And then climbed into bed with me at 1:15am, which was ok for a first try.</p> <p>He usually sleeps til around 7:30 or 8. This morning he woke me up at 6 to tell me he had wet the bed. So I had to get up to change him and strip the sheets. (My husband sleeps in a different room from me because he snores.) Anyway, I was annoyed that I got woken up so early, but then he fell back to sleep until around 8 or 8:30. So I got to sit on the couch by myself listening to some music and zoning out on my phone and eating breakfast and drinking coffee. It was awesome.</p> <p>Then we had to get ready to host our parents and my sister, but my husband cooked an amazing brunch: Homemade French toast with roasted apples, quiche from scratch including the crust, and fresh squeezed orange juice :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2822190 Sun, 13 May 2018 12:16:39 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2822190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither dh nor I am home. Actually he has worked most mothers days since I got pregnant with my first/became a mom. There was something for the house he "let" me order this year for lack of better words atm. I'm still in the camp that Mother's Day is about our moms so tbh I don't think much about it! I guess I keep thinking when our kids are grown they'll celebrate it with/for me... but reading this now I'm thinking they'll have their own kids and want to celebrate themselves. 🤷‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2822185 Sun, 13 May 2018 11:41:19 +0000 Mama Bird 2822185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, I got my sleep-in day :happy: Granted, I only got it because I've got a bad cold and can't do any of the stuff we planned today, but so grateful anyway. DH has taken the kids to class and then to his mom's, and done most of the chores so I have only a couple of things to worry about. So nice!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2822180 Sun, 13 May 2018 09:45:47 +0000 tlynne 2822180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted (and got) a large golf umbrella. And my kids made cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2822121 Sat, 12 May 2018 16:47:13 +0000 youboots 2822121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m in SF with my sister and both our families. It’s also my birthday week. It’s all I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2822108 Sat, 12 May 2018 10:31:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2822108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I know DH well. :silly: Just delivered. LO loves the balloons. I’m looking forward to a low key tomorrow.</p> <p>[attach=3033/18/p8mgh6.349x600.0982C3D3-A4E1-4B2B-9604-761A10414982.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820373 Fri, 04 May 2018 12:15:58 +0000 psw27 2820373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: that mug made me LOL. </p> <p>I'd like to "sleep in" til about 7. I want donuts from the good donut place and then maybe to take a walk around the city somewhere new. I already booked myself a massage at bedtime so I can skip bedtime duties. And I want to not cook dinner, so either DH can do it or we can get takeout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820340 Fri, 04 May 2018 11:24:18 +0000 travellingbee 2820340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It’s also our anniversary weekend so we are going away to a super nice hotel in Nashville for the weekend. Don’t need anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820334 Fri, 04 May 2018 11:14:38 +0000 Iced Tea 2820334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It’s probably too short notice now, but I’d like a new wedding ring. Mine was stolen when I was taken back for a c-section almost a year ago. </p> <p>Other than that, just a lazy Sunday close to home. I’m not very sentimental, and my parents aren’t alive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820224 Fri, 04 May 2018 07:47:15 +0000 MrsSCB 2820224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday my sister offered to watch F on mother’s day so my husband and I could do something. Which is very sweet but also kind of hilarious. Like, “for mother’s day, I’d like to give you a break from your child.” 😂😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820053 Thu, 03 May 2018 10:41:34 +0000 codeitall 2820053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My birthday has always been close to mother's day and as a result we kind of lump it all together now. I'm not super into celebrations or gifts, so DH got me a super practical Instant Pot last month as an early present.</p> <p>Day of, I'll settle for just sleeping in and some baking time in the kitchen. Rolls, cake or some delicious pastry. Maybe candy. We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820033 Thu, 03 May 2018 09:17:41 +0000 lindseykaye 2820033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to spend the day together outdoors somewhere pretty - maybe one of our local botanical gardens. Then maybe lunch out somewhere afterwards. Sleeping in is a must, and then an afternoon nap would be a cherry on top.<br /> I might have to plan it, but I think I'll get all these things. I'll be 11 weeks pregnant then and just want to have a nice day together without having to rush around to plan too much myself. I *think* my husband will take my daughter to pick out flowers for me, as that's their usual gift (which I super duper love). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820018 Thu, 03 May 2018 08:29:30 +0000 Ajsmommy 2820018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flowers and a card and a little sign I saw for like $3 that says "home is where mom is" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820016 Thu, 03 May 2018 07:56:12 +0000 futuremama 2820016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch of gift cards left from Christmas and my birthday. My requested gift is an afternoon by myself to go shopping. I can't wait to just wander, try things on, and sip on some coffee. It's going to be amazing! I might get a pedicure while I'm out and about too.</p> <p>Mothers Day itself will be spent running around from one family member's to the next. My husband keeps asking my opinion on things. I told him that I don't care what we do. I just don't want to organize it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3/page/2#post-2820013 Thu, 03 May 2018 07:40:32 +0000 Corduroy 2820013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d like a nice breakfast at home and a peaceful day somewhere outside where I didn’t have to plan what everyone is going to eat. And I’d love a dessert made by the kids because it would make them so excited. </p> <p>I hope I make MIL somehow feel special and that my family does something nice enough for me to satisfy my mother when we call her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819994 Wed, 02 May 2018 22:58:40 +0000 ALV91711 2819994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd really just like to not have to cook that day. Flowers would be a bonus. Hanging out in the yard with DH &amp; DS would be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819993 Wed, 02 May 2018 22:43:00 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2819993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: I pick out my gift. This year, I have some shoes and a wallet in our amazon cart. I am kind of picky and hard to buy for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819992 Wed, 02 May 2018 22:38:32 +0000 MamaG 2819992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just sent DH my Kendra Scott wishlist, a coupon code and an email for a today only free item. Jewelry is his preferred gift to give and Momma finally decided her kids are old enough to not tear her ears if I wear something other than studs. </p> <p>Costco has lovely bouquets even by delivery if any DHs are needing a nudge on the flower side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819989 Wed, 02 May 2018 22:13:33 +0000 summerfruit 2819989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>non-cranky baby. sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819985 Wed, 02 May 2018 21:13:26 +0000 MrsSCB 2819985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent my husband a link to a pair of shoes I want (*hint hint*) so fingers crossed. On Saturday I’ll be going to a local Mother’s day tea with my son, Mom and sister. It’s something my mom is excited about. I’d love a nice meal out on mother’s day, but I’d probably have to plan it myself and I don’t know if I feel like it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819973 Wed, 02 May 2018 19:11:51 +0000 lady baltimore 2819973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to be acknowledged. DH basically ignored my birthday earlier this week, and my feelings are really hurt. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819925 Wed, 02 May 2018 16:28:36 +0000 josina 2819925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be happy with maybe a nice breakfast out, some flowers for the garden, and spending the day as a family, zoo, park, or just something fun.</p> <p>I would love a new pair of sandals though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819897 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:51:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2819897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d love to just lay out in nature somewhere with a glass of wine. If I plan it it just might happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819895 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:42:24 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2819895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to sleep in, get a pedicure, hair done, maybe go do some shopping, and then a late lunch/early dinner and drinks at home. We'll probably end up going to eat somewhere with my parents and that'll be it. I just want some alone time to distress LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819892 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:37:34 +0000 LadyDi 2819892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're traveling on Mother's Day this year but that takes the pressure off of seeing my mom or my MIL. I am hoping for a gift card to a spa and for a nice dinner or takeout when we get home that evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819888 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:31:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2819888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never really want anything special; maybe time off to get a pedicure! my younger one recently broke my necklace so im thinking of ordering an initial necklace from etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819853 Wed, 02 May 2018 11:35:49 +0000 LCTBQE 2819853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: haha, check check. I want to sleep in and be left alone for an hour or two. But my own mom is coming to visit that weekend so I will make it all about her, she will delight in it, and she will pretend to try to share it even though I hate shit like Mother’s Day. Then I won’t have to deal with it for another year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819848 Wed, 02 May 2018 11:26:37 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2819848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I feel like I’m easy to shop for but dh probably wouldn’t agree, haha. </p> <p>I’d enjoy some books off my to-read list, spa gift card, sleeping in, car detailing booked/organized by my husband. lol. Last year my husband was supposed to work but had a concussion, so he wasn’t super into celebrating but made me dinner and I got an awesome watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day-3#post-2819846 Wed, 02 May 2018 11:19:38 +0000 pachamama 2819846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I had sciatica when I was pregnant.
