Mother's Day

Mother's Day is just around the corner.  Since this is my first 'official' Mother's Day, I thought I'd share some of the gifts that I might like to see in hopes that other husbands out there might see something special for their amazing wives.  Let's face it guys, us Mommies are pretty dam awesome and we deserve something nice on Mother's Day!

You could so go with the classic jewelry gifts like the Pandora bracelets or the Mother/Child necklaces that all of the jewelry stores sell. You could go with flowers and a card. You could go with perfume or a spa day. While these ideas are all good, they are also all typical. Try to do something different for Mom this year!


Idea from Redenvelope.com:
Personalized Milestone Necklace

I'm loving this necklace!!  It's engraved with your child's name and birth date, if you choose, and has their birthstone.  The best part about it is that you can always go back and buy more pendants if you have more children.  Use this code: SGIFTS20 :to receive 20% off your order!

Idea from Etsy.com:

I can't even begin to describe my love for hand stamped jewelry.  I think it is so cute and so unique.  I LOVE this necklace!!  Baby's name, birth date and birthstone.  It's just too adorable.  I love the Singapore chain and the gift box is included!  I love Etsy!

Idea from Etsy.com:

I am in love with this bracelet.  I LOVE pink.  It's my favorite color and everything Ashlyn has is pink.  Now, this bracelet is supposed to be for the child but I want it!  I would want her name on this bracelet with the heart charm instead of the cross.  This is something that I could give to her when she is older.

Idea from Kay.com:

This is probably not something I would actually expect my husband to buy because it is a bit expensive but I do love it.  I'm not a fan of gold but the rose gold has a pink tint to it.  The  figure-eights can be called 'infinite love' and who doesn't love diamonds?

Idea from Limogesjewelry.com:

This could be my favorite idea so far.  I love rings and these are adorable.  You can get them engraved with your child's name and birth date and the front stone is the birthstone.  What I love about these is they are dainty and stackable so you could order more when you have more kids and since we plan to have more, this would work nicely!

Idea from Shutterfly.com:

I love photo gifts.  I love to give them and to receive them.  I think this bracelet is adorable.  Why wouldn't I want to have a picture of my little angel on my wrist at all times?  Shutterfly has tons of other adorable photo gift ideas.  I might use some of them for my own Mother!

If you really want to tug at the heartstrings and do something special for Mom on Mother's Day, try something more personal that you and baby create together.  I'm not going to give any ideas on this one.  I want to see what kinds of gifts you Dads can come up with on your own.  And don't worry, Dads, I didn't forget about you.  I have a very awesome Father's Day gift planned for my husband!

I'd love know about any other cool ideas there are out there.  Mom, has your husband done something so incredibly special for you on Mother's Day?  Dads, is there a particular gift you are proud of?

Good luck to all of you Dads trying to make Mother's Day special for your awesome wives!


Ok, so I posted this and then went surfing Pinterest and found a few more ideas!  Most of these are home made so they don't have a link.

I'll take it!
I would probably melt into a puddle onto the floor.
I am loving all of the cute jewelry ideas!


Ridiculously creative!  I've never seen anything like it!


You could do this but use photos instead and make it so that it can be added to later.

I will keep adding if I find anymore cute ideas!

Found another one!

Come up with your own messages to really tug the heartstrings!

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...
