!  He is coming home early (well earlier than normal) and we're going out for a quick bite to eat away from my parents and then we're going to look at strollers!  I'm hoping that one look at the Uppababy Vista and he'll fall in love. 

     Thanks for the support ladies!  It looks like you helped my luck turnaround!

    It's our 4 year tonight and he had to work late at the hospital, so he's still not home.  But now I'm inspired to walk to DQ when he does get home :)
