Push Presents

Friday night we decided we needed exercise (doctor’s orders!), so we (OK, I – Jenny couldn’t finish hers because Brenden is pushing her stomach into her brain) ate massive burritos at Chipotle (you need fuel for exercise, right?) and then walked Vista Ridge Mall. Along the way we stopped at Zale’s to get Jenny’s finger sized. I have read that today’s wise husbands give their wives a gift, known by some as a push present, when their babies are born. Sort of a thank-you-for-continuing-my-genetic-line thing. Anyway, I hope to get my wife a ring she’s been wanting for a while, and now I know what size to get. The ring is simple but unusual and very her – a white pearl with small sapphires on each side set in white gold to match her engagement ring. The real reward will be holding Brenden for the first time, but I wanted to do something nice for her after all her hard work.
