Something special for Daddy-to-be...

Hi ladies-

My husband has been AMAZING to me during my pregnancy & I want to do something extra special for him! I'm thinking a special gift I can give to him while we are at the hospital. It's hard to surprise him, so it has to be something I can hide in my hospital bag or have my parents bring after we arrive.  Any ideas?!

Thanks Smile

Nothing will be more special to him than you birthing his child....

but maybe something engraved? idk a silver picture frame for his office or a nice watch.  Depends on how much you want to spend and what he likes.

I'm making DH a shutter fly book of all the projects he's done for LO and turning it into a story so he can read it to our little girl as she grows up. I plan on giving it to him at the hospital if its finished in time.

Aw. That is so sweet. Very personal.

The take home outfit is specifically for my husband. He won't be there for the birth so I am going to make sure he sees that we were thinking of him on the big day. I'm also going to to a toe print charm that he can wear on his dogtags once baby's toes are big enough. 




My little miracle.

I LOVE that idea. That is going to be a really great gift for years to come.

My husband is turning into a coffee snob, so I'm getting him a chemex coffee brewer thing (since we will need lots of coffee!!)

I also asked him to add what he needed in his hospital bag (c-section so he will be around a few days) and, always the comedian, he wrote "beer and rubbers" and then explained by "rubbers" he meant boots...in case things get messy (yes, I am so lucky. I know. LOL).

So since this is our first girl I think I might get some cute, girly galoshes and put a beer in each.

LOL! My husband is a huge coffee snob and has been using one of these for the last 6 months to brew our coffee! I am used to it now but in the beginning I thought he was going overboard. : ) It does make the coffee taste way better.

I might make him a shirt that says, " Proud daddy of Noah and....Ellie"

This is our second and he got a shirt that said Proud Daddy with our first.

Thought it might be a cute way to share the baby's name with our family also!

Maybe a coupon for a night out with the guys, my husband would have really appreciated that in the midst of poopy diapers, a crying baby, and an overly hormonal wife.
