easter plans?

[LMS]

No poll this week, just a question. :) What are you plans for easter?

[lmfike]

Not much here. Just a quiet late lunch with my mom. And egg hunt here at home for the kids. My dad and his girlfriend hope to be in Reno getting married Easter Sunday.

Re-Anna's post about Easter on post about Easter clothes-the year Jamie was born we had Easter dinner at the house. Jamie was one week old on Easter Sunday in 1998. My dad was in town to help out with baby(he comes to help when baby is born) so he and Doug cooked dinner for Doug's Dad, Doug's grandparents, Doug's Aunt & Uncle. I did nothing but sit on couch. In the end it was the best thing we could have done. Not even a month later Doug's uncle passed away while out in his yard doing yard work.

Ya... Easter brunch is at my grandmother's. More than likely we aren't going b/c that's my actual due date and who knows if I will be prego still or have a very new baby. Everyone who will be there lives in town and I see them at least once a week so missing out on brunch isn't a big deal. If there were going to be people in town that we don't get to see very often we would definitely go. James will probably go and make an apperance so everyone can see Sevannah and she can play with her cousins.

My family is just bugging the heck out of me right now since I've been dilated and thinned for weeks they keep calling "have you had the baby yet?"; "any new twinges?"; "so when is the baby coming?"... Like I have the answer to that question. So despite that fact that it's Easter I just need a break from family. :o

Anna-Ugh on people who keep asking so is the baby here? Like you wouldn't have let them know the baby arrived. I had just the oppposite problem. No one called to see if baby is here yet. We had to call them to let them know baby had arrived. None of dh family seemed to get excited. Whereas my Dad always arrived about a week before baby to make sure I had help/ride if need be except for baby #3 but then she was planned c section and my mom lives next door.

Lorrie - Ya... my mother-in-law put out a 5 point bulletin the day I ended up having false labor so for three days all the women in his family....including his grandmother who lives in Idaho and we only talk to on Holidays (I think I've met them in person 2 times since we've been together... almost 5 yrs)... called and were like "I heard what happened... are you okay?" or "I guess you haven't had the baby b/c no one has bothered to call me!"

We keep telling them that we will call when the baby gets here so stop calling us. I think they finally got it b/c no one has called in the last week since all that happened! :)

gosh, that's how it was with me. and i got so frustrated and finally wanted to answer with "oh, my gosh! Did we forget to tell you?! I had the baby last week!" lol. like you'd forget to call people (especially people like my mil)
plus i was 2 weeks late so i had it for like a month, yuck.

[daisydoc]

Ya.. I feel like changing my voicemail and answering machine to "If you're calling to see if I've had the baby hang up and don't leave a message. We will call you when baby gets here. Anyone else... leave a message after the beep." LOL :)

LOL, i do believe i read in a parenting magazine once that that is a popular approach, LOL

Easter plans?
Having dinner with my parents. Dan has to work that day.
Not sure what is happening during the day.

I won't be around. I feel terrible. Chad and I had been wanting to go on a little vacation to escape the rain. He called me one day and said we can go, but I have to go this weekend, because of work so I made a total rash decision and we are leaving Lucca with my MIL. I totally forgot is was Easter weekend and I was really looking forward to it since Lucca is starting to understand things. So we will be in Mexico for a long weekend. Lucca will be here with Grandma. I need to get over it or I won't enjoy my trip. I will let it bother me the entire time I am gone.

[LMS]

no need to let it bother you. you can celebrate easter early... OR when you get back :)

[daisydoc]

How old is Lucca? Sevannah is 2 and is sort of starting to understand the "holidays" but she really doesn't. She ran away from the Easter Bunny in the mall! :) It was so funny. She wouldn't get back down and walk again until he was out of site... LOL You'll have many more Easters to celebrate when they truly understand and get the concept. Enjoy Mexico!! I'm jealous!

[alowe]

Yeah, I think we will do it when we get back. I just feel bad because I completely forgot now Chad's mom will be down here with just Lucca on Easter, but she says she doesn't mind. She lives in Portland so she doesn't get to see her much anyways. Lucca will be two on the 22nd. She doesn't really understand I was just looking forward to hiding her Easter basket and helping her hunt for it. She definitely understands presents. Anyways hope you all have a Happy Easter. Yeah, Lucca is deathly afraid of Santa Claus. I am not even going to try Easter pictures with the Easter bunny. Thanks for the support.

Both the grandmas used to do that before our youngest was born. My husband *loved* to answer the phone and tell them things like, "Oh no, you didn't get the message?! We were wondering why you weren't at the hospital!" <g>
