Vday gift help (for husband)
So I'm thinking of getting tickets to a Sharks games.
I asked around the local board and they seem to think the game would be over around 10-10:30 barring OT or a shoot out. We'd probably take the train (like 3 blocks of walking). So we'd have to leave around 6 for a 7:30 game and probably be home 11-11:30.
I could totally find a sitter for that time. However, I am pretty pregnant and not entirely sure I feel up to the 3 block walk (yeah yeah) and then the stadium to deal with.
Would it be weird to just buy 2 tickets and have him go with a friend?
Should I get 3 tickets and let him take his parents? (they are going to be here for baby j's birth)
buy two and tell him to take his mom/dad whichever wants to go.
Suck it up and go with him (as long as I can find a sitter).
If I'm going, it'll have to be w/in 2 weeks of my due date. Otherwise, I can get him tickets any of the days in March/ early April they have.
tell me what to do

Re: Vday gift help (for husband)
Would he want to see it with you? If so, I think that I'd try to go if at all possible.
If you think he might have more fun with friends then that's totally fine IMO.
It's not actually on Valentine's day, right? You're just giving him the tickets then?
eta: I see that you already have in there that they wouldn't be on V-day
I'd love to see a game, just not sure I want to see one 2 week before I pop
He doesn't really have "friends" here, but has work buddies and some of the play hockey and are into etc, so I think he'd enjoy a night out with a friend.
honestly, I think his mom is the bigger fan
I would get 2 tickets and let him decide who he wants to take - a friend or his mom or dad. It could turn into a great segway for him to become friends with some of his local buddies (although, he's gonna have his hands full soon, LOL). Also, he may have fun with his Mom (or Dad). Unless you think both his parents would want to go, then get 3.
Short answer: You totally don't have to go. A "guy's" night out for him, no matter who it's with, he will greatly enjoy just before the new baby comes.
Awesome gift idea! I'm sure he'll love it.
Whether you get him two tickets or three, I don't think you need to feel bad about staying home. I'm a huge hockey fan, and the only way I'd consider a Caps game at 8 1/2 months pregnant is if it were the Stanley Cup finals. I don't know what it's like where the Sharks play, but at the Verizon Center there's not a lot of room between rows, and you have to stand up and lean back to let people in and out of your row. Nobody could get past a pregnant woman, and you know how much up and down there is with people heading out for beer and pretzels and stuff. Plus all those steps, and the crowded nasty-by-the-end-of-the-night bathrooms... It would be sucktastic to be there as pregnant as you are.
I did something similar last year and bought two tickets for a basketball game for DH. He ended up taking my brother (they were friends before we met). I'd go that route... plus it would be a fun thing for his parents to do. Or just his dad. whichever.
I think it's an awesome gift idea.
