no, I specifically asked for him to not do anything from the baby, just the usual stuff he does from the dog. I dont know why. I feel like I shouldnt celebrate yet bc Im not a "real" mom yet. Maybe its just superstition or paranoia or something
***edit - im not saying you shouldnt do something if you want to. Most people think Im dumb for my decision. IF you want him to do something, Id drop some hints or flat out tell him :)
I would personally love it if my husband did something special, but I'm sure it won't occur to him to do so. We are going to visit my mother this weekend and I'm betting she'll have a Mother's Day present for me...odd, since she's the mom. He better do something next Mother's Day though.
Mother's Day is the day I found out I was pregnant with Moose. Since that day, I've never done anything on Mother's Day. At first, it was because I wanted to be lazy on my first Mother's Day. Then, no one saw me as a mother except my husband, so I refused to do anything for anyone else. Plus, it was really hard because I had really looked forward to a handprint or something from Moose. This year, it's going to be hard again because, in spite of me not wanting to get my hopes up, I'm hoping again to have a handprint from my baby, but know I could end up with another urn on my mantel.
Yeah, I think I'd put it off till next year too if I wasn't as far along. But since I'll be induced at the end of May if she's not here yet, she's going to be born (as long as all goes well) by father's day. And father's day also is the same weekend as my 30th birthday. So he just gets all the parties....haha, terrific reasons for wanting to celebrate mothers day.
McBride - you're still a mommy and one that's been through more than most mother's have to endure
@troubled: Thanks. Good luck getting your baby out before you have to be induced.
Last year, we didn't do anything for Mother's Day. My husband got to celebrate Father's Day (Addie was about 2 weeks old), but she woke him up that morning with a diaper so big he was calling to me in panic from the bathroom. Happy Father's Day! :)
If you want a little recognition, maybe just casually mention that you'd like a card or to be taken out to brunch or something? I reminded my husband of Mother's Day this year by saying, "I already know what Addie's getting you for Father's Day. It's going to be so great!" He took the hint and ordered my present the next day.
@TheFutureMcBride: I'm praying for you that you get many hand prints for future mother's days...
We just found out that I'm expecting, and we're having everyone over our house for Mother's Day...so we're telling our families on Sunday. I don't expect my husband to think of anything, but he might surprise me!
Last year I did something special for my husband for fathers day only to miscarry a month later. I'll be 29 weeks on mothers day, but I'm still too paranoid to celebrate yet.
I have no idea. I do know that I want to do something for DH for Father's Day, though.
Well our baby isn't due until August, so not planning anything for mother's day or father's day. We'll see if DH does anything though. I highly doubt it.
My husband is more than likely buying me comfortable tennis shoes. He's so practical. :)
Then we're going to go see our moms - because we have even MORE appreciation for them now.
Since we've been away every weekend my mom's coming up to help do some last minute things, so we'll be celebrating with her too. My husband thought mother's day was next weekend so he did need to be reminded but good man did know he was supposed to celebrate. One time I agree with babycenter forums more than WB forums, pregnancy is part of motherhood.
DH asked me what I wanted since he sees me as a mother now, but I (like a lot of people) don't want to jinx anything.
I also specifically asked not for anyone to do anything or even aknowledge it. I don't have a kid (or a baby) to physically "buy" me anything so I also don't think of myself as a real mom yet.
So baby decided she didn't want to be a mothers day present but hubby did a very good job.
We'd been traveling basically every weekend and still needed to get stuff done on the house so my mom came up to help us do last minute things (my husband broke his arm, cast came off but it's still not quite right so help is good). So Sunday morning my husband got up and made us all a pancake breakfast and got a sweet card so I was happy. And he was really diligent about getting things done on the 'it will be fine if it's not done but I'd really like this to be done before baby' list. So I thought hey great day. But then at the end of the he took me and my mom to a massage place and we got nice long back and foot massages. I'd never had a 'professional' massage before so it was great, especially after a busy weekend. And now the nursery is really all set up instead of 'it'll do if she comes early'.
@troubled: Congrats on the nursery getting set up and more things marked off the list. Good luck on popping that baby out soon.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So I'm most likely still going to be pregnant. Not sure if they hubby has anything planned or needs reminded that he should do something semi-sweet, especially since next month, if all goes well, our little girl should be here. That just wouldn't be fair to celebrate fathers day but not mothers day.
So any pregnant plans for a womb baby mothers day?
