So I am generally someone who rolls my eyes at the idea of a "push present" (maybe it's the name)...but after how annoying this pregnancy has been, I will definitely be indulging in something when the baby arrives (aside from alcohol and carbs). I'm not going to bother hinting around with H, I'll just pick it out myself? What would be on your wish list?

I'm currently perusing jewelry online...maybe a tennis bracelet, or something classic I will wear for a long time.

I pick out my own big gifts, too. Ha.
Last time my birthday was the week of my due date. I bought myself a Longchamp tote to use to carry my pump to and from work without feeling like a schlubby new mom, and "splurged" on a newborn photographer. This time I'm booking the same newborn photographer. Money is a bit tight so although I'd love to get some kind of birth stone / mom jewelry for Christmas, I might wait on that til next year.

I have a stackable birth stone ring for DS, so I'd like another one to go with it for this baby. DH actually already bought it for me for our anniversary, but it was like 3 sizes too small so I made him return it because of that plus there's no guarantee that the baby will actually be born in November. The thought was sweet though lol.

I would like birthstone stacking rings with both DS's birthstones.

Well, since DH just got a bonus and bought himself a watch, I told him he damn well better get me a 'push present' even though I also cringe at the name and really, having money in a bank account is a gift to me, ha!
Anyway, I was thinking of a birth stone ring possibly, what is November?

This reminded me...I definitely want to get a new diaper bag. Last time around I bought this unisex messenger bag so H could carry it too, and I was not a big fan. I want something that doesn't scream "diaper bag". Maybe the Rebecca Minkoff one.

Right around the :40 mark. I'll just write myself a big check, with "Baby production" in the memo line.

I'm not one for jewelry. I would like a new wardrobe, but that may need to wait a bit after baby. Or maybe a kid free, do nothing, vacation.
I'm a girl of simple wants.

I want a Coach wristlet that I'm going to wind up buying for myself anyway so it's a good gift for H to get me LOL I'm sure he will also get me a Pandora charm as he got me a Pandora bracelet for DD.

I will likely get myself another Stella and dot necklace with baby's birthday inscribed on it. I already have one with ds' birthday and I only take it off to shower. It's easily my favorite piece of jewelry other than my engagement ring.
We will have to upgrade DH's car some time after baby is born (he has a 2 door civic ... I didn't think ahead well when I was 21 years old and got it lol). So that will be a delayed push present. We upgraded the car I drive to a small suv around 2 years ago and it was amazing.

I am with you on the annoying pregnancy deserving a reward!
I think I will set aside a chunk of money to redo my wardrobe once I am at a suitable/desirable weight. As long as I am able, I intend to breastfeed for 12-14 months again. That limits the options for tops but I figure I can buy some that are BF friendly and then go out again when I am done and buy more. I really love the clothes at Loft Outlet and could spend a pretty penny there.

We plan to have a third so I won't get a push present until we're done. And when that's the case I was a custom made rung that matches my wedding band but with birthstones instead of diamonds. I'll stack it on the other side of my engagement ring. Ignore my swollen fingers. We just did a hiking field trip so I'm all gross and swollen now. And my nails need to be filed down. My goodness.

Give me all the push presents! I don't care what theyre called, I'll take a gift. As I stated before, I'm a brat lol
H gives me a present after each boy. Sometimes it's fancy, sometimes it's just a sweet gesture. So I don't know what he's getting me this time around. I love surprises.
For ds3 he got me Don Perignon. We plan on drinking it after ds5 since he is our last.
(Wow, it's really strange writing ds5...)

With DS, H had flowers delivered to the hospital room which was sweet if not a little awkward when packing up and heading home. I kind of hope he does it again with this one but who knows.

With DS, even though I told H I wanted a present before hand AND I gave him a card with a gift certificate for a massage in it for himself after delivery he didn't get me anything. He said he felt bad when I gave him the card but apparently not bad enough because although he left the hospital several times during my stay he never came back with anything 😡(ps my love language is presents and he knows this!)
So this time I specifically stated that I wanted birth stones to go on a necklace he got me for my first Mother's Day- obviously we have to wait for baby to be born to know what birth stone to get but I'll be disappointed if he doesn't follow through.

When I was in the hospital with DD, H and MIL picked out a amethyst stud earring and necklace set. They have good taste, so I am fine letting them pick out a gift this time, too!

I'm not so secretly hoping for an October baby because opal and tourmaline are two of my fave stones.
