Actually you got me thinking. I know I will be getting DH some dvd's for Christmas. Maybe just veging out all day watching dvd's in our PJ's sounds great. I can always cook a baked chicken for our lunch anyway. We are not that big on restaurants anyway. Hmm thanks got me thinking now!
PUppies - me and my DH aren't travelling anywhere this Xmas and have decided to stay home together with the dogs and just relax..... we are actually looking forward to the fuss-free christmas!!! And i'll be heavily pregnant also so don't want to be travelling far in the heat anyway.
Stay home, relax and make the most of it before bubs comes!!!
I think it's worked out well for you hun. I was nearly 8 months pg at Christmas time with DS1 and I would have much preferred a quite Christmas with my DH. Christmas is usually hot and of course you get tired so easily, so it's great to be somewhere where there are no expectations on you. If you want to rest you can, if you want to have a cool shower or bath you can. Plus, this is the last time for a very long time that you will have an "adult" christmas - ie with the focus on you as a couple rather than it being all about the kids. I don't think it matters what you do, just have a lovely "couple time" on the day and enjoy it.
I must admit I am actually forward to it now. We will go over to the in laws place in the morning to do pressies as they live so close. And then we will head home and they will go off to the family thing. I don't think I will put the Christmas tree up this year. I said to DH its just too hard bending down and putting it together and I don't want to hassle him as I have been keeping him busy with getting the house painting finished etc. Also the thought of having to put it down again so soon after CS birth I just don't think its practical. Do you think that makes sense?
Totally. It won't matter if you don't have a tree this year. And next year will be such a special Christmas for you with a nearly 1 yo. You'll no doubt go all out then!
We put our christmas tree up this year!! But only because we haven't been able to do it for the last 2 years as we have always been away at Chrissy time!
I'm loving having our tree up this year!
Like MantaRay said - enjoy this chrissy as it will be your last "adult" chrissy for ages.
well im due on christmas day and if it like my previous 3 pregnancies bub will take its time in arriving , so we wont be doing anything much. i doubt we will even be having a christmas lunch or dinner which really sucks as i look forward to it every year.i think dh wil probably just go by takeaway chicken and the kids can make some little goodies.
