Mother's Day :)

DBonfante · May 2014

Hi mamas and mamas to be!! I was wondering how you are celebrating your Mother's Day (if baby is in or out). I would also love to know what you are doing for your moms/grandmas/aunts etc.

I am planning on taking my mom to brunch to celebrate. My husband asked me what I would like to do to celebrate (baby is still in).
I would like to do something together before baby comes but I'm at a loss and would love to hear what you ladies are up to!

I bought one of these for my mom with a message from LO. We plan on doing brunch and such. As far as being one celebrated, I honestly don't know. DH may or may not have something planned. Either way, I don't mind!

MrsT2008 · May 2014

We have zero plans (though I'm crossing my fingers that our non-plans turn into having-a-baby plans). Usually we make time to see our moms but I didn't want to plan anything not knowing what my status was going to be. I also didn't even bother with gifts this year - neither mom ever really wants anything and since we won't see them again until we're in the hospital after baby, I didn't want to do gifts then (for selfish reasons and because they'd think I was crazy to have worried about it).

ETA: We will call our moms and I did mail out cards. Otherwise, we'll just spend the day with DD.

lrmrtn · May 2014

My mom is coming over and she said she just wants to order take out because restaurants will be crazy and she knows I'm uncomfortable. We sent my MIL a card. We didn't do gifts this year. I have no idea what if anything DH is doing for me. I did hint to him that I expect at least a card even though baby's not out yet.

whimsy515 · May 2014

I think my Mom will come over and we'll order pizza or something. She knows I'm uncomfortable and a bit moody, so she's not expecting much. Don't know what my DH will do. So far baby is still in, but I know he wants to do something nice for me, so who knows!

yvanehtnioj · May 2014

We are having the ILs over, and will be cooking them a meal. I wish I didn't have to cook, entertain or clean the house but I want her to have a nice day; it's her first Mother's Day as an (almost) grandma. My own mom lives 5 hours away and isn't very proactive about keeping up with us so she'll just get a phone call.

I've never seen such a thing ! thas the cutest idea thanks for sharing!

ThereBeDragons · May 2014

Our Mother's Day will probably be low key. My mom is out of town until next week, MIL passed away years ago, and DH and I are still trying to get the hang of being new parents. Phone call to my mom, maybe dinner out with her next week, and DH let me pick my own Mother's Day present this year- a silver locket with one of our newborn hospital pictures.

DBonfante · May 2014

The really awesome thing is that FIL is paying for his housekeeper to come by our place on Saturday to do some cleaning for a couple hours, so I shouldn't have to do much of anything in terms of sprucing up the place.

This is awesome!! I have been slacking on the cleaning these last couple of weeks. Hubby cleans for me but I am a neat freak and he always misses a few spots lol.

pistolpackinmomma · May 2014

Luckily I get out of visiting with my MIL this weekend (best present ever!!) but will probably go visit with my mom once DH leaves to head back to work for the week.

jcf2133 · May 2014

My EDD is Mother's Day, so who knows if I'll have an inside or outside baby by then, but I told DH that I fully expect at least a card either way. No doubt in a month he will expect to celebrate Father's Day! We will take our moms out to dinner belatedly after the baby is here. It's just too close to go time to be scheduling plans.

ehowa499 · May 2014

I'm still holding out hope that I will have an outside baby mom Mothers Day (40+3 today). My mom has been staying with me this past week and we went out and had manicures, pedicures, and had our hair done together. We don't usually so a whole lot for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or birthdays in my family, so that will probably be it, and I will give her a card. My MIL always gets a card and a plant. DH better bring me chocolates on Mother's Day regardless of whether I have had the baby or not!

sammy.k · May 2014

Hoping to be released from the hospital on Mother's Day

since it will be our first night home I'm guessing we'll just take it easy and make dinner. I plan on enjoying a nice glass of vino

delatl · May 2014

My DH keeps teasing me that mother's day doesn't count if she's still inside. It's his favorite joke right now. Sigh. I know he bought some presents though because he didn't hide them very well. We celebrated mother's day with his family last Sunday and we'll be with my mom this Sunday unless we're (hopefully) in the hospital having our own baby. We got his mom a gift card to Walmart and my mom is getting a hanging flower plant.

ho11yday · May 2014

We are not planning anything unless MIL decides she wants to do something. Otherwise, DH will get us steak for dinner and a bottle of wine.

Unless of course LO makes an appearance.

Jennyinheaven · May 2014

I visited my mom today with her new granddaughter we brought cards, on mother's day we will have lunch over my in laws and then sushi dinner out. Also DH has a surprise but I have no idea what it is we will see.

raebee18 · May 2014

Hoping to be holding my daughter in my arms. If not i'm probably going to be bawling my eyes out. I was super hopeful to have my baby by mothers day, I think I have built it up in my brain for new reason the thought of not holding her on that day makes me unreasonably sad. I know it could very well not happen by then as I would be 40+6 but please just do this one thing for mommy!

DBonfante · May 2014

Thanks for sharing. You ladies all sound like me- low key and waiting lol. I hope that at least some of us get to hold our LO on Mother's Day

Jillzy86 · May 2014

Bought my MIL all her flowers for her planters boxes and plan to plant them for her tomorrow morning. For Mother's Day we will have brunch. I still don't know what to send my mom she lives a state away and I've got zero ideas.

hanafan36 · May 2014

My father said specifically not to have River on mother's day, since he has plans. Probably a cookout of some sort.

daizijayne · May 2014

I would LOVE to have a baby that day, if not sooner, since I will be 40+3. Otherwise no real plans. I'll call my mom, and we may see MIL, but as far as I know nothing is set yet.

spacepotatoes · May 2014

It's going to be pretty low key for us too, though it usually is. We'll be having lunch with my parents, just take-out, and my mom is getting a gift card to a garden centre that she requested. That's all I have the energy to go out and take care of at this point. We'll also stop by the in-laws and visit my MIL for bit afterward.

My birthday and EDD are coming up at the end of the month and DH knew I wanted a pedicure before having the baby. Last weekend, he gave me a gift card for the spa that I usually go to as an early Mother's day/Birthday gift so that I could use it whenever I wanted this month. I don't think we're doing anything else this year.

chillypenguin · May 2014

We are driving down to the ILs tomorrow and spending the day with them so they can see the baby and celebrate Mother's Day. It will be nice to go down, we were supposed to drive down on Easter but baby girl had other plans and came that day.

Sunday all I really want is to sleep in, but I kind of doubt that will happen. DH always has the best intentions, but with a toddler and a newborn I know I am bound to be up. Then we are going to my parents house later in the day for a cookout.

hsal · May 2014

Well be discharged today so I hadn't planned on anything Sunday but my mom, aunt and grandmother are coming over on Sunday to cook a meal and hang out with me, dh, my almost three year old and newborn. I love that I'll get to see everyone but don't have to run around myself.

we actually bought clothes and a bag for my mom and a bag for my aunt since both of them pointed out those items while we were on vacation last month. Well end up stopping at the chocolatier down the street for my grandmother.

lrmrtn · May 2014

We were supposed to have a cleaning lady come next week to do a deep clean before the baby arrives but my car needed unexpected repairs this week so we can't afford it so DH said he'd do it as a mother's day gift to me. I'm sure I'll end up helping since I'm more anal but its still nice of him to offer.

bumpuser10194737 · May 2014

Very low key here. Not ready to take little one out just yet. We will probably do take out of some kind for lunch, and someone from church is bringing us dinner, which they do for moms for a week or so after they have a baby.

My own mom is no longer living, but I got my MIL a necklace from Etsy with all of her grandchildren's initials.

Mamazon2014 · May 2014

Not sure what DH has planned for Sunday, but Saturday night DH is taking me on our last Date Night before Mason arrives. We're going out to dinner and then to see Neighbors at the movie theater. Nothing too exciting, but should be nice

Jealous. Since I want to go to a birthday party for a friend's son (and friend of my son) this weekend an hour away, I can't really say that I don't want to travel 1.5 hours to spend the day with my MIL...but I don't! Ugh SOOO not looking forward to 5+ hours in the car this weekend. Not how I'd choose to spend my Mother's Day if given a real choice.

CMDR513 · May 2014

DH is being called into work.

( He was off all this week with me. Davey has soccer so ILs will take him.

Miggg · May 2014

We're visiting the ILs then DH's grandmother then my parents where we're also celebrating my brother's birthday. All while toting around a 3 week old newborn. Not sure if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it.

hfooter · May 2014

We are having my mom and mil over for breakfast and then seeing a movie. We got both of them necklaces with their kids initials and birthstone. Pretty laid back this year.

And I feel like I the only one, but FX this kid doesn't decide to come early on Mother's Day.

amroke · May 2014

My husband's brothers planned a big family brunch for 11 am Sunday (literally the earliest time that the restaurant serves it) for their mom and I guess wives. They included my husband in the planning but he didn't tell them that he works until 7 am Sunday morning. So at 39 weeks pregnant I'll be up at 6 am tomorrow to get ready for brunch before my 19 month old wakes up at 6:30. My husband will probably sleep as late as possible before brunch then go back to sleep for a few hours after as he has to go back to work around 6. So basically on Mother's Day I'll be taking care of my son alone most of the day. Given how miserable I've felt the last few weeks, I was really hoping that the day would be a little more about me.

This is my husband too. But he told me yesterday I get a gift after she's born lol.

lauralou3x3 · May 2014

I feel bad for not doing very much this year. I just sent everyone cards (MIL, SIL, mom and grandma) my MIL and FIL are coming over today to spend time together for Mother's Day. But that's about it.

Want a personalized experience?

Mother's Day :)
