We had a baby two days ago. Mothers day is tomorrow...?

Having had a premature baby myself.. TRUST me, I know how hard this time is. No.. I don't think you totally blew it. You have been under a lot of stress yourself, and worried about all of it.

If you feel like you have to, take a few FAST minutes to head for the grocery store, where I'll bet it takes 15 minutes to find a single flower, and perhaps something totally scrumptious like cake, or whatever you know she loves. A simple handwritten note that says how MUCH you love her, and how proud you are that she is the mother to your kids (and IOU for a whatever?) will mean the world to her.

Its a special time for both of you, not just the mother end.. and know that the HONEST WORDS of love cannot be bought anywhere.

Blessings to you and all your family..

My husband has always said I am not his mother..lol So when our kids were little I never got anything but now they are older...its great and they get me wonderful gifts. Why not get her a card celebrating mothers day and make sure you mention what a great mother you know she is going to be for your child. That would be enough I reckon. If you get a chance to get out to get her something get her a voucher for a pamper. Shes gonna feel like she needs one after the hospital. Dont in any circumstances buy her any type of house cleaning equipment for this or any future mothers days. That never goes down well. lol Congrats and good luck.

How about running to the store to get a bouquet of flowers....OR make her a nice home cooked meal tomorrow. You and your 2 yr old could even make her breakfast in bed-nothing fancy but the thought will make all the difference.

Trust me as a mom of three with a very busy life it makes us feel good to know we are thought of on special occasions. I understand that you have been through a lot lately but showing her you care (after all she has been through the last 3 wks) will be much appreciated. If you want it to be a surprise maybe a family member or friend could stop and get something for you...keep it simple but do try and do something to show her you care.

First of all she's not even going to notice. I had my first on the 11th and it wasn't even part my consciousness. She's already got the best mommy's day present you could have given her. Get her something in a few weeks, maybe a nice piece of jewelry with stones to represent the kids or arrange a maid to come in for a few months to help with the deep cleaning around the house.

help your two year old make a homemade card from both of your crayons glue and paper is all you need. feed the baby tomorrow and let her sleep in and breakfast in bed you can handle all that if you are not a first time dad and it will be more special than any gift you could buy

make her a nice cuppa, tell her you love her and that being at home with her and your 2 kids was more important than rushing to the shops to get her a token present. then a few months down the track if you've had time, buy her a nice card and tell her how special she is to you, that you don't need official occasions to tell her you love her. and don't worry what everyone else thinks.

Good luck, sounds to me that her OB made a MaJOR mistake not going with a Csection, right now you have to put the problem in the hands of the doctors and pray to God that these doctors do the right things.

order some flowers to be delivered or have someone bring some over for you. after the hard birth she still needs to know that shes special.

Gifts don't mean anything, so you are in good shape. If you have an understanding and loving partner, you shouldn't worry.

yes u should get her a mothers day present. she gave birth to a child for you. the least you could do is get her a present
