Do you plan on going out? DDing for you SO? Or do you plan on a relaxing night in?
-
I think we'll have a relaxing night in! It's possible that we'll invite friends over/go to friends' house, but either way I think it'll be low key. I vow to drink sparkling grape juice out of a champagne glass and have lots of delicious food for snacking!
-
If this week is anything to go by, I'll be incapable of staying up until midnight!!
-
Hubby's cousins just bought a new house in Austin, TX so we're thinking about driving down there to visit them! We're still debating about when to announce to our family, but I know the cousins will know something's up when I turn down wine and champagne!
-
We haven't even discussed it yet, but I suspect getting together with friends and/or staying in. I'm not against a couple of sips of champagne, but midnight seems awfully late to me!
-
No idea. I am sure I will end up going to a friends house or something and being the DD for DH.
-
We usually party party on NYE. Last night at dinner w/GFs, one girl said to me "I know what you're doing NYE!" and another said "what?" and she said "NOTHING." wah! I'm kinda sad, but at the same time, I know I don't have the energy or stamina to do anything much.

We are spending the weekend in Asheville, NC with friends. I am sure we will just go out to dinner and then probably go out for a bit. I will enjoy my glasses of water while everyone else has cocktails
-
Hopefully I'll be timing contractions..
LO is due a few days after New Years. -
We're planning to go out to our favourite restaurant in our town where they do an eight course tasting menu that starts at 9 p.m. and goes until about 1 a.m. Haven't decided if it will be just DH and me or if we'll invite others to come along as well.
-
Probably be staying in. We are traveling for Christmas, then I have a work trip so DH gets home on the 29th and me on the 30th, so I think I'll be exhausted. Like others are saying, the idea of staying up until midnight is daunting, too!
We are going out for brunch on New Year's Day, though! No mimosas for me but we'll get to tell the couple we are going with-- I'll be about 10 weeks then so I feel ok with it. -
@hergreenapples: Ooh! I like this idea! Maybe I can propose something like this to DH and see what he thinks. I know he still wants to go "out" till midnight somewhere...
-
@oliviaoblivia: Hope so for you too!
-
We're going to a friend's party, so I'll be DDing for Hubs. I may be DDing for a couple other friends too if they end up going. I'm just hoping Hubs doesn't drink too much - taking care of drunks is not my idea of fun!
-
Not sure! Maybe invite a few people over and watch the countdown on TV. Then if I fall asleep it's no big deal!
-
@Adira: DH went out to a party last night and came home pretty drunk, and is going to a party with an open bar that we go to every year and everyone gets very drunk. I already told him I'm not taking care of him! Taking care of drunks when you are drunk too, that's fine. Sober and pregnant, not cool.
-
@Foodnerd81: I hear you! Every year Hubs and I host a big Halloween Party, so we did the same this year too. Hubs got wicked drunk and there I was, sober and pregnant and ANNOYED. I didn't really take care of him, but I did feel obligated to make sure he survived the night, haha. I told him he'd better not drink that much at NYE because I wasn't dealing with it again!
-
Good question! I've been thinking about this. I think I'll see if DH wants to get reservations at a nice restaurant and then probably just come home and relax here. I've gone to several happy hours, etc. with our usual group, and honestly, I just don't have as much fun as I did pre-pregnancy because I'm always tired and annoyed that I'm the only one who can't drink. So, that leads me to believe that the combination of going out and being up past my 9:30 bedtime would make me a buzzkill!
-
We're definitely having a relaxing night in. Neither DH or I really like typical NYE activities, I'm guessing I'll bake something yummy and we'll watch movies. I wouldn't be surprised if I fell asleep on the couch well before midnight, haha.
-
I like the idea for the restaurant thing! I'm going to talk to DH about it today!
-
No idea, perhaps the hospital if I go early. I'll be 39 weeks. I still have a c-section scheduled that day in case the baby flips breech again.
