valentine's day plans

[LaBellaVida]

What are you planning to do for valentine's day this year?  
Are you getting your SO a gift?  If so, what?  
Are you hoping to receive anything?  If so,  what do you want? 

[rodiesmum]

It is DD2s check up and my postpartum check. Still dnt know if therell be something special in storw for me c/o DH and DD#1. Hahaha but um assuming flowers and cute pastries again. That's what DH has been giving me since our first valentine.

As for a gift for him? Not really a valentine gift but im supposed to buy him a pair of sneakwrs so maybe ill tell him that's a valentine gift. Lol

If ud ask me if im hopinh fpr anyghing? Im hoping for a small purse. I just doubt ill get it haha

[luckypenny]

We probably won't do anything. It's a Saturday so resturants will be crazy and as of now we don't have a babysitter. I'm not bringing 2 kids out. I'm sure DH will cook a nice dinner or there is always Chinese take-out!

I will get him a card and maybe some jerky since he doesn't like sweets.

I want chocolate covered strawberries! And champagne! Yum!

[maebb]

I'm making something like this:


No plans other than that so far.

[LaBellaVida]

We are going to file taxes. Romantic? After 11 years I'd say so.
We normally don't do anything for valentine's. This year I might put something together for him. He is a junk food addict, so it'll be a bunch of his favorite junk.
Maybe I'll leave it on his desk at work so it's not herein the house where I'm tempted.

I'm not hoping for anything. I'm not really expecting anything either.

We don't do gifts but we'll go out to eat. I'm hoping I can get my mom to watch DS. It'll be the first time I've left him (he'll be 5 weeks old) and I'm a little nervous but I guess I need to get used to it.

[laceysbryan]

We're not doing anything on the 14th, but my ILs are going to come over and watch LO on the 12th because I bought tickets for 50 Shades of Grey... I guess that's probably DH's gift to me - just sitting through the movie. Maybe he'll get a BJ out of it.

[megan81112]

We aren't doing anything. Our wedding anniversary is the following weekend. I'd rather celebrate the fact that he survived a year of marriage.

[raven]

His sister and BIL are driving from Colorado to visit us and the LO so I'm not sure what's going on. I usually cook him dinner and the only dessert (he doesn't like sweets ) he will eat, creme Brule.
I want to get him a new pair of basketball shorts from Duke university. He loves those and just had a pair fall apart on him.
I will probably be receiving a bead for my Pandora bracelet.

[grommom]

No plans this year, I think dh knows better since he's a bit of a prankster and one year got me a hideous mirror with a dragon and other dungeons and dragons looking crap on it. I think it also holds a candle. It made me cry. I believe that's when I was pregnant with ds 1,.and dh had been mentioning a ring he saw at Costco (but that's something he'd never buy without me seeing first) anyway he didn't mean to but he got my hopes up. I ended up ordering myself a ring with ds' birthstone. I was due in the middle of the month so I was fairly sure I was right. This baby was due on the 28th so I haven't looked at rings and I'm glad I waited because I probably would have been wrong!
Otherwise I'm thinking we can do almond champagne and crab legs, with tons of butter!

[dashook]

We don't normally do very much, partially because DH's birthday is only a week after V-Day, and partially because we're not big on gifts for each other. Last year I cooked a nice dinner at home. But this year my mom is coming up to visit for the long weekend, so she is insisting that we go out for a date while she babysits. She was pushing for us to go into Boston for dinner and a movie but I think we are going to stick to just dinner and keep it local since it'll be the first time we're leaving him alone (he'll be 5 weeks).

As for gifts, I told him I'll probably bake him something. I also bought myself a little present yesterday--a Kindle Fire (on sale!) Living on the wild side over here!

[tomorrowisanotherday]

We will be going out for the first time by ourselves, my mom and dad are going to babysit C! (He will be 4 weeks.) Probably just dinner close by, but I am excited I miss us time, and I totally want to go out and have a drink.

I will be making him his favorite cupcakes, (he buys himself everything he wants), and if I get something I will be pleasantly surprised!

[grumpycat88]

No plans. DH does want to go get our favorite BBQ with the baby so we shall see. I picked up a card for DH and may get some of his favorite candy. I would love something with the dictator's birthstone, but I'm not going to get my hopes up!

[Jellypepper]

LO is going to be only 2 weeks old on valentines day so I'm not quite ready to have someone else watch her yet. We'll probably to carry out and a glass of wine after the kids are in bed.

As far as gifts I think we are actually going to do a couple home improvements instead of spending $$$ on gifts. One of our garage doors is on it's last leg and the other is busted so it's time to spend money on that. Being a grown up is so lame sometimes.

[heidih21]

My husband is horrible at planning anything. My guess is he doesn't even know valentine's is on saturday! So with that we will do nothing unless I plan it. If I remind him it's valentine's he will go out Saturday after work, usually to Albertsons (grocery store) and get a dozen pink roses, a box of chocolates and a card. If we do go out Little Man will probably come with us.
After observing my parents have no idea how to care for a newborn! (24 years and my mom has forgotten EVERYTHING about babies and she married my dad when I was 3 so he's never been around babies). Everyone else I'm sure will be going out as well.

[pips09]

What are you planning to do for valentine's day this year? Nothing.
Are you getting your SO a gift? If so, what? Nothing.
Are you hoping to receive anything? If so, what do you want? Nothing.

We are just so romantic! We usually order in and get some chocolate covered strawberries or something like that. I don't know if we'll even do that this year.

[kellimark]

I usually get flowers and I got him a cd that he's been wanting. ( he likes to buy CDs still. We are old lol.) I'll also make a chocolate cake we really like.
Other than that nothing. We keep things low key.

[babyw15]

I bought a picture frame at the craft store that is wooden and I am painting it white and putting H's foot prints on it (in the shape of a heart) with the help of my MIL for Nto put on his desk at work.  I can't wait to give it to him!  Also we are thinking about leaving H with MIL so we can have small date night. As far as what I want, I am not sure. A charm for my pandora bracelet would be awesome. But I am not asking for anything from N if he gets me something cool!

I got N a card from me and a card from H. Also some Jerky since he doesn't like chocolate.  They had some valentines jerky gifts at Target!

[megpie5]

We don't usually celebrate either since our anniversary is the week before. I'll probably get him something cute from Fiona and make a special dinner. I would never expect anything in return, but he has gotten me flowers and a card most years.

[ladyprof]

We have Friday reservations at The Melting Pot which is where we had our first date. Yay grandparent childcare.

We decided to get each other a new vacuum cleaner - how romantic!

[littleb92]

Last night when I asked DH what he was doing for me for V-Day, he said, what are you doing for me? WTF really? Not that I expected anything, but why would you think I have time to get you a gift/do anything special for you. Maternity leave is not vacation, it is hard work!

[hazelnut]

Nothing exciting here. My husband hates Valentine's Day, so I'll probably get him a little something (very little, like a card and some candy ), but my birthday was January 27 and his was February 5, so between that and the holidays we're pretty much gifted out. We're going to spend the evening with my sister, her husband and their baby. My sister and I are making the girls matching tutus and are going to take the girls' pictures together. Neither of us like Valentine's day much, but at this point we're finding any excuse to dress them up (in matching oufits, of course) and take pictures while they're both so little.

[lexishay]

SO has been off work since lo was born not for paternity leave but because his work was remodeling and they decided Valentine's Day was a good day to make everyone come back.

I preordered him the elder scrolls that he's been waiting on for the last year.

I would like to get a little something since he forgot last year. I don't care what it is just something

[christeng87]

I highly doubt we will do anything on Saturday, especially because we have DH's son this weekend. He might get me flowers but I don't know that I will get him anything! We usually don't make a big deal out of it.

[bubbles923]

My parents had offered to watch our son while my husband and I go out to dinner awhile back. But our kiddo is still in the hospital and I rather wait to do something like that when he has been out for a few weeks.

I got my husband a card as well as some leather cleaner for the leather bag I got him at Christmas.

I hope for some sex. It'll be just a little over six weeks then and hopefully my period will be done.

Which elder scrolls? I'm a big fan of the entire series (and a big nerd).

[cherryfive]

We don't have anything planned as of yet... I'm making a card from Evie for DH with her footprints in the shape of a heart. I have no idea if DH is planning on giving me anything from DD and I'm not hoping for anything in particular, just something at all.

[josephssweetie]

We exchange cards and I get him some fancy chocolates (his favorite). That's about it. But this year, I did hint that I would like a DQ ice cream cake :-)

[BabyStandish]

No gifts this year. DH's dad and step mom offered to come over and watch LO if we wanted to go out to dinner. I think we are going to take them up on it. LO will be 5 weeks and I know I'll be nervous leaving him, but it'll be nice to go out for a couple hours.
