The weather was SOOO beautiful... DH grilled and we just sat out on the patio for a few hours. Haven't spent much time w/ my family lately so they asked me a lot of questions about my pregnancy so far, etc. And to top it off I actually felt pretty good the whole day yesterday so I am thankful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going/page/2#post-1627970 Mon, 12 May 2014 03:27:39 +0000 mrs.cookie 1627970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: mine too. I think I have PTSD from yesterday. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going/page/2#post-1627962 Mon, 12 May 2014 02:08:07 +0000 erinpye 1627962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, not the best day, not the worst. ODD made me a card. DH cooked me a dinner I loved. I am 2 hours away from my family and missed them terribly, and until my DH said something to his parents who live walking-distance, they didn't even wish me a Happy Mother's Day. Then, they came over and had an awkward visit and brought a nice gift. In-laws also all went out to dinner to celebrate the rest of the mothers in the fam, but not me as I wasn't invited. Currently working late into the night after nursing SO MUCH today! haha. The best part was my 3 month old STTN last night: that was a great gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going/page/2#post-1627915 Sun, 11 May 2014 22:57:12 +0000 googly-eyes 1627915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: ooooh I wanna go! Ha</p> <p>@Mrs. Twine: I'm sorry. :( can I commiserate? UTI symptoms sent me to the ER as I'm out of town and it came on so suddenly. I am so grateful for my LO and family, don't get me wrong. But I am pretty miserable today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627630 Sun, 11 May 2014 18:36:44 +0000 swedishfish 1627630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: aaahhhh!!

Ahhhh so excited. I :heart: country music concerts!</p> <p>We had a low key day, just hanging out, which was perfect. R slept 14 hours straight last night which was the best gift ever This was my gift from R.

Did dinner last night with my whole extended family, which was fun since we only get together a few times a year. And this morning the kiddo slept til 7:30 and DH picked us up Bob Evans breakfast because he doesn't cook. Then we took a boat ride up the river and had BBQ for lunch. Just relaxed for the rest of the day. And I got a rotisserie, which I've been wanting for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627527 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:19:54 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1627527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: @Mrs. Pen: well i am absolutely here to welcome you with open arms! It's very pretty! Nice weather! City conveniences with nature close by! A bit too conservative for my liking, but I can't have it all :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627525 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:16:21 +0000 simplyfelicity 1627525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today was going to be the day I told my mom and MIL that we are expecting...had a whole thing planned to surprise them. Unfortunately, that won't be happening. I am trying to focus on the fact that this is about my mother and the wonderful woman she is. Today is just hard, I hope and pray that this time next year I will have a little one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627521 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:09:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1627521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: It would be awhile from now if it happens - but the majority of my family is planning to move to TN. My SIL and brother have been saving $$ for a house downpayment and he plans to start looking for jobs down there in about a year. So they've been wanting to enlist the rest of us to move down there with them - and we're considering it for the future. I would definitely like to visit and experience TN before I commit to it though! I've never been to that area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627514 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:54:10 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1627514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I am actually down, if you are. I miss that whole area, even though I hated growing up there. Lorelei has actually been making me read her, "Goodnight Tennessee" book over and over. I want some short mountains and forests and goofy tourist stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627510 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:50:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1627510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: haha maybe we could carpool. I have really been wanting to visit TN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627507 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:48:46 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1627507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I am down for a BBQ. Unfortunately the drive wouldn't get us there in time ;)<br /> @babyjmama: Thanks. &lt;3<br /> @Mrs. Pen: &lt;3 Me too!<br /> @Mrs. Yoyo: I want to SO BAD. Like crazy bad. Think we would live through the drive? That's what's stopping me.<br /> @Silva: It hasn't, really. But now it's to the point that it's bad enough I can laugh about it, which I guess IS an improvement! I am slightly sick (just enough to be uncomfortable, which, when coupled with my wrecked back is... unpleasant), Lorelei is just sick enough to be grumpy, Mr. T had to go to the field after two whole hours at home (he was sweet while he was here, until he got grumpy that I wasn't very cheerful), and then when we tried to go play outside at the playground to cheer us all up, it started to pour rain on us. But, of course, not enough rain to bring Mr. T home. So I get to do solo bedtimes, etc. tonight. I'll do some yoga later, and maybe do some writing or something. It's okay. Just not my dream day at all.</p> <p>I am loving reading about all the sweet, thoughtful, and fun things everyone else has going on-- so keep it coming! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627496 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:37:39 +0000 coopsmama 1627496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good! DH got up with DS both at 3:30 and 6:30 so I could sleep in a bit...until 7:30. He made me breakfast and bought me a gift which was not exactly what I was expecting but still sweet. :) We even made it to church today, which has been unusual for as of late. We're heading to see my parents when C wakes up from his nap so I'm just hanging out now and relaxing while DH does some yard work. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627493 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:33:35 +0000 Beebug 1627493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No baby, so not as exciting as it *could* have been!</p> <p>(edd tomorrow!)</p> <p>Great though, no complaints at all, great day with family, but nice I got some solo time too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627447 Sun, 11 May 2014 14:50:30 +0000 BlueWolverine 1627447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty good! LO slept in until 9:30(?!?!), DH got up with her and I rolled out of bed at 10. DH and LO gave me a beautiful card with a gift certificate to my favorite spa for a facial. We then went to Costco - I never get to go because the crowd on the weekend drives DH crazy, but he sucked it up today :happy: LO is napping now and DH is making his famous queso for a birthday BBQ we're going to after LO wakes up. Happy, happy day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627436 Sun, 11 May 2014 14:33:35 +0000 Silva 1627436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I'm sorry. Hope it turns around a bit :heart: </p> <p>We've had a nice day. Babe got up at 5, but I got to sleep until about 8. Our families came over and we had brunch, then walked to the playground. I planted some flowers while babe napped and my husband did the dishes....now we are getting ready to go wash ramps/play in the water. 75 degrees and sunny! Oh, and I picked up steak and red wine for dinner! Mmmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627415 Sun, 11 May 2014 14:11:02 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1627415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Boo hiss :-( Sure you can't come take a vacation in the beautiful mountains of eastern Tennessee? ;-)</p> <p>Not bad here! DH and LO made me a cute Mother's Day iMovie set to one of our favorite songs. He also got me an iPad. Which is generous but also a little weird since I barely have time to use the one I already have (?) "But this one has cellular data! And the retina display!" he yelps. Ha.</p> <p>But the real treat was that I got to do some desperately needed shoe shopping allllll by myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627403 Sun, 11 May 2014 13:59:19 +0000 MamaJ 1627403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pretty good. DH let me sleep in even thought I couldn't sleep. Made me cinnamon rolls. He got me a funny card and an iPhone 5s (he gave me the phone Thursday). Played with DS all morning then got dressed and painted my nails. We are going to lunch then the mall so I can look for work clothes. Then we are are going to DH's grandma's house which will suck because her and 2 of his aunts smoke in the house. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627397 Sun, 11 May 2014 13:53:36 +0000 Boheme 1627397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been ok. Started out bad bc DH told me we weren't doing anything special bc I'm not his mother. Then he surprised me because he actually DID do something super sweet... But I was mad about this morning so that put a damper on it. Dang him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627396 Sun, 11 May 2014 13:53:10 +0000 woodentulip 1627396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to join the sob story. I spent the morning crying on the couch. Which I am sure is partially due to being overtired and a little hangry, but my older daughter has just been mean today. And I can't manage to shake off her words. They are stinging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-mothers-day-going#post-1627393 Sun, 11 May 2014 13:51:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1627393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: aww sweetie!
