The Husband and I are getting aged, much like a certain present I got for him recently. Since he likes to have a well-stocked likker cabinet, I added to the selection. (He can handle it straight, but I need mine to be disguised as a margarita.) Plus, some other fine selections to be enjoyed with a few sips o' tequila.
I've officially given up on trying to surprise The Husband with gifts. Most of the stuff he likes is either very expensive, very technical, or both. ("What was the model of the new computer you wanted? Just wondering.") So I ask. It sucks -- I used to be really good at nailing down gifts people actually want -- but I guess it's all part of the humbling process that is life.
He, on the other hand, finds something for me that's almost always right on. (I say "almost" only because he had a learning curve.) We're trying to decide what I'll be reading when I'm in the hospital with TwoBoo. I thought about the book series on which HBO's "TrueBlood" is based, because I'm enjoying the tv show. But when I mentioned it to LK in an email, we both realized, um, it's kinda twisted to read a vampire novel while you're breastfeeding. So maybe not that one.

I've ordered new books for your hospital stay. You'll be all right. Anyway, TwoBoo is definitely gonna be a White Court vamp. :-)
I say thrills are thrills and if you are entertained that is all that matters.
Guys are easy to give gifts to. Even if you do ask them what they want they may forget you ever asked and be surprised.
Your husband is way ahead as it is really important to give the right gift to a woman because she can make your life miserable if you get it wrong.
I see you are doing well. Sending you happy thoughts.

you're assuming you'll have the time and/or brain capacity to read in the hospital????? SLEEP! And send that baby off to the nursery as oftent as possible, esp at night! Girl - what else is up wit choo?
You can read and breastfeed at the same time. That baby isn't going to let you sleep anyway. Mine never went to sleep unless it was time for some &^%$ nurse to listen to their heart with a cold stethoscope. (I learned to ask them to come back a little later) Vampire novels are just fine.... might as well enjoy the referenced similarities. I loved the Harry Dresden reference- white court vampires.... rofl
