He has NO time to shop for Christmas and I have NO clue what to tell him to get for me!! I can't give him an idea if I can't think of anything I want!
Any ideas?
Mommy stuff perhaps?
Re: Poor DH...
This was me last christmas, I couldn't think of anything! I had such baby brain.
Tommy last year got me a pajama gram. They're a little pricing, but a nice comfy pj set for the weeks leading up to birth, in the hospital and the weeks at home are really great. The nice thing is they have maternity sets!

I also thought comfy, easy to pull on shoes where a god send (I have these, really comfy http://tinyurl.com/2jbewv )
HTH!
If you don't already have it, what about TIVO or DVR?
We're a little behind, technology wise so we just got it in Sept. We DVR a lot now since Mr Pissy Pants doesn't allow us to watch TV until he goes to bed at night. I'm so glad we have it!
I got a prenatal massage for a friend of mine and she said it is the most relaxing thing ever. She really enjoyed it.
H got me a Sirius reciever two years ago and now I can't live without it. They have pretty much anything you could ever want to hear and only have commercials on the talk channels.
I also love the DVR and a good massage. Other things you might like if you were me: jewelry, cookbooks, a stand mixer, slippers, stuff from the Body Shop, art supplies....uhm...that's all I've got.
- pre-natal massage at River Ridge or St. Anns
- new sketchers (slip on shoes)
- the humidifier off my baby registry that I can use till they come to help with bloody noses
- my diaper bag (I told him it's like buying me a purse)
- Maternity pajamas (I sent him specific ones I likes)
- Maternity tops (ditto above)
He really doesn't have any time off until after grades are submitted on the 27th. He has no teaching starting today, but a couple of exams next week, and piles and piles of papers, projects and tests to finish grading. I convinced him that if he went shopping today, there'd be less people out, and he could get back to grading easier.
LOL --- 5.5 hours later, he's still gone. He says that everyone in the Columbus area apparently took the day off and went straight to Polaris/Lewis Center. But he'll have all weekend and next week grade now, before we head to Michigan.
Good news is that we thought of a lot of things between tips from this post and brainstorming amongst ourselves. He said he's getting all he needs.
