Do you plan on doing something special for DH or LO before delivery?

What I am wondering is if any of you plan on writing a note to your significant other or to the baby before you go into labor? 

 Why I am asking is because my Dad wrote me a note while my Mom was in labor with me. I treasure that note and he even quoted some of his emotions from the letter in his speech at our wedding.  

 I have been thinking a lot about this idea and other options. Just wondering what others may be doing. . .

    That's a really cute idea.  Maybe DH and I can do this together, he's not very sentimental but I might be able to convince him to do it.

    Sounds like a nice thing to do, but too mushy for me.  Since this is #2 I plan to give DH and big kiss and hug and say "See you in three months.  Anything I say or do from this point until three months are up (or when the baby STTN) is merely because I'm exhausted, stressed and feeling incompetent as a wife and mother".

    We keep a website for our little guy and both blog on it.  I have printed out all of the blogs along with cards, etc from family members and put them in a scrapbook.  I have one letter that my mom wrote to me when she was pregnant and I hope his scrapbook means as much to him as the letter does to me.  It shows how excited we are to have him and how we've prepared for his arrival.

     

    Later, I"m going to ask his grandparents if they would like to include a letter for the book.  I'm not sure when I'll give it to him, I may wait until he is older and his wife is pregnant.

    Yup.  DH didn't prior to C's birth, but I did ... And he did write one (that I'm not 'allowed' to read) for his 1st birthday.  I plan on doing this every year, every birthday, for all of our kids.

    Besides my blog which is more to keep my huge out of state family up to date I write a letter to LO whenever the mood strikes. Even though I have no reason to think anything bad will ever happen to me, I like to let him know how I think about things and tell him how much I love him.

    I wrote him a letter for Father's Day and it made him cry.  He is not a crier.  Neither of us are very emotional with our words, but we make up for it with being annoyingly cuddly.  He loved it, but he tucked it away in a safe place....when he looked at it the little corners of his mouth would turn down like he might cry again. So as not to make him uncomfortable again, I believe a BJ will be well received.  If he cries after that, then we'll have a problem.
