Oooh I love going out for brunches so much! Have fun!

jwls84

We have way too much to do!
We have a brunch, but have to go to MIL first. Then we will probably go to the park and then DH is cooking me my Mother's Day dinner. I am making him make lettuce wraps and maybe fish tacos... Not sure what I'll request yet.

Dd is getting baptized. Then we are having a lunch with both sides of our family. It'll be nice to have everyone in one place.

I asked to take a long uninterrupted nap!!!! Or sleep in!!!

I'm sure we'll get together with my family after church (DH's mom lives in new Zealand). When I asked DH what the pile of wrapped boxes were on the table, he told me it was mothers day stuff. He's usually a last minute gift buyer, so I was excited to see that he thought enough about it to get it almost a week in advance

Brooklyn is getting baptized on Mothers Day so were going to have our families over after church. Besides that I'm not sure.

I've been told under no circumstances am I allowed to check the mail this week, so I'm hoping for something pretty for my first Mother's Day

Hanging out as a family! DH is cooking supper and I requested lasagna.

We are going to brunch with my mom and then walking around an outdoor arts Festival. I'm a little scared to take him to a restaurant for the first time!

I saw Tiffany's box come in the mail too!

nlane0723

Idk! I saw a jewelry size boxed wrapped in DH's dresser drawer. I just want to sleep in and drink mimosas.

maganonymous

Hopefully doing a picnic with DH's family...SIL is supposed to be finding a good park to have it at...but I haven't heard anything more about it, which is typical for her. Even if she doesn't get it together, I still think DH, LO, and I might have a picnic somewhere. Since the weather is ACTUALLY starting to get warm her in MN, I would really hate to waste a nice day!

dh and I are going wine tasting on saturday then probably something at his moms house sunday. not sure yet, but I better get to shopping! idk what to buy for my mom, but his mom will get wine from our trip and his grandma will get flowers. I'll probably use 1800flowers.com since they've done great in the past.

DTNZ4Ever

We are going out for tapas with my parents for dinner. I'm sure DH will make breakfast and I'll spend time with the boys.

fish8412

My husband is making brunch and we will go to the lake for a walk. I just want to relax and enjoy the day with LO and my husband.

BTBergstrom

I told my hubby he can make breakfast! Then we are going to pick out a new pair of running shoes...I have been wearing an old pair that I wore all through pregnancy and they are beat down. I think we will get lunch while out with his parents since the running store is near their house

We are celebrating not this weekend but next weekend. My favorite place for brunch is hard to get into normally without a reservation 2 weeks in advance so it is insane on Mother's Day, plus they jack up the price for the same brunch. So we are going next Sunday. Bloody Mary's, mimosas, oh my!

PerkyErky

I will get a card from DH and the boys. Other than that I don't know that anything special will happen, it will just be another Sunday I am guessing.

acdiaz11

We are going to visit my dad (who I haven't seen in 3 years) in rehab. He had a seizure the night after LO was born and has been in the hospital since then. He was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer.

After that I'm really jot sure that we will be up for doing anything to spectacular. Probably just a late lunch/ early dinner at a local restaurant.

I'll be starting out the day decorating 50 cupcakes for DH's grandmas 90th birthday party which is that day (Saturday is out bc I'm in a wedding out of town and won't get home until late). Somehow I got suckered into making cake for 75 people for this party ( @karacakes98‌ - I don't know how you do it!) . Then we will drive 2 hours to his hometown for the party, celebrate his grandma (she's cute) and then drive home and pick up the pups from being boarded. We should get home about 7 or 8 and will probably pick up dinner on the way home. DH's mom passed last year and my mom is on the other side of the country, so I'll call her at some point.

kara0729

I have been informed that Sunday he will need pumped milk for two bottles and that I am getting a mani/pedi and a massage! I can't wait...this is better than my birthday! (Mostly because I neeeeeeeeed this right now in my life)!

This. DH asked what I wanted. I said sleep. He's taking the kids to the playground in the morning so momma can sleep in and enjoy a "hot" cup of coffee instead of the lukewarm crap I have to drink when I'm pulled in two different directions. 

jennybean80

DH made reservations for brunch, and if the weather is okay we'll probably go to the zoo.

sebullows

DH hasn't said anything about it which makes me think he's got me something. We go to church on Sundays and then out to eat with the parent in laws and bro and sis inlaws so I guess we'll do that.

ladyglittersparkles

I have a few things is like to do but DH is seriously avoiding plans and it's starting to upset me. (And no I don't think he has a surprise day planned I promise) I do know he got me a little gift because I saw the charge on our bank acct. (and then I saw the email confirmation and the small package arrived that I told him about but he ignored me) I kind of would like to be surprised but it's not looking good
Dang it!

@addisonsmom22‌ can you put the pic in a plastic baggie so protect it from weather and a small rock so it won't blow away?

I'll do that thank you!

My SIL did that on our GiL's grave site (we saw it when we were In town last summer) and I was like damn why didn't I think about it (I'm sure I was bitter because I had not)

Kewii

I just had to tell my husband he could not get me an electric can opener for Mother's Day.

He's a good man and means well...but not so good in the present department.  I think his back up plan is a massage...I can live with that.

Same here. Maybe we will eat out at lunch. If DH doesn't have to work.

Well, what I want to do apparently doesn't matter. DH's entire family lives within a 45 mile radius with the exception of a few cousins. One of his cousins is coming in from Florida, and MIL planned a dinner pretty much for her for Sunday!! There's a brother and sister they both live in Florida, the girl is the one coming in, but every time either of them come to Texas, it's like a pomp and circumstance that they are here! I understand it's family and all, but I don't feel like we need to put our life on hold just to come out and see you!, especially on Mother's Day!! 

When I asked DH just now what we were going to do, he was like, well, it is Mother's day and I want to go out to my moms. I get that, but it's my FIRST Mother's Day!! He didn't even ask what I would like to do. And, I'm not going to get to see my mom on Mother's Day, I hardly ever do...she's 3.5 hours away! I'm just a little hurt he didn't even ask what I wanted to do! 
Sorry this turned into a vent. I'm just hurt right now...like, I'm in tears!

I'm sorry. Maybe he needs to be reminded that it is now a special day for you. It's been about his mom forever so he just doesn't realize that it has shifted? I hope regardless of what you end up doing that you still have a special day.

TradeMama

Probably spend the day fighting after DH forgets about Mother's Day.

jtenkorang

Probably nothing. My hubby had to work and so does my mom. Hubby's mom past 4 years ago. I bought stuff for my mondo we'll probably go over there after he gets off work.

scrumpfy

I told H I'd like to sleep in and have him watch the girls so I can reorganize my closet. We're having my mom over for brunch and his for dinner. I'm sure he'll get me some sort if gift, we'll see.

@mfarmer0811‌ That sucks. I hope YH does something special for you. We have the same life where ILs are concerned, at least with proximity. My ILs are around the corner and my family is 3 hours away. We always do everything with the ILs because it's convenient. I'm having a harder time than usual dealing with them ATM, so I might take LO and go visit my mom on Sunday if DH doesn't get with the program and do something nice for me. I'll probably make a last minute decision based on whether or not he expects me to go to lunch with his mother...

@CHPhotoMama Yeah, he's usually very sweet and great at this sort of thing. He finally asked me last night what I wanted to do, and when I told him, he was still wanting to go see his cousin, and eat with them! I finally said, I don't want BBQ! I want a steak, and to stay home with MY family!! UGH! I hate that we are at odds on this, it's so stupid, and this is NOT how I want to remember my first Mother's Day!! 
His Aunt left me a comment on FB this morning letting me know that they would be here until Monday, and when I told him that, he accused me of laying a guilt trip on him!! I was like nooooooo...but you do get to see your family ALL the time, ANY time you want...why can't you just take ONE day to be at home with your wife and baby?! It's so annoying! He sees his mom at least once a week, we usually go out to eat with them after church every Sunday!!! I know I probably sound like a selfish brat, but I've been waiting to become a mom for a LONG time, so it's really a big deal to me, and he knows that! I'm just going to quit worrying about it, and I guess go with the flow, and cuddle my sweet baby!!

Like a few others, trying not to get my hopes up. DH always gets frustrated around any gift giving holiday and waits until the last minute. He asked me what I want, and I said I don't know, Google first mother's day gifts and claim a cute idea as your own.

We made lunch plans with our moms, but he has not mentioned any other plans, even though I mention how much I want sushi nearly every day. To make myself happy I should just plan it myself, but I can't help but hope I will be surprised.

However the daycare gave me some cute handmade things from LO. I haven't opened them but they are wrapped in tissue paper so I know I love them already.

Stephout

Oh and I may have looked at my Amazon account since we have Prime and noticed no orders for me. I am like a 5 year old, I like to snoop for my gifts

teachermommy9967

My husband is working 12hr days this weekend so it will be just me and the 3 kids for the day (so much for a relaxing Mother's Day) then we are having dinner at my parents house with my grandma and aunt and cousins. For my birthday last month DH bought me a really nice camera which was my combo birthday/Mother's Day gift

I don't know...no one has asked what I want to do. DH did go out with his mom and DS for a couple hours last week, letting me nap. I asked where he was going and he said Mothers' Day shopping. He probably at least got a cute little blank journal. We're doing that thing where instead of cards every year, DH and the kid(s) will write something in the book and trace hands.

That is such a great idea! I am totally going to start that for EVERY ONE of the gift-giving holidays/my birthday. I never really want anything, so I love the thought of a notebook where I collect loving words....how nice that will be to look back on!

I just got my first Mother's Day present from my brother! Came in the mail today.

A 6 pack of various brews from his brewery in CO! He said it is my "new mommy juice".

Love!
