We have a birthday party to attend today. No real plans for Mother's Day - it's not shaping up to be a great weekend. Between first Mother's Day without my mom and other bad news for a friend, I think we'll just be laying low and trying to push through.

H is sick. I'm on call for work. So probably nothing too exciting this weekend. Got all the graduation frstovities done Thurs/Fri for my H. Let me tell you how fun it is to sit in auditorium seating 34 weeks pregnant while trying to keep a 1.5 yo sitting still and not screaming. And of course we have no family in the area and ILs didn't fly out so it was just me alone (which thanks a lot hormones made me cry like 10 times because I thought H should have a bigger cheering squad. Especially when I was so busy trying to catch a video of him walking across the stage that I forgot to cheer).

Huge ((hugs)) to you and everyone else who has lost a Mom or a child this weekend

Going to philly today for a bbq with my mom and grandmother. Then tomorrow I was looking forward to a low key day but my MIL is coming and yesterday DH invited my BIL and SIL so I will be playing hostess all day which I'm not excited about at all. My MIL I don't mind so much but my SIL is very grumpy because all her and BIL do is fight and they can't check it at the door. Really not looking forward to it

Totally complaining here, but we were supposed to meet DH's parents for breakfast this morning for Mother's Day. Then she called last night and wants us to just pick up something and come to their house. Not only do I not get the food I was wanting (she wants take out from somewhere else), I was just hoping to go, eat, and leave, but now we have to go sit st their house for who knows how long. Ugh.

I almost overslept this morning for proctoring the SATs. I'm trying hard not to fall asleep right now. I was up late decorating a cake that I was just in slow motion for.
ILs are coming over tomorrow. MIL said she didn't care what I made yet then requested two types of lasagna with a certain kind of cake...so obviously she does care. I'll go to my mom's cemetery for a visit too- it's also her birthday.
packerfan4life not having family around is so tough. I'm sure yh appreciated you being there!
woodengirl07 i hope there's a consolation prize like breakfast of your choice tomorrow.
So when I was pregnant with ds my husband didn't want to celebrate Mother's Day because he said I wasn't a mom yet. I was so furious. By the end of the day he ended up bringing me home flowers and something else but I was already upset at that point. For ftm, will you be celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow? I obviously think you should
And good luck, cattuccino... We're thinking of you
Today is day two of babymoon... The weather is beautiful and we just finished an incredible breakfast at the b&b. So, ready to see DD tomorrow but planning for an easy, fun day with DH.

So many hugs to everyone who has a less than spectacular weekend ahead of them!
AFM, I need to clean my extremely neglected house today. My bff and her bf are coming for her birthday dinner, finally. I'm not looking forward to the cleaning or the Walmart trip but I have some very pretty steaks in the fridge.
Tomorrow, I requested a pancake breakfast and for him to hang the baby's shelves that we bought 100 years ago. And he is also making dinner. Hopefully he also cleans up after those meals.
I managed to wrangle the family all into one place for dinner on Sunday, but of course not everyone is happy. "That's fine, not my favorite restaurant, but I'm sure there will be something good on the menu" type of stuff. Ok, then you call ten different places trying to find someone with a table for ten! It's fine, I organized it so it would be convenient for my grandmother, who recently injured her leg rather badly and can't drive. So no guilt here!
DH and I are not big gift givers. Our birthdays are close so we rarely get each other anything and do a nice dinner out instead, we often don't do Christmas gifts, etc. I can see when the baby is older helping him make cards or breakfast on Mother's and Father's Day but I'm not really expecting anything much for the next few years.
cattuccino, Thinking of you, I hope you have a peaceful weekend with your family.
woodengirl07, I hate open-ended days in a place where I'm not comfortable. Perhaps when it starts to drag you can pull the pregnancy card and plead exhaustion/sore back/etc.?

I'm sorry for everyone who has a rough time ahead of them, cattuccino and Kevinmac.
I didn't think I "counted," but DH and my mom say I certainly do. Button certainly feels real enough. I expect I will get flowers this and every year from DH, and appalling art from the little one when they're ready.
Our house is an unusual shape, a Saltbox Colonial. So only the front half of the house has a second floor, and the upstairs hall has a railing and a big drop to the first floor. The guy we bought the house from built it himself so occasionally things aren't totally to code - such as a railing with giant spaces between the posts that a small child could easily scoot through. We are a ways from crawling, obviously, but I figured deal with it now because it'll be here before we know it. But as a result, there is sawdust flying all over my house and one of the dog is having a full meltdown over the sound of power tools. She is currently in my lap hyperventilating. I guess this is good practice for nap jail?
I don't think DH will do anything tomorrow, and I'm ok with that. Although he can be so thoughtful so who knows. I think for a lot of guys they don't feel like a dad yet until the baby is actually here, where we as women truly become moms the day we find out we are pregnant. There are so many things we have to think about while pregnant for the sake of the baby.
I'm sorry cattuccino, lots of hugs. It's DH's first Mother's Day without his mom too, I know it's going to be hard for him.
Poor DH has been working the entire night, from home but is still working, he's going to be exhausted all weekend and what they are trying to do (IT stuff) is obviously not going well :/
DS and I will go to his swimming class shortly then a birthday party. Tomorrow we are having a family dinner at my parent's. I'm bringing an arugula, strawberry and goat cheese salad with hazelnuts and a hazelnut dressing which looks really good.
Last week was incredibly busy at work and my sleep took another huge nosedive. The only reason I'm able to function today is the relatively great night sleep I got last night thanks to Benadryl.
I don't plan on celebrating tomorrow. Mostly because I can't go anywhere and DH is doting on me so much already. I'm also sort of celebrating my last mother's day as a furbaby mom (yea, I love my dog a little too much).
DH is having a sort of party tonight. Just some friends playing beer pong and darts in the garage. I'm a little salty that I can't partake, but he deserves it! I know people will stop up to visit me.
I just realized this kid is going to be here in about 3 weeks at the latest. THREE WEEKS?!?!
Thoughts running through my head: -Who let me get pregnant? -I did this on purpose! -I am not a grown up, who is going to let me bring this baby home? -Can I just keep him inside indefinitely? -YOU ARE INSANE, he has to come out ASAP. - Sleeping on my stomach will be nice... - hahaha as if you are gonna get any sleep again! -I can't wait to see his face and kiss him, and squish him.
