Well, the inevitable has happened...remember how I mentioned a few posts ago that I was so happy to still be wearing my wedding rings this far along?? Well, Saturday night we were sitting in bed and, well, I have a bad habit of playing with my rings (pulling them on and off)...and I suddenly realized that they weren't going to come off. Well, I got the engagement ring off pretty quickly with some painful persuasion...but had to hold my hand above my head for a few minutes to maneuver the band off.
So, they have been put away...so sad....BUT, since I was able to wear them so far into the pregnancy I know I'll be able to wear them again quickly after Freddie's born. I was so scared last time that they would never fit again, but that was obviously a silly thought.
Well, we pulled out the blue light special ring I had bought last time, only to discover that cheap (probably not even real meta) rings don't stay silver looking over 2 years locked up...so I wore it to church on Sunday (luckily I don't think anyone noticed)...and this afternoon Karyl and I headed to Kohl's to get another cheap-o ring. Karyl was so cute, and so excited to help me choose a "place holder" ring. I told her it would be quick, and I even surprised myself...we were in and out of there in less than 5 minutes!! I found the cheap rings, found the first one in my larger size that was just a band (don't need a gaudy fake jewel...) and hit the checkout line.
So here I sit, with my new ring...it was only $10!! I know, most people probably think I'm nuts for spending that to replace my rings for like 2 months, but I just hate walking around pregnant and not having a wedding ring (and I hope I don't offend anyone that's not married with children) but I just feel like people are starting at me when I'm pregnant and not wearing a ring. $10 is a fair price to pay for peace of mind =)
Oh, and on a side note...it's Monday night and there should be a new episode of The Big Bang Theory on tonight!!! YAY!!!!!!! Redemption!!!
