Someday you'll have to share with me your reasoning on this subject!<br /><br />Your mother's day tradition sounds wonderful! Glad you had an enjoyable day, and can't wait for the day you wake for your first Mother's Day with your little Button in your arms! You ARE a mommy!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086296845099744043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-27458024476552725392009-05-11T18:07:00.000-04:002009-05-11T18:07:00.000-04:00Glad your day was good.

She said, "I don't know if you're a mother or not, but you deserve a flower." I could have hugged her! Glad your impending parenthood was recognized too.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939361541926609995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-7689036095164155832009-05-11T12:01:00.000-04:002009-05-11T12:01:00.000-04:00I feel the exact same way you do.

That was so nice of your friend to call you and wish you a Happy Mother's Day, if that had happened to me it would have made the day a little easier.Nichole and Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307765216239076862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-21726658921948975702009-05-10T23:32:00.000-04:002009-05-10T23:32:00.000-04:00Good post and I soooo know what you are saying. I ...Good post and I soooo know what you are saying. I was dreading today but Jeff & I did the same thing! My Mom decided to stay home to help a relative and my mother-in-law had to go open their beach house weekend. This left Jeff & I alone to do a day and evening out on the town. There was this one moment at dinner that could have been bad for me...had the rest of the day not been so nice. The manager came over to thank us for dining and was like, so HAPPY MOTHER's DAY! Where are the kids???? Oh, I bet you are glad to have a night away from the kids, huh? I just sat there and smiled as politely as possible! He did give us a coupon for a free something on our next visit, after all. But in hindsight, perhaps somewhere without cute kids and much fan fare over Mother's Day might have been better! <br /><br /><br />So glad you and Brian had a nice day! Your day is coming soon and I agree with your old roomate...you ARE expecting!Maci Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506178512279029315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-53394002253631346262009-05-10T14:28:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:28:00.000-04:00You are one of the best moms I know.

For now. You will be more sensitive to others, partly because of your experience, but also because you are such an amazingly empathetic soul.<br /><br />It wasn't so fun for me being an older single - harder for a woman than a man for some reason. I remember once Sunday I was holding someone's baby and a very sweet man said to me "That looks so natural." I'm sure he meant that as a positive comment but for someone who wasn't even dating at the time, it stung - like I wasn't complete or valuable or whole unless I had a baby. Which I don't believe is true. Christian or not.blackbelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682743823175329828noreply@blogger.com
