[quote=Anonymous]OP ignore the vitriol on this thread. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and you are right. This is a very special time in your relationship with your husband. Celebrating the various holidays as you mark off the calendar to your due date is part of the joy in life. Think about what you want to do this year, how you would like to celebrate. Find a way to directly and kindly tell DH what that is. It will give him the tools to start moving in the direction himself of acknowledging this changing time in your lives. After a few disappointing years with regard to birthdays and holidays I started a mix of buying my own gifts and presenting them to DH to give to me in front of our child and sending him links/discussing wish list ideas. Ya know what? About three years into that, he started to get the ball rolling on his own. Now it’s the best of both worlds for me. He asks if there is anything special I would like, or plans I want to make (him to make) and he often does something that is 100% his idea as well. He just wasn’t raised to do a good job being aware of other people’s needs or how to think of gifts etc...but he wants me to be happy. Now we both are. AND I help him remember to do something for his own mother/come up with gifts that I think she’ll like etc...something he never did before our relationship.[/quote]
