I don't know if this will sound rude or not, but I'll put it how I'm thinking it. Don't do anything or give her anything that is in regards to the baby. For Christmas and my birthday, with both pregnancies, my husband's family and my family just got stuff for the baby, for me. I was really upset by that. I didn't get a single thing that I "personally" needed...not even maternity clothes. Just stuff for the baby. Maybe I was being selfish but I thought that was what a baby shower was for. I just had my second little boy so I already had everything I needed for this little guy. So that is my suggestion...something specifically for her!! I saw a suggestion before mine to get her a gift certificate for a spa visit. That is exactly what I would want being 8 months pregnant!!! I'm really sorry if how I worded this came off wrong, I didn't mean for it to. Good luck and Congrats on becoming a grandmother!

The spa ideas are nice but I think a small surprise party for her that's all about her would be fun. Another idea for gifts would be to get her scrap booking materials. You could even start it off as have everyone invited make her a page with their fave pics of them with her or memories and then she has a reminder/memory of her life pre-motherhood and can continue her scrap booking memories with the remainder of her pregnancy the birth and so on. if she has other children you could also have them create a page for her or even give her a "coupon" book to offer your grand parenting services for taking the baby for an afternoon, overnight, help her with laundry, cook a meal, etc other things that she may feel overwhelmed with during the first year of the baby. Good luck to you both.

I totally agree with everyone else has said about the SPA treatment or going to a salon (you could do it together!)
I have bought my mom spa and salon treatments every year on Mothers Day so I was expecting that from SOMEONE (husband ahem) for Mothers day this year... and didn't get it.
It sure would have been nice though. I bet she'd freak out and your gift would be the BEST gift :-P

Options:
Set her up for a prenatal massage.
A prenatal massage consists of specialized techniques of Swedish massage and specific consideration for the comfort of the mother.
The body and baby respond in kind when massage therapy is performed. Several studies in the research community have been performed regarding pregnancy and massage. It has been noted that massage therapy can reduce cortisol levels, back and leg pain, obstetric complications, and most notably premature birth rates. A study also found foot massage was significant in stimulating fetal activity following the session. Massage therapy was also noted to reduce labor pain.

my mother in law sent me for a day at the spa,,i would check with the dr before any massage that far along. also for me personally the facial was a horrible choice. i was preggo with twins,,gained 70# and had a hard time breathing as it was, with the steam and heat in my face, i almost passed out. The pedicure was THE BEST. i hadnt seen my feet in months and was nice to know they were still there. i could see the "flicker" of color when i walked.

Ok, my first idea was also a spa or massage. But my second idea was to set up a dinner/ night out with just her husband. That kind of romantic relaxing thing is hard to come by once hte baby is here

You could take her for a day at the spa. A relaxing day spent together will be a nice memory and also will give her some much deserved pampering. I'm 8 months along also, and I would love some time at the spa!

Give her a day at the spa and then take her to a fabulous restaurant.
I'm 7 months and I would LOVE to be pampered for a day before the little arrival comes. A manicure, pedicure, facial, and prenancy massage OOH LA LA!!!!
Then take her out for her favorite food... steak, seafood, whatever.

certainly i think of your overracting. The "incidents" you describe are actually not that vast of a deal. Its general for a grandmother to wake the grandchild up an hour early so as that they could spend it sluggish with it -- huge deal if she gets up early at some point. And the bottle sounds like an harmless mistake, or perhaps not so harmless yet somewhat no real injury became into finished. The birthday party -- properly you're able to desire to've known greater useful than to bypass away it in her palms. you are able to desire to be the bigger individual and basically chew your lip. And the clarification at the back of it fairly is you are able to desire to set an occasion on your little ones on a thank you to handle confusing human beings -- there are strategies of coping with a number of those human beings different than shutting them out. attempt to placed on your adulthood pants and think of of the right thank you to be the bigger individual, for the sake of your husband and you childrenr. MAKE PEACE not conflict IN each and everything YOU DO. congrats on the child too

The spa and prenatal massage are all good ideas but one gift I got I adored more than anything else was a necklace with my daughter's birthstone on it. She was born in June so I got a silver chain with a single pearl pendant on it. It goes with everything so I wear it everyday and think of my daughter.
