DH is so sweet!

Let me give you some background. A couple months ago I lost the diamond in my wedding ring and never found it. When DH initially bought my ring he was still in college and doing work study to pay for it so it was not that expensive. If you look really hard then you can see it. LOL Anyway we had planned before this all happened to buy me a new ring to commemorate our 10 year anniversary which is still 2 years off. In the meantime I have been wearing my plain gold wedding band.

Yesterday DH emailed me a deal. If by June 7 of next year I have lost all of my pregnancy weight and am down to the weight I was before we got married (the goal weight I set for myself) then he will buy me whatever ring I want without any limitation on cost. The reason DH did this was because I need the motivation to stay on track and to actually reach my pre-wedding weight which is totally attainable. In the past I would get lazy and give up when I was about 10 pounds shy of my goal weight. Also if we bought me a new ring now then I would pick something really small to just fit the bill and not get something that I would really want.
 
WOW Kristi! Does your DH want 2 wives!?!? LOL ;-) }(

Good for you! I'm sure you will lose the weight PLUS some! :)

we scheduled a vacation in mexico next year, because that is the only way i will stay motivated to loose all the pregnancy weight. gotta look good in a bikini...LOL
 
Go SunnyD!! A trip to Mexico sounds really great! I'm sure you will look great in your bikini.

It is always nice to have the support and love of our DH's cheering us on and encouraging us especially when we need it most.

Wendy you have done a wonderful job with your workouts throughout this pregnancy so I am sure you will look bathing suit ready by November
 
kristi- it is wonderful to have a supportive spouse behind you during pregnancy and after. since becoming pg. my dh has stepped up the attentiveness and telling me how beautiful i am (even though i feel fat). i feel very blessed to have this man in our lives.

wendy- you won't have any problems loosing all pregnancy. you've been awesome throughout this pregnancy there is no doubt you will only improve yourself. after having ds i was back to my pre-pregnancy weight in 4 mos. flat tummy and all...:)
 
Kristi, that's a lovely gesture on your DH's part. Picking out the ring of your dreams will be fantastic.

When DH and I picked out my wedding rings, almost 11 years ago, the salesperson told us that it's "customary" to give a woman a diamond ring after the birth of each child. My wedding ring set has smaller bands that fit with it, just for that purpose. Has anyone ever heard of this "custom"? We think it's just a way for them to sell more jewelry.
