These small gestures go a long way (typically) with a wife. We spent a lot of money on fertility, but you can bet I found a way to scrounge up a couple hundred as a gesture to remind her much I loved her, and how appreciative I am of what she went through mentally and physically to have this baby.
I said it earlier, but dont feel an ounce of guilt buying your gal a small gift after all of this.

X2. Buy her something small and special and celebrate the greatness.

Originally posted by nursejenn View PostActually? Nope, the husband and I do not do gifts for each other at prescribed or set holidays. We don't do christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. No gifts for any of them. We've been married 19 1/2 years and just never saw the need for that. Our kids, yes...
That’s fine, I won’t try to convince you to start. And actually we haven’t gotten Christmas or BD gifts for each other for the past couple years due to all this. But I still view it like saying “I love you”. She already knows it, but it would suck to never hear it again.

IMO, a trinket of a couple/few hundred dollars or even thousand of dollars "to say I love you", devalues the true meaning of love. I promise you that every single day when I come home from work to my hubby, I'm beyond thankful that I ended up with him because I could not have asked for a better husband, father, best friend, etc and he FAR exceeds my wildest expectations. Putting a vakue on that is impossible and I wouldn't ever want him to try by buying something to do so.

Get her a spray bottle, sitz bath supplies, some lidocaine or dermaplast, ice packs, maxi pads, and some over the counter pain killers. That should just about do it.
Get something with the childs birth stone. She would love it!

My wife has everything she wants for the most part. She likes fresh flowers and fancy candles. I went and got her a couple of nice candles made by Lafco and had a family member put some flower arrangement in the house the day before we got home. That way the house looked nice and smelled nice which made her feel better about having visitors. Simple, easy, unexpected.

I got mine wine. And flowers. No need to go crazy on the gift. I learned that the thing she appreciated more than any gifts was me being up syringe feeding our baby because she wouldn’t eat normally. All feedings were tough for her, and the simple act of squirting that formula and letting her rest gave her a break. For a new mom, any rest is the most precious thing thing you can give her. You will both be dog tired, I can almost guarantee it.
