So, Mother's Day is coming for most of us (I know that those of you in the U.K. had it a few months ago).

How are you feeling about Mother's Day? Whether you have living children or not, do you plan on doing anything to mark the day?

As of now, I have no plans for the day.

I do want to say that I will be thinking of everyone here this Sunday. You are all such loving mothers.

No plans whatsoever.

Unlike last year - 5 weeks pregnant with Gabriel and 3 previous losses (2 in the few months prior) - I do consider myself a mother.

But so what? I have no living child, so it doesn't matter whether I feel I can lay claim to the word or no. I half wish my husband would buy me a flower or something, but I know he won't think of it.

I've always thought MD was sort of silly - another Hallmark holiday for marketing purposes. But damn I wish I could be celebrating it right now. Things are hitting hard right now.

No plans either. I do have l/c, but it hard to celebrate when you always feel that someone is missing.

I told my living son (because I know they will do it at school) that he should make any mother's day thing as a gift for his grandmother.

Well, last year I went out for Indian food with my family and my sister and her friends. Then we ditched the kids and DH and smoked some pot (something I never do) and went and saw Star Trek for Mother's Day. i drank a giant red slushy. The next week I got pregnant. This year I would like to avoid the day altogether.

Foster's been gone for 6 weeks - I can't bear the thought of doing anything for mother's day. I'm going to ignore it completely.

Actually that's not true. I told my dh that I'd like to make love on mother's day at some point, to do something life affirming instead of focusing on how Foster isn't here.
