Do you consider this...

To be your first Mother's Day?
I was asked today and I didn't know how to answer!

Re: Do you consider this...

  • I'm still an incubator for the time being.  Mommyhood's going to be way harder than this!  :)

    If it wasn't my birthday, probably not...but there is something sentimental about my bday falling on mother's day this year and being pregnant. My H said my MIL had bought be a mother's day gift.

  • Nope, this is my second.

    When I was pregnant with my first however, I did not consider it my first Mother's Day.

    Yes, but mainly because other people are acting like it is. I know my husband is getting me a gift and I know my Mom is sending me flowers. All unnecessary, but very sweet.
  • I put "I don't know."  I guess I don't really consider it to be my first Mother's Day, though I wouldn't mind if DH did a little something since it's been a rough ride thus far. Smile

  • I said yes because every decision I make has this baby in mind. 
  • I know that my Mom and sisters will probably call or do something small, but DH is still very raw from losing him Mom in March so I think its best if we just pretend that Sunday is just a normal day.

  • Happy b-day OUKap!!!  It's my b-day too on mother's day!!!  Looks like I'm due after you tho, since I'm just over 17 weeks.  I'll be celebrating more for my b-day than mother's day, but I'm sure my family will combine the two and maybe give me gifts for the baby since that's what I had requested.

  • Yes, but I don't expect anyone to do anything for me. My mom sent me a card and my cousin is taking me to brunch, but I wouldn't be upset if they didn't. I don't think DH is going to do anything and that's okay with me.
  • It is my first because my son was born hours after Mother's Day last year! 

    Last year on Mother's Day I was having contractions all day (had been for 2 weeks) and spent the day getting a pedicure and relaxing with DH and my parents.  But I did not consider it my first Mother's Day.

  • No. And I really hope no one does anything for me at my MIL's brunch.

    I'm no more a mom this year than I was last year, when I was sad about losing my first pregnancy. If having previously been pregnant didn't make me a mom then, being pregnant doesn't make me a mom now.

    I'm cool with waiting until next year for any celebrations.

    (And my DH feels the same way about father's day, though I might still get him a "You're going to be a great dad" card. But no gift).
