Re: If you are due after Mother's Day...
Hey LB,
I was complaining to DH the other day how it's not fair that the baby will be here for fathers day but not for mothers day. He said that we'll still celebrate it b/c I've been growing baby for so long.. but who knows. This is the same guy who didn't get me a even a card for my Bday or Valentines day this year. I'm not expecting anything
He's in trouble!!! LOl Did you see what im getting DH for father's day?!?
No, I must have missed that one.. what are you getting him??
for me it's a little different because my bday is 3 days before mother's day and my parents are having bbq up in the mountains for my bday/mother's day so i'm sure the gifts that i get will be birthday/mother's day gifts....
our baby is due july 6th but i do plan plan on buying my husband a father's day gift in june
DH has asked me what I wanted. I mentioned that I don't want anything, I can wait until next year.
He'll probably still at least want to take me to brunch. I'll smile and say thank you, because I'm not about to turn down a meal.
I absolutely feel that DH and I are already parents even if our little one isn't here yet. That said, I wouldn't expect anyone except for DH to worry about Mother's Day anyway. Since I will be ready to pop any day, I do hope that he'll acknowledge the day in some way, even if it's just to say "Happy Mother's Day." He'll be working that day, so I won't be surprised if he comes home with some flowers from the grocery store (or a carton of ice cream since that has been my recent vice).
I also won't be surprised if my mom gives me a card - she's so darn excited, and hoping LO may even be here by then!
Mother's Day was May 12 and I had DD on May 22, two yrs ago. I did get a few mother-to-be cards which were very thoughtful! I hadn't expected anything but really was touched to receive those cards
I had to wait almost a full year before getting my first real M Day gifts and it was fabulous. I got the so cliche but sooooo awesome personalized mug w/pic of DD and I couldnt've been happier. I had gotten DH the same mug (dif pic) for his first father's day a month after she was born so now we each have one and we use them all the time and smile
