Whole day off with my husband - having our baby next week. What should we do?

[babyvisitors]

I’ve woken up with more energy than usual after a fairly decent night sleep. We can’t stay around home today as we have decorators finishing off and there’s lots of dust and mess.
Want to do something nice - what would you suggest? 😀 I thought about going on a walk but then again we will be easily able to do that with baby, would like to do something that will be more difficult for a while with a baby in tow

Meal and cinema

Hotel for sexy times

Spa and or cinema.

Theatre? Live music of some kind? Go out for a leisurely lunch?

Spa day with lunch 😊 or Xmas shopping day with lunch.

Get up.
pick up your handbag.
walk out of the house.

hold that thought - you won’t do it that quickly for a while 😊

have a lovely night.

Lunch and cinema

She's having a baby next week.
Personally I was a whale at this point and sex was in no way sexy.

I'd say go to the cinema and go for a nice meal.

Lovely relaxed meal

YY to cinema and meal.

I’d also try and squeeze in a hair cut - no reason why you can’t do this and leave the baby with DH, but I really didn’t feel up to it emotionally for a lot longer than I was expecting.

DH and I had this the day before my C-section with my first, nobody else knew the date (or that I was having a C-section) so it was a special secret day. We went out to lunch, to a couple of favourite places in our local area, then to the cinema and then out to dinner! Pure decadence and pleasing ourselves. We still talk about it fondly 10+ years later 😂

Walk - boring! You’re not 70 hahahaha
Agree with PP. Nice meal out, theatre/cinema/museum/ whatever you both enjoy.

Yes defo a nice meal and a fun activity like cinema or an escape room. But you can’t appreciate it in reverse, if you see what I mean, just do something that you enjoy and if a walk is it, just do it!

Sexy times doesn't have to mean sexual intercourse. Just intimate time together. Something you will be short on for sure.

Something practical- shopping for a few Xmas presents to get ahead, buying Christmas pjs for the baby 🙈🤣, making sure everything is ready and set up to make life easier. Even a quick trip to M&S for some nice ready meals for the freezer?
And something fun- a nice lunch out, maybe not the cinema if you’re at the point that sitting for hours is painful.

Cinema and meal out.

No but it does mean something sexy, and I was certainly not sexy whenever I was 39+ weeks pregnant. We are all different though!

Sounds like a good time for a massage where your partner helps you to feel positive about your pregnant body.

Another vote for a leisurely lunch and cinema. For me going to the cinema as a couple was a luxury we couldn't afford after kids - if you have to factor in the cost of a babysitter.

so true 😁

Spa day, maybe massage, nice lunch and a long nap.

Shopping, lunch out, cinema, dinner out, bath, good film

Another one for the cinema and lunch or dinner somewhere super nice that don’t allow kids.

That new Cillian Murphy film looks good.

I'd go out in the morning then have a nice lunch then come home and slob and sleep and eat in peace have a long bath etc all the things that I struggled with once the baby arrived
