I'm due this Friday and am thinking I want to get DH's Valentine's Day present all bought and wrapped before I have the baby since I probably won't have the time/energy to go out and shop after, do you ladies know what you're going to do for your SOs?
Re: What are you doing for DH for Valentine's Day?
this. We just do card and dinner. Although last year I dressed up DD and took some pics of her holding a sign for him saying I Love Dad. They were precious.
This. He doesn;t like to celebrate V-day anyway, so we are both off the hook this year.
This. V-Day is my due date so I might be having a baby!! Otherwise, DH and I don't usually do much for V-Day, it's just another made up holiday. Sometimes we'll go out to dinner but for the most part it's just another day
We have a v-day fondue tradition in our home. Each year we go through a fondue cookbook we received as a gift and we go out the day before and pick up the ingredients a local market. We prepare it together and then we make notes in the book next to the recipes we used. We typically do 3 courses, cheese, broth, then chocolate. So far we've loved everything we tried!
This sounds wonderful! What cookbook do you have? I just got a fondue pot for Christmas and I've been looking for recipes.
My present to him is a baby.
We bought a house two years the day before Valentines Day and he said that was my Valentines Day gift so I am saying pushing this child out is my gift to him
...lol. We are not big v-day people anyways we just cook at home with each other and make a little special meal. Last year we grilled steaks the size of our heads...it was delicious.

We usually go all out but not with gifts. We do cards, flowers, nice dinner, and stuff like that. It's always so much fun. DH loves v-day. LO will be here by v-day so I dont suspect I will feel like going anywhere. So I already bought DH's card and I got him tickets to see his favorite comedian. But that show isnt until March. I already lined up a babysitter as well.
this! what's better than a baby made out of love to say i love you? also i hate valentine's day and wouldn't have done more than buy a card anyway. lol
I am on bedrest and can not really cook, but I make my man chocolate covered fruit every year since we first met. I am going to see if I can enlist some help this year or find some online.
