2nd Anniversary ...need some help ladies!!?

Question

cant get any answers in Marriage sorry!! I know you ladies can help!!

hi all..

my hubby and I will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary on the 2nd. I am looking for some nice ideas for us to do (and as cheap as possible as we have a new baby and I am on maternity leave, and therefore remarkably poor..lol..). Last year (so our 1st anniversary) I was pregnant and we were rather limited on what we could do as I was utterly exhaused all the time. Nevertheless, we did go to the dinner theater and get a hotel room at the hotel we stayed at after our wedding, but I crashed as soon as we got to the room (sorry dear). What can I do this year for him. he works very hard so I can still be at home, is fantastic with our son and is an all around great guy!! We will also have the baby with us as MIL is not allowed to take him (long story short, she's nuts and cant be trusted)

Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Thanks!

Answer 1

What you did last year sounds good... Is that too expensive? What I normally do for anniversaries (since we live too far from anyone who would babysit) is just make his favourite and difficult foods, have some champagne, hire a movie that HE likes ( normally action ... lol) and then use scented massage oils and we just do long massages for each other and then extremely drawn out foreplay and s*x. Its very cheap hehe and it ends up being a great night having not even left the house. If you have a babysitter and a young baby then yes you should totally take advantage of that : ) But if you are trying to keep it stingy, even being at home can be very special, especially when you ad some candles

Answer 2

Hey....kinda in the same boat as you, with the exception of my MIL...sorry about that! Is there anyone (maybe another mom or friend) that would be able to take your son? We enjoy spending time together as a family very much but there's nothing like going on a date like when you were childless.

In the event that your little monkey has to go along...what about a nice park with a playground, shady trees, and a picnic? Camping trip? Get in touch with his 'love language'........if he's more physical maybe a nice massage before bed....if he likes gifts then a computer or guitar magazine with a blizzard to enjoy it with....if quality time is how he feels loved then I'm sure spending time with you and your son will be special for him.

Another idea I just thought of is what about taking someone along with you that is close to your son that you trust enough to play with him on the playground but you could still keep an eye on? Then you and hubby get some time alone, but can still watch your son.

Good luck.....stay strong!!! The little guy needs you! Both!  

Answer 3

I think the second year is cotton.  It sounds corney but lastyear i got high threadcount sheets, lol, i loved them.

If you want to do something sweet or romantic, you can involve the baby for sure.  Just cook him something special, his favorite dinner, have the house nice and clean, dress your best and let him know how wonderful he is.  You can make him a coupon book of favors you can do for him...like rub his feet, neck, back, saucey things if you prefer! lol anything will work!  

Answer 4

After we had our first baby, we had very little money for a sitter and night out, so we ordered from our favorite restaurant and had a picnic on the floor with candles, flowers, etc.  

Have fun :)
