My OH is a chef so hates Mothers day, Easter, Valentines day and Christmas cause he works them all! So I didnt get a 'happy mummy to be day' either, instead i got, 'could you wake me up in half an hour' and 'i f***ing hate mothers day' haha.
LOL I feel his pain! I used to be a chef and the last mothers day I worked was 2010 in a fine dining hotel restaurant and it was HECTIC.
My nice mothers day treat started last night, after I had cooked a nice roast dinner for us all, I got to go lie down with the laptop upstairs whilst OH cleared up from dinner, loaded the dishwasher (actual washing up by hand is a bit much after THAT much cooking!), cleared up the whole kitchen and wiped down the highchair and Ella's little chair and table, bathed both the children and brought them in to say goodnight to me and for Toby to have his feed! It was lush
This morning he has changed and dressed the children and is now doing their breakfast (they gave us a lie in - they must know!). I'm gonna also see if I can get away with him doing all the pooey nappies
Later on I am going to my mum's to see her and my nan, my sis is going too with her 3 kids so it'll be a tad mental. There was a great offer on Photobox for canvas prints at £13.49 each down from £44.99 so I nabbed two of those for my mum and nan with a photo OH took of the kids in the paddling pool last summer, arms around each other, one with a picture of the two of them we had done at a professional shoot. I also had Ella do some crayoning for them each.
But the nicest present perhaps, was that last night I had been lying on my side for ages watching Casualty with my head on OH's chest, and when I lolled over onto my back I guess LO had floated towards my belly and I actually felt it kick! I wasn't sure at first but then it did it a few more time, same area. I got OH to put his hand on my belly and press a little so he might feel it and he did! I know he did cus we waited and then *kick* and we both looked at eachother and said "did you feel that?"
Sigh...
Happy Mother's Day all of us! xxx
