mothers day!
what are all of your plans? some of you new mama's - do you think there are surprises in store for you??
Re: mothers day!
paula don't get too bummed about dh - i'm not sure if you're reading a lot of books on pregnancy right now but one of the most common things is that we find men to be less sensitive during a woman's pregnancy because they feel disconnected from the child as a result of not being the person who is carrying him/her. one of these days very soon you're going to "pop" and baby is going to kick something fierce and he'll come around to realizing that you are forming something absolutely magnificent inside of your tummy right now. and i agree - finding out the sex of your baby is gift enough!
I am a terrible daughter and will be in Las Vegas with DH for mothers day.
ALL my mother wanted was a Police Scanner, so thats what DH and I got her. I can already see her at home listening to all the non exciting things that happen in our town. It will make her happy though and thats all that matters.
we are going to spend sunday with my mom - dh's mom is out of the state right now so we'll be sure to give her a call and chat it up a bit. i have pictures from our wedding of my mom and i with the girls i grew up with that considered her a second parent - i'm going to have those pictures framed for her desk at work - while dh's mom is out of town we're going to change out her break pads on her car because they're in pretty bad shape.
lol yeah I could care less if I get flowers or anything. I have a feeling he will feel more connected when he sees the little one doing flips on the ultrasound on tuesday. Plus he has been GREAT with helping out when I haven't been feeling well. I can't remember the last time I have cooked or done dishes. I did cook last night though
my family does the same thing!!
My Mom mentioned yesterday during a call that there is this perfume sample that she tried that she "simply adores"...soooo...I guess I know what I'm getting her for Mother's Day :-)
I will likely visit with her on Saturday, as I try as much as I can to leave Sundays as my day off to recoup from the past week and get ready for the next one. But My Mom is the same way (we think so much alike!), that she will be happy to hang out on Saturday as well. Good times coming up!

DH and I are taking MIL to brunch on Sunday I think. We should finalize those plans I guess!
I bought a card for my BFF's mom who has been a second mom to me my whole life and has been there for me since my mom passed away. I haven't done this before for her so I think she'll be pleasantly surprised. I did give her my Santa pin since I got my mom's and expressed my feelings about her at Christmastime. She apparently cried and was very grateful for the sentiment. I can't wait to send the card to her for Mother's day.
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
I'll be in Poland. My mom understands, especially because I am also missing my own birthday celebration, which is worse than missing Mother's Day. Fortunately I be in her area on business on Friday the 13th so I told her I would take her to dinner that night.
Saturday, we are having breakfast with DH's mom. I think we got her a picture frame.
Sunday afternoon we will be spending it with my mom and then going to my Aunt's house to celebrate all the mommies (especially my grandmother). For my mom, we got some items from bath and body works. Then she gave me an idea list on Monday, so I might keep some of the bath and body works to be able to get her something off her list.
DH keeps saying that he wants to do something for me for Mother's day. I told him it really doesn't matter for this year, but if he must I would like somethings off my wish list at Bed Bath and Beyond....we will see on that one...
My mom and I are going to the Red Sox game! She absolutely loves the Sox and that's all she wanted to do for her day, so that's what we're doing! Fenway Park is also doing a 'walk in the park' after the game, where moms and families can walk on the field at Fenway, so we'll do that too. We're also going to the movies on Monday night since we're both dying to see 'Something Borrowed' - we both read the book and just loved it. So it should be a great weekend!
DH isn't close to his mom at all (he was raised by his grandparents) so we won't be seeing her. He may go see his grandma, but she's working all day Sunday. Cards are in the mail, though!
We know that we will be seeing MIL in the afternoon at DH's aunts house. All the sibblings are going in to get her a gift card to Lowe's to help finish their kitchen remodel (FIL will get the same thing for Fathers Day).
Not sure what we are doing for my mom yet. I may get her some flowers or a plant or something. I think we are going to try to have breakfast with them Sunday morning.

A10 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination: San Francisco!
We are celebrating with both our mom's at the same time (we're only children). So we're going to meet at MIL's house (she has a big house with a big kitchen) where DH and I will make dinner etc for our mom's and his step dad (mine is on the road..he's a truck driver). We'll of course get them cards and possibly a flower/plant. One year we got them an herb that they were able plant in their garden. We might do that again...it's economical and they loved it!
For DH's step mom we'll be sending her a card and an iTunes card since she just got an iPhone this year.
We normally do flowers since she lives out of state and she pretty much has everything she wants...but that can get crazy expensive...plus we just sent her flowers on her bday!
My mom will be stopping through as she goes to my sister's this weekend so I'll see her then and give her a card. I'll be mailing out a card for MIL today.
