What a bummer. Thanks to being preggers and the heat starting to increase… my wedding ring won’t fit my swollen fingers any more. I first noticed that it was difficult to get it on about two weeks ago and joked to my husband that I was going to need a temporary “replacement”. He laughed and went right about his day. Well this past Sunday when I went to put it on it really was difficult. Instead of forcing it I lotioned up my hands first and then slipped it on, knowing that this maneuvering would only work for so long. I had to find a replacement.
Luckily, Sunday was the day that my girlfriend and I visited the baby boutique I mentioned in my Baby Sunday post and they just happened to have adjustable rings specially intended for mommies-in-waiting. I snagged one immediately. It wasn’t cheap. The rings retail for $115.00. However, I figured it would make a great keepsake for DD someday. I’m planning to put it in a little treasure box for her that will contain things like her first tooth, first locks of hair from first hair cut, etc.
The ring is made by a company called Tiny Baubles and features an inscription inside the silver band. It is appropriately called the “Waiting Band”. There were several inscriptions to choose from and I chose the “One Love. One Life.” Waiting Band.
Again, I bought mine in a baby boutique but it is available online. I checked out the Tiny Baubles website and it looks like you can order from their online store if any of you preggers mommies (or none preggers mommies suffering with swollen fat fingers thanks to the heat) want to have one for yourself. It would also make a great gift for a pregnant girlfriend or sister.
I’ve worn mine every day and it is so much more comfortable than trying to fight to get my wedding ring on.
Other inscriptions include;
- Little One
- Miracle
- Always
