So Mrs Logic and I are coming up for our first wedding anniversary on Sunday. Tradition suggests a “paper” gift for one year in, so I’ve been looking at maybe some handmade writing paper or similar (plus flowers / chocs etc). Then last night the missus asked if she could give me my anniversary present early… we’re off to a Medics’ Summer Ball at the weekend, so I figured it might be some cufflinks to wear, or a new tie etc. Instead it was a positive pregnancy test 😃 Rather out of the blue, but all the better for it! It’s not unplanned, in the sense that we’ve been busy doing what newly-weds do so we knew it was always possible, but we thought it might take rather more scheduling than this! Still… what a lovely way to celebrate one year of married life with the woman of my dreams. 🙂 (Not told family yet, as we want to wait until it’s 100% confirmed, so to avoid bursting I thought I’d share with my fellow Dopers… my thanks for your indulgence!). ---

Congrats! That means next year, you’ll have a Wee-Logic to bring in to your second year anniversary! I think this means you have to one-up your own gift, though. 🙂 (I mean in addition to the flowers and chocolates, which are mandatory no matter what else you get.) ---

Geez, way to cheap out on the gift there, **Mrs. e-logic**. :rolleyes: Ok, ok, I keed…it’d be hard to come up with a better gift. Congratulations!! Hmmm…“ **Mrs. e-logic** ”…“ **she-logic** ”? Yeah, I like it…that’ll do. 🙂 ---

Congrats! My wife and just I celebrated our first anniversary this past Monday. We had agreed not to get each other any presents except for a card. However my birthday was also this past weekend and since I would be getting presents (Police tickets BTW! Woohoo!) I wanted to get her something too. I couldn’t figure out what to get and since we had agreed not to get anything for each other I didn’t want it to be a conventional gift and figured I’d get something we could both enjoy. So since my wife is a huge potato chip lover I got a combo box of 12 different potato chip flavors from [Route 11](http://www.rt11.com/) . How’s that for an anniversary gift? 🙂 I figured she’d like them. Turns out she loved them! “Yay! Chips!” ---

[QUOTE=AHoosierMama] So now you need to get some oragami paper and fold up a stork for her. [/QUOTE] Hey, that’s a really good idea! 🙂 Thanks for the kind words - it’s taking a while to fully sink in, but I’ve had a huge grin on my face the whole day. ---

What? Nine months of insane food cravings, swollen ankles, repeated vomiting, wildly unpredictable mood swings, and then anywhere up to 48 hours of painful, agonizing labour, and finally a squalling, red-facing, toothless little person who’ll poop in his/her diaper and keep you up all night with crying for ages afterwards? _That’s_ her anniversary gift?!? (I’m kidding. 😉 My deepest congratulations and heartfelt wishes for a happy, healthy mum and baby! _toasts with champagne_) ---
