MH has basically said he's not doing anything for Mother's Day so I'm glad I can at least celebrate it with my M14 ladies.

ntdane · May 2014

I have a little swaddle me houdini on my hands. I was just finishing nursing Owen when Keira started fussing so I went to get her. Not only were her arms out but she worked her legs all the way out too! It was one that we had from DS so maybe it's time to retire it...

I joined but I can't recognize who is who and I'm too busy to study the username list.... So I occasionally lurk and spend most of my time here

I'm sad there's no roll call tonight :-(

DS slept from 8:45pm to 3:30am (CST) and I went to bed at 10:30pm so I got decent sleep as well.

At this point I'm not starting one, I'll just celebrate here that he slept for almost 7 hours!

Happy Mother's Day M14!!!

Robert has been sleeping since midnight. Mother's Day gift #1... 5 hours of solid sleep. Mother's Day gift #2... Engorged breasts + soaked bra + wet spot on the bed.

Eh... I'll take it

Guess what I got for Mothers Day?! LAID!

AriaAmante143 · May 2014

Brooklyn only slept 5 hours last night, after 2 nights of STTN. She's been up every hour since. If my freaking family would get the fuck out of her face during the day and let me have my baby so she can take a good nap, she'd probably have STTN tonight too. Today will be no different since we have family coming over after her baptism. So then I'll have an overstimulated, overtired baby to deal with tomorrow night too.

Happy day to me Colton slept 9.5 hours! I woke up feeaking out and he was barely awake just starting to eat his hands! He was all smiles too

Boooooo

My husband is working, so we have done nothing. I'm not sure that we will do anything. Though I think I get to go for a massage next week...so I'll take it.

I too am kinda bummed about the lack of effort by DH today. I mean, I married this man, I know how he fails at holidays. It still sucks and never gets easier.

Same here. I promised myself I wouldn't get upset by the lack of thought, but I've ended up in tears anyway. Especially when he came home from the store with a bunch of cleaning supplies. And he didn't even think to get me a box of chocolates or a card

Husband fail.

I have already gotten numerous texts and calls, plus presents from my brother and girlfriend for Mother's Day. Lucky me.

Have been up with A for about 2 1/2 hrs. Fed him twice. Changed him a bunch. All in our bedroom. I mention to MH that I need him to take A so that I can get a shower. (Mind you he is awake and just laying in bed) His response: I just want to try to sleep for 30 more minutes. No happy Mother's Day, no coffee, no nothing. Unlucky me.

I really don't expect presents or anything, but taking the baby when asked so mommy can get a shower and saying happy Mother's Day would be nice!

Edited to say: we are doing brunch with my mom and grandma next weekend instead of this one. Maybe he thinks that since we are celebrating next weekend that is when he should acknowledge it? Here's hoping.

mrsdahamm · May 2014

I said several times yesterday that I wanted us all to go to church today (we haven't been in like a year) and DH wasn't on board. But I was going to go anyway. So I'm sitting here and he asks what I'm doing "Trying to get the baby back to sleep so I can get in the shower" "why? Where do you have to go?" Really?

Needless to say, LO is as cooperative as his father and won't go back to sleep. And I know better than to think H will take him so I can shower. So no church again this week

@ProudMommy030614‌ where did you find that it's so cute!! I'm struggling to find something for DS for a wedding in 2.5 weeks.

It was an eBay find total price after shipping was $1.99. I am a bargain shopper

Today was my daughters rescheduled 4th birthday party (first was during surgery). I was heading out the door to pick up the last few things when my H called. He and his buddy were riding a couple towns over and his friend flipped over his handlebars. I had to go pick them up and therefore didn't have any decorations for the birthday party. It was such a half assed party. And poor guy broke his collar bone. They are training for an ironman.

Oh no, poor guy! Which Ironman an are they doing, @babylimas‌? We have about 20 athletes doing Chattanooga but I also have 2 doing CDA and one doing Louisville.

BSCMILs parents (DHs grandparents) are either in town for the week, or will be here tomorrow. No one tells me anything. BSCMIL hasn't seen this 6 week old baby in 3 weeks, and is already trying to play the 'perfect grandma' while her mom is here. They'll be here for a week. I'm going to my moms house today, and plan to be extremely busy for the rest of the week. No one let me in on this plan, so I had no idea they would be here. Can't be mad at me for planning shoots this week. DH said something about taking the baby over to MILs house while I stayed home to work tomorrow. Over my dead body will that woman be around my child without me present. Gah. I'm already sick of fighting with DH this week and we haven't even started fighting yet. For the sake of my marriage we need to move the hell away from these people.

A few weeks ago my MIL told DH to let me sleep in and take the baby to her house so they could all hang out. I love my MIL and this would have pissed me off. I can't even imagine for you.

CruiseGirl28 · May 2014

I feel like the grass is always greener. Joe bought me a card and a card from Isla. I love it- very thoughtful. Then I found out how much he spent. I said, "You know they sell 99 cent cards, right?" Lol. I'm seriously such a cheap date.

nblondheim · May 2014

Went to the cabin for the first time with the twins without DH and it's all his family. The cabin has no running water and the electricity is run on a generator only when needed. It's a 2 bedroom cabin and there were 7 adults and 7 kids!!!! It was insane! And I'm apparently the only one who cares about germs there...everyone had the twins personal toys I brought from home in their mouths, nuks were used by others including a wubbanub that the 2 year old is now keeping. I don't mind sharing but ask first and not nuks!!! Vent over

nblondheim · May 2014

Can you put a wubbanub in the washing machine?!

ProudMommy030614 · May 2014

Best Mother's Day card ever :x

DH's stomach hurts so he's laying down. I mowed half the yard and now I'm having back spasms. We got a new mower that is self-propelled but it is like twice as heavy as our old mower, so when I have to pull it backwards and turn it around it kills my back. So to recap, I'm a sweaty, dirty mess with back spasms, holding the baby. DH is sick and laying down.

babylimas · May 2014

@jessher‌ They are doing Chattanooga! I'm very excited.

For those who are unhappy about Mother's Day - do you say anything? I would call my husband out. If you are unhappy say something. I think it's hard to meet expectations if they don't know they exist.

theluckiest9 · May 2014

@Blonderedhead781‌ hope your mom is ok! I'll be thinking of you guys.

amdecker1016 · May 2014

I am sorry you guys are having a sucky mothers day.

I got breakfast in bed, a willow tree and a great american cookie.

Then he went to sleep. I can't complain too much!

WoodShopGirl · May 2014

@Blonderedhead781‌ hope your mom is ok.

@babylimas I definitely said something to MH about his fail. He said that since we are doing brunch next weekend he didn't really consider that I expected anything special today. I explained, through some angry tears that all I expected was a little acknowledgment. He apologized but also said I was over reacting. We are working through it. Ugh! Not how I wanted to spend today.

PerkyErky · May 2014

If one more person wishes me a happy "first" Mother's Day I will lose my shit! This is not my first one, I have a son who is almost 6 and I have been his mother since he was 2.5. I didn't birth him, but I am very much his mother. I also have a daughter that was born shortly before Mother's Day last year. It might be my first Mother's Day with a living biological child, but I have been a mother for years.

As for celebrating, I don't expect anything elaborate, but I would prefer to not have to remind my husband why he needs to go get his own Mother's Day card for his mom and "someone else" while he's at the store.

jennybean80 · May 2014

DH gets points for trying. I got a Mothers Day card from him, and one from the kids. He also got me gifts. But they're weird. I got a set of R2D2 measuring cups and a couple of 'funny' parenting books (we have very different senses of humour so he finds the books pee-your-pants hilarious, I find them mostly obnoxious). But he made the effort, and took us out for a nice brunch with a mimosa for mommy, so I'm very happy!

Do you guys believe that babies can see the "spirits" of people who have passed? I'm laying on the floor next to Ryke and he's smiling and cooing and telling stories, facing away from me. He's staring at the same spot on the wall. There's no one there.

I don't know what I believe, but id like to think it's my gran paying him a visit

My husband is convinced Mia sees spirits in our house.

Eli has hairy ears. They are covered in this semi dark peach fuzz. I think it's adorable.

On a scale of 1 to Hell No, how dangerous do you think it would be to baby wear while I push mow the last half of my yard? Today's the only day it's not going to rain all week and it has to get done and DH is now throwing up so I don't know if I can leave the baby inside with him "/

SomersIsles · May 2014

@Blonderedhead781‌ I hope your mom is ok!

WoodShopGirl · May 2014

On the high expectations comment, I think my friends/family inadvertently made it worse for MH. I received cards and small gifts from a bunch of people and even more texted/called me for my first Mother's Day making a big deal of it.

This in turn makes me feel worse about MH not doing anything.

As the day has gone by he has been more attentive and I think after talking he realizes I just wanted the acknowledgment.

And I think since we are going to brunch next week I need to ease up on him.

My thoughts- wearing her while mowing isn't the problem to me, is having the grass and crap flying in the air that LO can breathe in that i would be nervous with.

ntdane · May 2014

@Laura8388‌ and @FarmBoysWife‌ looks like I will be joining you on the baby getting food front. DS1 tried to feed Owen a small pretzel stick today when we stepped out of the room. We have no idea if he got any of it and wouldn't have known if DS1 hadn't come to tell us what he did. At least he did that much right! He said Owen looked hungry.

SomersIsles · May 2014

So my mom flew over to visit from California. We went to brunch with DH and MIL. Then both grams came back to the house to hang out. I'm pretty sure while Robert got passed back and forth between the two there was a passive aggressive competition over who was achieving more eye contact and smiles. It was epic. ::eye roll::

On another note, DH gave me the cutest card. Last night I noticed random purple ink on Robert's foot... DH quickly dismissed it. In the morning when I opened my card, DH had used fingerpaints and stamped his hands and feet in the card. He knows I love sentimental shit like that haha

Can you get to the first floor? An interior bathroom, in the tub would be safest.
