How are you spending your first Mother's Day?

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all of us! I hope everyone has a very special day enjoying their babies and remember what a blessing it is to be a mom! I still can't believe how much I love my new title and how much love I have for my little boys!

So, what are you doing on Sunday? We are escaping the hot, central valley of California and heading for the coast to relax with the babies. On Sunday we are going out for brunch, but mostly I think I'm going to just relish time with DH and the boys. Last year on Mother's Day we announced to our families that I was pregnant (little did I know just how pregnant I was!!), so much has changed since then!!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

 

Not really sure what we have planned. We were invited to my mom's but she has uninvited us(long story). So I am sure that DH and I will just relax and spend the day with the girls. We are going to ride our ATV's tomorrow. It will be nice to actually get to spend some time with him because he works so many hours.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Mother's Day.

 

It's not my first Mother's Day..but I'll be spending it with my feet kicked up and enjoying the time with my kiddos. We're taking my mom out to dinner Sunday night, but other than that I'm going to spend as much time as possible just relazing with the kids.

For the last couple years they boys have gone out in the yard and picked my flowers, so I'm hoping a get another "bouquet" this year!

 

I"m so excited about my first Mother's Day. Just like you, we announced I was pregnant to our families last year on Mother's Day. I told my DH that I just really want to sleep in so he will do the 7:30 feeding. I would also like to go to brunch! We used to go all the time before I got pg. But usually for all holidays we go to my grandparents house and all our family meets there to eat. So we will probably end up there later in the day. I just really want to have my DH and babies hanging out laughing together. Thats all I want.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!! :friends:

 

Not sure what we are doing! I am sure that DH has "something" planned!! I can only imagine!! All I know is that last year this time, I had NO idea I was pregnant and I was thinking that being a mommy was so foreign to me! Oh how 1 year changes things!

 

Nothing really going on here for Mothers Day. Probably just the same old same old.

Dave did make me a present at school, which he shoved under my pillow then sat on while telling me that it was breakable. :wacko:

Welllll, my dad just called and asked if I had anything planned, and as now we don't, so he suggested that we(all of us, my parents, and Jeff's parents, and my brother) meet over at my house for Italian take-out! Sounds GREAT to me! I don't have to cook, or clean up, and the babies will be free to roam around the house! Can't wait!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

 

On Saturday we are going to a chocolate festival, about an hour and half away. I wouldn't normally be able to convince my DH to go to something like this, but because its Mothers Day this weekend, I can On Sunday we are going up to my MIL and having a BBQ.

I am DROOLING!!!

I too am so excited about my first Mother's Day. After waiting so long to finally have children, it's such a blessing to be celebrating. It is truly the most important day this year to me. My husband, myself and the girls are heading out to brunch and later on my dad, stepmom and grandmother will be coming by for a visit. I will just be squeezing my girlies all day because I am so thankful to have them!

We have "super soccer saturday" this weekend where we have to play parents against kids and have a big BBQ and we have church where the kids are going to be doing something special and then brunch i believe... But my Mothers day surprize came yesterday after the babies' pedi appts I got home and DH had installed a new dishwasher!! I am so lucky to have my man!

PS you would have to guess i am a mom when I am this excited over a dishwasher!! lol

 

What . . . you all seem to have exciting plans.

We have had a week of sickness with an awful stomach bug. DS and DD got sick on Monday, me on Tuesday, and DH today. None of us have recovered at all. I guess this means that I may be taking care of the family. However, I love my family dearly and would be happy to take care of them.

Happy Mother's Day to all!

 

i had a bunch of silly things i wanted, now i can't remember. hopefully i can take a nap and maybe do some shopping, I HATE ALL MY CLOTHES.

We have to go to my cousin's baby's baptism in the morning, then to their house after for food. Later in the evening we are going to dinner to celebrate one of my honey's friends getting his Master's degree. So what about me??? ardon: It's my first mother's day, I want it to be about me, dangit!!!

I just told him that I want him to get up with the kids in the morning, feed them bottles and play with them until naptime so I can SLEEP IN for once. He acted like he didn't hear me the first time and then said, "You mean, after I work?" He bartends and will get home at 3 in the morning and they get up at about 6. I told him the times I've done that, including 2 weeks ago, and asked him how many Sundays he's gotten up with them since they were born - once!! I think I made my point.
Who knew sleep could be so priceless???

 

This is my second Mother's Day. We are doing NOTHING. DH will probably leave for work at 9:30 AM and not be home until midnight. So I will do what I do eveyday. Take care of the kids. Normally his family has something going on for his grandma. But nobody has said anything to me about it. So I don't know.

Maybe the kids will not be cranky and then I can just relax all day. :laughing: Yah right!! I don't see that happening.

I'd like to get up to my grandma's grave site. She died 3 years ago on Mother's Day and I like to go up to *see* her.

Last mothers day I was on strict bedrest and terrified I would loose the babies. My parents had visited with flowers and sweets and I felt terrible because I was so afraid the babies wouldn't make it. This year I'm so overwhelmed with joy and gratefulness at their existence. I can't believe how everything worked out so perfectly.
Tommorrow we will be going to the beach for the first time with the babies! After we'll have coffee at a really great beach bar! Think blue medittarenean sea and sandy beaches :icon_biggrin:
After the girls' bedtime dh will run out for a take out order of sushi (my favourite food in the world)!
I think we'll have a great day. I hope all of you have a great mothers day!

 

Well I just found out last night that DH is cooking Breakfast for all of the mommies in the family. Me, SIL, MIL, and my mom as well as my nieces and FIL. The catch is that I have to clean the house so it is presentable and go to the grocery store otherwise it would be a VERY expensive breakfast since DH does not know how to grocery shop. Other than that probably just hanging around the house being a mommy.

I was pregnant last mothers day and got flowers and a card from my mom and DH so maybe I'll get those too.

But I already have the best Mothers day gifts in the world they arrived last November and are in the livingroom giggling and playing :wub: . Uh Oh there goes the crying again.

 

I'd like to be doing nothing, I just want to relax but nooooooo. We have to go to SIL's in the city for a catered lunch. It sounds nice but to me it means packing up the babies and all their stuff and driving for 2 hours in traffic. Fun Fun. Why is mother's day always so much work for the mothers???

 

I too am headed for a day of tremendous work tomorrow. We are taking the babies 90 minutes away to see my dh's 85 year old aunt who is dying. There will be tons of family there to see us which is nice, but I am nervous to see the aunt. And not really looking forward to all the packing, outfit changing (my ds still goes through 3-4 outfits a day with spit-up), packing all the toys to occupy them in the car, driving (my husband can't see to drive), etc. etc.
WOW I am complaining. I am just soooooooooooooooo lucky to have them too!!!

 

I get to take my furbaby Nellie for a nice long walk (she misses her walks with mommy SO much!) if the weather is good and I am going to call my other first-time mom friends to wish them a Happy Mother's Day too! Maybe I'll get breakfast made for me?! Would be nice since I can't hand off feedings to DH as we feed totally on demand...however my babes are already giving me good nights of sleep (relatively anyway) and that's the BEST Mother's Day gift ever!!


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!!

 

not my first but we went out for breakfast then down to a lake with another multipal family. they have triplets all girls.

 

I am so thrilled to be celebrating what i used to think was only a Hallmark Holiday. I can't even express it: eight weeks ago the girls were inside me an intimate, personal relationship, and now they are out in the world creating joy....

Had a big argument w/DH about what to do on M-day...he was upset because i hadn't decided and a friend was going to babysit for a few hours. I told him i was to darn tired to make a decision, and given all the stress would rather do NOTHING. Or realy, just SLEEP...then last night nursing, i thought "ok, we've been talking about going to the arboretum to see the azaleas (which are astonishing here in DC), but - is that what I want, or what HE wants?

SO idecided that i wanted to create an M-Day tradition, and that more than anythng iwanted to be w/him and our girls, so - we are going to a museum. Since they can only be outside for 30-45 mins, but they can be outside INSIDE (does that make sense?) for an hour - we'll go to the National Gallery. After all, it's never too early to start w/cultural outings!

i imagine he'll make bkfst as well, and i told him three weeks ago that there darned well better be a card for me in the morning, meaning that he'd already bought it, not that he ran out on sunday!

and, while I sure wish that i had time to get my hair done so i don't have to see the roots and broken ends (5 weeks bedrest plus two girls 8 weeks ago makes for some seriously overdue at the salon time!); honestly, it's just not that important any more.

As for those of you who are doing stuff that makes it more difficult for you - sorry. I say go on strike! (easy for me to say)
