I'm an awesome wife

DH's bday is next month and I just planned a trip to Tampa for us to visit his friends. DH is not going to know until that AM. Gives me something to look forward to too! I can't wait to see his reaction the AM of his bday when I wake him up and tell him to pack his bags, we have a flight to catch! The only downside is the wife is KU, but I am happy for her (even though it happened on the first try).

  • That sounds like so much fun - I'm sure he'll LOVE it!

    I've always wanted to do something like this for DH, but I just don't know how I'd get him to clear his schedule without spilling the beans!

    His bday is on a Friday and he was already taking that day off. I called him this AM and asked if he could take Mon off too. He said he was already taking it off anyways. I told him I would take Monday off with him but couldn't on Friday (even though I am). He probably thinks we are going to a concert or a game. I have done both for him the past and told him to take a day off. I don't think he will suspect Tampa especially since I wont be packing until that AM.

    I would love to treat you girls to Italy or Ireland, but it is not in the budget this year with our donor egg expenses. How about next birthday ??

  • That is such a great idea, and it's going to be so much fun!  Good memories are the best birthday present ever. 

    Two years ago, I surprised DH with tickets to a SF Giants playoffs game on his birthday (it was the year they went on to win the World Series).  He thought we were going to go watch the game at a sports bar, and I just kept driving until he eventually figured it out and started freaking out :)

    I hope you guys have an absolutely amazing trip!

    Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

    IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

    Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

  • Impressive!  Your efforts are inspirational, too, Lynn.  It can be so hard to see outside of ourselves when we're going through this crap. I love that you're so thoughtful.  Your hubby is going to love it!  My husband did this for me once many years ago and I'll never forget it.  Have fun next month!
