Mother's Day

BabyBurns · May 2011

What are you getting/asking for?

I had DH convinced that I should get a diamond to represent Aubrey (because diamonds are April's birth stone). Then my mom shouted "It's HER birth stone, not yours!". Rats!

In reality I don't want or expect anything. Money is tight because I'm a SAHM. But I would LOVE one of those necklaces with little kid charms with the birth stones to represent Aubrey so I can add it to the angel charm I have representing her twin which I lost early on in pregnancy. And the diamond wouldn't have to be real

I haven't asked for anything and I have no idea what I'm getting, if anything. I'm not sure it will occur to DH to do anything big or special for my 1st Mother's Day. I know that sounds bad, but I have a feeling with the chaos of a newborn that it isn't on his radar.

He does know that at some point I'd like to have a cedar chest to store family momentos in. My mom and grandmother both had one, and they've stored everything from baby blankets and photo albums to report cards and art projects in there.

Money is tight so my mother's day gift was splurging a little bit to get her newborn pictures done. It's also doubling as gifts for both sets of grandma's and great-grandma.

for this baby to actually be here by then!

I normally don't tell my husband that I expect something for holidays and occasions like my birthday and our anniversary, but I expressed how important it was to me that my first Mother Day is special.

He asked me for ideas and I told him it was up to him to come up with something. He mentioned flowers and I told me no. I've gotten flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, just b/c, etc. I don't care about getting a gift either. I just want the day to be special. I explained that we could do something as a family, just me and him or even something just for me.

I haven't asked for gifts since I found out Santa wasn't real.

I did point out a mother and child figurine that I loved when I was still pregnant, and hubby told me not to get it because it's a perfect mothers day gift... so maybe i'll get that? I just want to spend the day with my son and hubby and visit my mom

It's a surprise, of course, but I have a feeling it's jewelry! Just a hunch, knowing MH and a comment he made about Tiffany's recently.

I never really ask for things... The fact that he's constantly remodeling our house is sort of a present for every holiday there is--kitchen for Christmas, Library for my birthday, etc., etc. :-)

Maybe going out for breakfast would be nice.

I had originally wanted moissanite (good fake diamond) stud earrings for a push present/mother's day gift but DH won't let me get him something close to equal in value for father's day, so I told him not to get them. I've been trying to come up with something else, but can't think of anything. I'd like something that I could pass on to her when she has a baby, or gets married, something, but I can't even think of any other jewelry that I don't already have that would fit in the price range we agreed to (I'm a jewelry freak, so I already have many pieces). He even asked if I wanted an IPhone, because he really only likes giving gifts he knows will be useful! (that option was also ruled out as too expensive because we already have fairly new phone contracts). So at this point I have no idea what I'm getting, if anything

I got the best present one could ever ask for, my son.

I would like a full night's sleep. Otherwise, I'm just happy to be a mom this year.

This is all I want.

A co worker of mine makes personalize sterling silver jewelry on the side. Being that we're broke from my 3 months of bedrest it's a perfect gift. Only $26! It's just a charm with her name then a small crystal to represent her birthstone. Ill try to cone back and pip on my computer if I remember later! Then we're going out to breakfast! I'd love a full night sleep too! Or even just 5 hours!!!

Aaaaamen! 40 weeks, 6 days for me, too!

brooketini · May 2011

Now that our family is complete, I told DH I would love a piece of jewelry with both kids' birthstones (which are, coincidentally, DH & my birthstones as well). My ideal gift would be a small white gold band with alternating blue topaz & diamonds. We've never done "push presents" or big mother's day gifts, so it would be a one time thing!

SushiNoMore · May 2011

I've been working with the jeweler who did our wedding bands and my engagement ring to get a garnet band made. I was originally an April mom, but my baby was born 3 months premature. Garnet it January's birthstone. I'd like to get a new ring for each kid we have (2 or 3) and stack them.

I could entrust my husband with this task, but we moved 5 hours away from the jeweler. I'm going to end up doing it over e-mail and have the band mailed to us. It's easier if I just do it directly rather than try to use him as a go-between. :-)

So I'm a day late, but here is my mother's day present (well part of it, I also asked for the new Sookie Stackhouse book! LOL)
