Our plans are pretty much what they are other years. See his mom, see my mom and grandma.
I did throw a hint re a present. I saw a pretty coach purse I really like. Yeah, it's a lot but our anniversary is next tues so if he wants to splurge he could.
I really wanted to just relax at home, but that isn't going to happen. I have a busy weekend. On Saturday I have a baby shower for a friend and a graduation party for a good friend graduating from law school. I am going to be exhausted.
On Sunday, I will be going to my mom's house because my brother is finally coming into the town to see her and meet Brady. I'm a little pissed at my brother since he has waited 11 weeks to meet his new nephew. He lives 2.5 hours away and hasn't found the time to come until now. I really wasn't wanting a huge ordeal for Mother's Day, but that is what we will have.
I have no idea what my husband will do for me. I have requested that they help me get the house really clean, but I know he is getting me something. He can't let a holiday/occasion go by without spoiling me. I guess that is a good problem to have.
I'm getting either a patio swing or a canopy/gazebo thing for the patio so baby and I can hang outside. I said I wanted it for my birthday (in June) but he bumped it up to Mother's Day. They're expensive, but I'm justifying because they're just generally useful for the house and should last for years.
As for the day, we'll see my mom in the morning, his mom in the afternoon, then probably my extended family for dessert in the evening. Hopefully I can get a relaxing Mother's Day when LO is older, but I don't see it happening this year.
I think we are going to a baseball game this weekend. It will be DD's first . We will go to church and other than that I don't know. I don't really care honestly. As long as H will let me sleep in which I know he will. I think he is more excited about celebrating it than I am lol.
We are going to the in laws on Saturday. No idea what we are doing Sunday. I would hope DH is coming up with something but, I am ready to be disappointed.
aggiebug I really want to go take DS to his first Oakland A's game but, DH thinks it is the worst idea ever. Eventually, I will convince him to go.
Going to my in-laws. My mom works all weekend but she is coming up Monday to visit.
I turn 30 on Friday. My birthday has fallen on Mother's Day or close to it my whole life. Since my inlaws didn't end up going to Florida this week, they agreed to babysit on Friday. Hoping it works out and we can celebrate that day for me.

I think we are going to relax at home. We are going to get some fancy meats from the new meat market down the street for H to grill. I'll indulge in some adult beverages too.
My mom is coming over tomorrow to visit and I'll give her gift then--we are spoiling her with an iPad mini. She's been so helpful with the baby and she needs a new one....so we pulled e trigger. I'm hoping it also encourages super-eagerness to babysit.
I have no idea about my MIL--that is all his to handle. She's the exact opposite of everything my mother is. His family also has weird customs when it comes to giving gifts. She for real only wanted a paper shredder for her birthday this year. Like, really, really wanted it.
anchovies, my birthday is next Saturday on the 16th! Taurus power! I'm thinking a combined big gift for the house...we need new area rugs. Also--a pedicure

I declare him vetoed DO IT!!!!
said from the person who is taking a trip with her family for the express reason to go to a baseball game in Atlanta in a few weekends. haha
DH comes up with something fun for us to do every year. We've done zoo, aquarium and several other day trips in years past. I'm not really in to "stuff." I'd always rather have a nice family day. I think DH gets that. So, I'm guessing he will have a fun day planned for us and will have helped the girls to make hand made gifts for me. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.
I am not a big celebrator of Mother's Day for myself. I don't know why? I if DD made me a craft or something that would great! MIL loves mother's day so we bring her dinner and flowers and make a fuss over her.

I can't wait for DS to make Mother's Day crafts at school.

we went to the cubs game this past weekend and it was great! We also live walking distance from the field though so I was able to walk home after the 6th inning

No plans that I know of, probably just going to my parents house like always. DH's mom lives in Co so we won't see her but we'll probably go to his aunts to see her and his g-ma (he's closer to them than he is with his mom). It's the last weekend that DH has to work befor his new job so he'll be gone all day, kinda bummed because it's my 1st Mother's Day and I just wanted to sleep in but oh well; at least I will be able to indulge in baby snuggles all day :-) since I have to work Thu/Fri and Mon/Tue :-( .
No plans. Would like to go out to eat with DH and girls. I got an early mother's day gift (my DH was excited for me to open it). It's a phone case with pictures of my DDs and DH. I love it and see it every day of courses! Thumbs up DH! Probably no other gifts for me bc we are not gifty people. I still have to get my mom something from my girls though and send a card.
jensoprano82, I am sorry that is really difficult.
Well I am an Astros fan through and through, H is a Rangers fan so I tend to root for them, but we live near DC so we root for the Nationals and that would be the game we go to. It used to be perfect because the Astros were NL and Rangers AL so we could root for each team pretty easily. Now they are division rivals which is a bummer.
My first day back to work is Mother's Day..... Luckily one of the MD's is coming in to cover my last 4 hours. Thinking my husband is planning a picnic dinner for us when I get off. He was so excited about the gifts he bought that he already gave them to me! A birthstone necklace and a Tula baby carrier.
We're spending both Saturday and Sunday with my family. Both of my grandmas passed away within the last few months, so this will be the first Mother's Day for both of my parents without their moms. So I let them decide what to do. DH's family lives 2500 miles away, so we won't see MIL. We'll go to my parents' house for dinner on Saturday with my parents, brothers and SIL and then on Sunday everyone is coming to our house for the afternoon/dinner. I'm hoping DH will let me sleep in on Sunday morning, maybe get a pedicure and some reading time. We don't tend to do big gifts for Mother's Day and Father's Day. I would like him to start some sort of annual tradition/gift since I have one that I do for Father's Day with him.. maybe I'll drop that hint.
We are going to his parents because his sister is visiting and hasnt met LO yet. Sunday we are going to brunch somewhere near them. I think my MIL and I will both get what we want for mothers day....Ill feed LO at 6am then go to back to sleep and she can play with him lol.

Having both moms here and family for a BBQ. Not super excited to host, but it's way easier than splitting our time (I think). Plus, all of DS's stuff is here, so it's much easier to take him and put him down for a nap/change him/whatever.

We'll grill at the farm for my mom. She usually requests steak and shrimp. My sister and I buy her hanging baskets for her porch every year.
I don't expect anything to happen for me. DH is so wrapped up in just trying to function that I'm sure the thought hasn't crossed his mind. I bought myself a new sewing machine.
