Black Friday - WWYD?

So, Thanksgiving (aka my birthday) is coming up really fast. I'll be 34 weeks pregnant at the time, and am really looking forward to having Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday off. Normally I would be shopping from 4 a.m. - sometime that afternoon, but I don't think that's a great idea this year. (I'll be with MIL and SIL who are professional shoppers or something, and won't just be able to be finished shopping when I don't want to anymore.) I could always go by myself, but I don't think that works well either. Not to mention, I'm way over half-way done with my Christmas shopping, so it wouldn't be like I needed a lot that day anyway.

WWYD? Would you suck it up and go, or stay home and enjoy it? Probably if I stay home I'll be working on this gem of a project - making a farmhouse kitchen table. image

    First, great table!  And it goes so well with that wall color.  Second, not to sound too simple, but do whatever you want to do!  You have earned that right. Stick out tongue

    I agree with Rachel!  I wouldn't make any decisions now.  See how you feel when the time comes.

    Could you just decide to go until you feel like you're done?  Or is it all or nothing?

    Can you drive separately?  That way you can still go with people you know, but leave when you get tired or have finished all of your shopping.

    Oh, and I love that table!  Make sure to show us when you've made yours!

     agreed.  Can you meet up somewhere and leave your car where you might plan on being in a couple hours?  That way when you get there, you can leave if you're tired.

    Stay home!  I hate crowds and I hate shopping so that's my obvious answer.  I've never had any desire to go Black Friday shopping and have never seen a deal that I couldn't get online later or find a better price for a different brand of the same quality.  So to me, battling with crazies at 4AM just isn't worth it!

    And that table is beautiful!!!

    The table is just gorgeous.... first of all.

    Second, being THAT pregnant, and fighting THOSE crowds, is a no-no in my book...  I wouldn't do it, Ta.

    Thanks girls, I really appreciate your responsCooles. I didn't really want to go, but I know how much crap I'm going to get for not going. Some people don't realize that I'm pregnant, and uncomfortable, don't want to walk around for hours, and things in general just get on my nerves right now that wouldn't ordinarily bother me. I don't think it's a good idea, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy for thinking I shouldn't go.

    And hopefully I can get the table built. My DH is being stupid and doesn't want to help, my mom thinks I should wait, so I'm going to have to enlist some friends to come help. My best friend from high school and her DH built the one in that picture. I think I'll have them come over to help Cool
