The babies and I are going to be in the dispatch Sat!

They did an article on "push presents" and interviewed me and then came out for an hour last night and took TONS of pics of me and the boys! Very exciting!

:)

Re: The babies and I are going to be in the dispatch Sat!

  • That's so exciting!
    So did you get a push present?
  • Very cool!  I might have to buy a copy just to check it out :) 

    So what did you have to say about push presents and how did they find you?

  • What's a push present?
  • Cool.

    I'm with Julie though...what's a push present?
  • Cassie- yes, David designed a necklace with our birthstones
    Allison- the nest posted that they were looking for people to interview on our board a while back. I talked to "Nest Jacqueline" the nest's PR director.
    Julie- It's a present a husband gives a wife for "pushing" out the baby....or in my case...hemmoraging and then having them cut out while I was unconscious...LOL!
  • Aw that's so sweet!
  • Very sweet!  I wasn't ever really a fan of "push presents" before, but that's a really nice one and you REALLY deserved it :)
  • Your going to be FAMOUS!!! :)

     

  • Lol ... you think i'm kidding, but seriously, you will be surprised after how many people will randomly at like kroger be like oh your the one in the paper last week :p

    seriously, i've been in the paper like 2 times, and it's like that a little :p

  • Unless Kevin cut me out I should be in the article too!! :) 
  • I agree with SImi...you are going to be famous :)

    I cannot wait to show DH.  He thinks that push presents are something that I made up.  LOL!!
  • Yay! You deserve an award after that delivery!

    I was telling Josh and he was like "Does this mean I need to get you those diamond earrings you're always talking about?" LOL.

    Actually, I think the term "push present" is relatively new, but the concept isn't. For example, my grandfather gave my grandma a piece of jewerly for every kid she had  ~ 3 total. She just gave me her pearl necklace a couple years ago, which was the gift when my mom was born.
  • yay that is exciting!

    i'll have to read it online this weekend!!
  • Meghan, that's so cool!

    Shanna, what did P get you?

    I already have laid the seed with DH on this.  I told him I would like a pair of studs or a simple necklace in the baby's birthstone - something I can pass on to her when she's 18.  If she comes on time, it will be an emerald; if the comes more than 11 days early, it would be diamond.  I'm hoping for emerald, because I love them.  I already have an awesome emerald ring that I bought myself as a master's graduation gift.
  • Shanna...

     

    that's awesome you're going to be in it too! Nestie power!

  • Wow, that's exciting!  I will look for that article!
  • awesome!!!!  I can't wait to see the article and hopefully pictures of our Nestie friends!!  : )

    We're still working on my "push present".  My DH actually was very sweet and decided he'd give me
    "Trimester Gifts".  At the end of the 1st Trimester, he gave me a crock pot (LOL, romantic, I know!).  At the end of the 2nd Trimester, he bought me a very nice white gold chain  so I could wear my wedding band around my neck since I couldn't wear it on my hand anymore.   And for 3rd Trimester  (aka,  push present), it will be some sort of necklace with her initial and birthstone. 
    : )

  • The plan is for a shoe charm with her birthstone in it to wear as a necklace in white gold, but we haven't actually purchased it yet since things are so crazy. 
  • That is so exciting. I will be looking for the article.
