Push Present!

Some of you might have heard of the husband giving his wife a little gift when they have a baby, also known as the "push present". And while I know that Shaun thinks the idea of giving your wife a present just because she had their baby is ridiculous, he decided that sense this little boy is the last sweet baby we will be having it was worth commemorating with a little gift. So this afternoon he took me to get my push present...new wedding rings!!

When Shaun and I got engaged he gave me the most beautiful engagement ring. But when it came time to picking out a wedding band I knew that money was tight and literally choose the cheapest ring in the store. Shaun knew and appreciated this and always talked about one day upgrading my rings for a special occasion. I guess he thought the pending arrival of our son was special enough, so he took my engagement ring and had the stone reset in a new setting with a new wedding band! I was so excited and shocked at Shaun's thoughtfulness and generosity...while he is ALWAYS thoughtful he loves to sit on that checkbook. He also tried to tell me that sense this was technically my push present that I couldn't have them until I handed him our little boy. Thats a whole ten weeks away, and I told him that there was NO way that was happening. I cannot wait to pick them up next week sometime.

And for all you people out there thinking, "poor Shaun doesn't get any kind of present for dealing with a needy pregnant wife for nine months" don't start crying for the man just yet. A few weeks ago Shaun had a little "procedure" done to ensure that Lillian would be the only surprise baby we would ever be blessed with, and for being such a good sport about it he got a new electric guitar and amp.

*while I know that Shaun might not have the rock n' roll look, he actually is really good for a beginner and Lillian, Whitten and I love to listen to him play (I tried to tell him that rock starts don't wear house slippers).
