For the Expectant Papa

[akraus2015]

This is going to be a post and run for now, but I'm wondering if any of you have plans to get your DH or SO a Father's Day gift. If this will be their first child, are you doing something special? Share your ideas!!

H has been feeling awkward drinking alone so he's basically not been drinking since the BFP. I plan to get him a nice pricy beer he likes on Father's day and making him drink it.

I don't plan to do anything. Maybe I could get him a beer or something..

Yeah I don't pan to do anything - if we were further along maybe but I'm still too nervous about if it's viable and I'd hate yo do something cutesy and then gave that be a sad reminder later

He's getting a knife sharpener (his request). I usually also cook him a nice dinner, whatever he wants. This year though, we're going to the beach for a few days with his parents, and we'll be on our way there that day.

Nothing special for this newest proto-LO.

DH's first father's day of any sort was a couple weeks after LO was born, and his present was LO/being a father ;-) Last year I started a notebook that I'm going to update every year with stories/pictures about LO and now that he's talking somewhat coherently, a little questionnaire about daddy.

I was pregnant for my "first" mother's day - but we didn't count that one either.

I pointed out that he would be a father on Father's Day this year, and he was all, "yeah I don't think it works like that." I will probably get a card and write all sorts of sappy stuff in it.

ETA: I think it does work like that, but I think he's scared to make a big deal, thus I'll just get a card.

I purchased a dad shirt and a book for him to read to the baby called When Daddies Don't Grow Up

I got him a card a while back that says "congratulations, you made a human." I was going to give this to him once we found out, but we found out while out of town and my excitement ruined any ability to remain calm and do cutesy things like that. So I'll probably just give him the card on Father's Day instead.

Love the card! Too cute!

I am getting him a bunch of pricey snacks, possibly a beverage or two. You really can't go wrong with food.
