Valentines day plans?

CarrieB.CarrieB. member
in Success after IF
I know it's a little early, but anyone making plans for valentines day?

Two years ago on valentines day, we did our FET for I and last year we were home w a the resulting collicky baby. So we got a babysitter this year and are going to a grown up dinner party. I'm kind of excited!

    We're going to a housewarming party that afternoon but nothing else. We don't usually do anything for valentines day.

    Eh...I will be mid way through stims. I'm sure I will be feeling super sexy. Plus, I hate condoms and love cocktails. I'm sure I will be a treat. 

    If we stay on schedule, DH has to clear the pipes the following day. Maybe he will get lucky two days in a row. 

    But we usually cook in and enjoy steaks and a nice bottle of wine. 

    @chiwifey oooh! Birthday double dip!! Make that hubby of yours take your somewhere nice!

    No plans here. We don't really celebrate it. We started dating a little before Valentine's day so in the past we honoured that but now we just celebrate our wedding anniversary in October.

    We don't really do much either - much like @MrsAmyDylan we usually get some good steaks or prime rib and enjoy a nice bottle of wine - which won't be happening this year! We'll for sure be laying low at home, maybe live on the wild side and get a movie. DH's bday is 4 days post Valentines Day - so we never do too much.

    I've got nothing here.  N.O.T.H.I.N.G.  I guess we might have sex but that's about it.

    I'm sort of setting my sights on our ten year anniversary in May to do something nice but realistically who am I getting to babysit 5 kids, one being a newborn? 

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    @itsmevkb‌ - it's our 10 year anniversary this year too, in October. We're planning a trip to San Francisco. I think my parents will take the kids, but they'll be 4 and almost 2, so that shouldn't be too bad.

    2005 must have been a great year for weddings. It's also @efooey‌'s10 year. I'm just tagging her for fun because I don't think she even lurks here anymore.

    We have a little bit of money left on some Christmas gift cards, so we plan on going out for some fancy desserts around Valentine's day (the actual date is far too busy!) But with a newborn I didn't want to do a whole dinner out, but I figure dessert with just the three of us (leave Hannah with a sitter) can be romantic. Hey maybe I'll feel brave and leave Beatrix with the sitter too (I can handle an hour or two away right?)
