Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I never even heard of it until I came on LIF.
I never brought a push present up to Dh bc I felt if I told him he would think I'd dropping a hint when I honeslty wouldn't be.
I never wanted one; it's not for me.
Okay I think times have changes b/c I *think* I want one now. This is my last and my 4th, and I swear I want it to be like American Idol when all the confetti comes down from the celiing. I want bottles of champagne being popped and the nurses to be holding sparklers.
 
I even think I am going to buy my children gifts from the new baby; something small of course and I'll give it to them in the hospital right after they meet their little bro/sis. I never did this before but I think it's cute.
I know that I don't I want a gift that has nothing to do with my children. I want something to make me always remember the moment of delivering our last child together- even if it's a card. I LOVE my Dh's cards.
I think I am going to drop a hint this time. This calls for a celebration as does every childbirth!!!
Sooooooo do you want/are expecting/asking for a push present???

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I "expect" nothing and I am sure that is what I am going to get
not to beat the dead horse but I just don't "get" the whole push present

I totally "get" it and so do you but it's just not for us. This time I feel *I* want to do something special b/c this is our last. My Dh makes me his own cards for Valentines Day, I think I'm going to request a card for this. The more I think abot it the more I am going to ask. This would be perfect!

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
we are getting two...a stroller and a baby jogger  ba dum dum
right now, the best thing dh could do for me...could give me...is one hour 4 days a week to get back into shape, and then a shopping spree once I do. I don't need anything else. certainly not at that point I don't think.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I honestly don't want one....I thnk it would be nice if we got something together to honor the baby, but not a "push present".
Besides, with all DH is doing right now and will be doing for the next 12/16 weeks, the last thing "I" should be getting is a gift!

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
i already told dh i don't want any "mom" jewelry, but he and I have a feeling his mom will make him get me something b/c it's the "right" thing to do Honestly, i would rather spend the money on something else..the only jewelry i wear on a regular basis is my e-ring and wedding band...everything else gets the most use when i first get it and then it eventually goes into the box and is not seen again for a long time!

I'm lucky DH remembers to do V-day, birthdays and other important holidays...lol. For me, I definitely think a "push" present is WAYYYYY pushing it...

Yes, that's exactly it. You said it better than I did. I want to celebrate my family, b/c this is it, our family is created and we're done. I want to celebrate us!

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I won't be asking for anything. I think having this baby together is a big enough present for both of us, especially after what we've been through to conceive.
All I ask of him is to be supportive and helpful in the delivery room!

same here. i mentioned it once before - that i'd like something to represent the birth of our little girl...but i don't think it sunk in...(i'm talking like a silver necklace with her birthstone or something - nothing OVER THE TOP)...

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
HI ladies! DH went and organized (and paid for!) a private room for me for 4 nights in the hospital after our C-Section, it was the BEST present he could have given me, I appreciated it SOOOOOOOOOOOO much!
I love your idea of something for the kids from the new baby, that's really sweet

I would never expect or even think to ask DH for a "push present". The idea is silly to me.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I have no idea. I mentioned to DH that this is what people do now but I would really love for him to write me something meaningful. I love when he does that.
We are spending a ton of money finishing the attic, expanding the deck, he/we are paying for my shower, me stopping working, and then all the baby gear and I know that we won't get everything we registered for the shower...
He asked me if I wanted something major but I told him no.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I don't believe in a push present. My daugher was present enough. However, with that said... the best thing my DH could have done was get US a baby nurse to help out in the very beginning as I was having a VERY difficult time when DD came home from the hospital. It was honestly worth every penny!

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I wont be asking for anything.. he's finishing the basement and putting new floors in the kitchen before the baby comes and that is gift enough!!
Oh and the stroller we're getting.. Ill consider that a nice present.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
In my family a present to the new mom is actually a tradition. My mom, grandma, and great grandma all received something for the birth of their children. I got a ring for DS. I will treasure it always. It was not the actual gift, but it is the meaning and sentiment behind it. Feel free to knock it it you want, but I know how treasured each woman in my family treats these things, it reminds me of the special moment in time when DS was born.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I thought the idea was odd when I first heard of it. Then I warmed up to the idea of getting a nice gift.
But now that I'm actually pregnant, I couldn't care less about a push present.
I don't begrudge anyone who does get such a gift, present, reward for the pains of labor. And who knows, maybe my DH will surprise me. But I'm certainly not going to ask or expect one.
I just want a healthy, non-colicky baby who sleeps and eats well.
