So probably rings or something.<br /> Obviously the baby is the point of the exercise, and it's own reward, but at the end of the day my body ceased being entirely mine 6 months ago, gets further and further from normal every day for the next 3 months, and if breast feeding works out properly, still won't be fully mine for another 6 months after that! That's 15 months, of no wine, no hair dye, no comfy sleep... It's not that you need to be 'paid' a gift for having babies, but it's a little treat to acknowledge that you are doing something big and special and damn difficult for your hubby/family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-83339 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:19:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 83339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: Yup, we’re having a girl. I had never heard the name Grayson before, and it’s the name of the town where most of my mom’s family originally comes from, so we sort of liked it for that. I also like unisex names for girls, and I think Gray is such a cute nickname.</p> <p>And yes, I did get 1 massage – so heavenly! Actually going this Saturday for a “mellow mama” spa package – foot soak, pedicure, mani and hour massage…can’t wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-83329 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:05:43 +0000 ecogirl 83329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crisark that is how I feel about push presents too! Good for any girl getting them though :)</p> <p>Yoursilverlining Thank you! How funny we could have the same name. Will you also be having a girl? I know the name is a bit unisex. Have you done your massages? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-83316 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:55:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 83316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: welcome back!

Love the name!</p> <p>And I didn't get a "push present" because my children were my present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-83312 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:53:32 +0000 ecogirl 83312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are all so sweet!

Our little Grayson arrived two weeks ago and we just could not be happier. Little Liam is a bit unhappy with the whole idea haha but we will work on that. I did not get a push present which I did not want anyway. We did get Liam a gift though to soothe his grumpiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-82311 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:57:34 +0000 pastemoo 82311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: Aww. </p> <p>I won't get one because I never heard of it before about a year ago, and I would never be able to explain it to my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-20134 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 09:41:53 +0000 williamsh2 20134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband bought me a necklace from Tiffany's with my LO's initial. It was exciting to see the little blue box but it turned out that the necklace didn't fit around my neck because of all of the fluids I had had. : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-20058 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 06:03:29 +0000 cupcakemama 20058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew my husband had no idea what a push present was. I figured if I had to tell him it just wasn't the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-19993 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:18:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 19993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband just found out what a push present was a couple of days ago. He rolled his eyes and said no, haha. So if I do get a push present I will be really surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-19979 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:43:01 +0000 lemondrop 19979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yeah! Since he is coming so close to Christmas and my 30th birthday I'm angling for a new laptop to combine all three events... but as a little trinket, something from here: <a href="http://www.thevintagepearl.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thevintagepearl.com/</a><br /> with his name on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-19801 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:50:41 +0000 winniebee 19801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I'll get a "push present" per se, but my birthday is a few months later and I am jonesing for some diamond stud earrings. I think a combined bday gift/push present sounds like a great idea : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-19793 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:45:37 +0000 MsMamaBear 19793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing, unless you count him helping a lot with the baby while I recovered post c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-18489 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:05:43 +0000 ecogirl 18489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My children are my push present. I have many material things and I almost would be offended if he gave me one for giving birth to my child. I guess because he is always giving me jewelry and flowers and things it would seem empty to me. </p> <p>Then again I don't push so maybe that's why :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present/page/2#post-18488 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:03:23 +0000 MH.Abroad 18488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told DH that I want this beautiful necklace I found that's a tree, with spaces to add birth stones like leaves for each new child. So he can buy it for me for an anniversary present, and then buy me a new stone for each push present. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-18449 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:43:32 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 18449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get one, and I didn't feel like I could ask for anything since Baby Boy was born so close to our anniversary/DH's birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-18445 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:35:13 +0000 cyndistar3 18445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Killer b: I totallt just read what you got.

We don't really have a lot of money for extra gifts, so I'd rather save what we do get for buying a new car soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-18413 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:10:48 +0000 torontomommy 18413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't ask for one nor did I want one. The best present I could have ever gotten was my beautiful daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-18409 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 10:48:19 +0000 autumnlove 18409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think my DH knows what a push present is...so I don't expect one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-13463 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:16:25 +0000 L2sweetpea 13463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my husband not to get me one because the baby was our present...but he didn't listen. He got me a tablet computer so that we would have easy access to the internet and games while we were in the hospital. I wasn't opposed to it once he gave it to me, and we enjoy it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-13351 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:03:02 +0000 Killer b 13351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheMCMom, Yup, that's exactly what it is! I don't know if I'll do rooms, but I'd love to do my kitchen cabinets, or at least the doors. And smaller stuff like furniture. It's on my Christmas list, so we'll see if Santa is good to me this year :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-push-present#post-10874 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:59:52 +0000 junebugmama 10874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually picked out a pair of diamond hoops. I can't wait to have them :) </p>
