Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
Push present should be changed to "honoring the baby present."
B/c a push present does sound extremely silly.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I asked for one. I got one. My DH did not even blink. He got it happily. I'm using it to post on this thread. I have no issues with it and neither did he except for the fact that I did not push.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I didn't ask for nor did I expect a gift for being pregnant...however my DH said he felt like I had been through a lot with being pregnant and wanted to get me something special for the birth of our child. He got me a digital SLR which I think was a awesome and practical gift. It's something we'd probably end up buying anyway eventually. He was also going to get my a piece of jewelry but decided that he wanted to wait until the baby is born for that--so that will be a mothers day present.
I think it was really sweet of him to want to do this for me...he also picked up some really cute NB onesies that say mommy loves me, daddy loves me...etc.

I've circled a few key items in the Tiffany's catolog that I think would be a great "way to carry that baby for 9 months and then push it out your who-ha" present

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... 
Exactly what I'm thinking!
Though I did hint it would be nice to be taken to a show for one last night out.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
Honestly, my DH deserves a present this time around with how I've been, lol!!
I hate the term push present...and I told him I didn't want a thing when I had johnny...I just wanted my baby!!
He brought fresh flowers to the hospital for me and wrote me out the sweetest card that I will have forever. I would have hated if he wasted a lot of money on something other than that stuff...we just don't have a lot and it would be a waste.

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I wanted one for DS and will likely get one for  . I do hate the term push present, but like the idea of something meaningfl to celebrate the new addition to your family.
DH gave me this Lladro of parents with a new baby boy when I had  and I look at it everyday and think that it really is a celebration of becoming parents.

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

Re: Let's bring up the good ol push present conversation...
I got a gift after the baby was born. Call it whatever you want. It only has to have meaning to me anyway. It certainly did not hurt anyone else that DH bought me something. I'm not sure why some people want mother's jewelry but for any other occasion than for one in which someone might call it a push present.
