We have a tradition in our house. When a baby is born, mommy gets a piece or set of jewelry in his/her birthstone. We plan to give said jewelry to that child for some right of passage to still be determined....16th birthday, graduation from high school, college graduation, etc. Adeline has a lovely Amethyst necklace and earring set. Every time I wear it, I think about her coming into the world and how blessed I am to be entrusted with her care.
At my midwife apt on Tuesday, I was 4 cm dilated! AND the baby's head is even with my pelvis (station 0 for those who understand such things). I started getting excited for an April birth (DIAMONDS) instead of May, but seeing as it is May 1 and I am still pregnant, it looks like emeralds will be the stone for this little one.
It could be any day. Keep praying!

I love the idea of jewelry to celebrate the birth of a child...think it would work for a son, too? I guess it would be something he could share with a future wife...Anyway, waiting to hear the great news!

Emeralds are beautiful!

I think emeralds are beautiful!
Praying for you and can't wait to hear the news! You're almost there!!!!
Yay - you're making progress! I, too, was kind of hoping for diamonds last year, but I love my emerald birthstone in my mother's necklace now.
Praying for all of you and can't wait to hear some news!
You should have more babies in February -- Amethyst is one of the cheapest birthstones! :) But emeralds are very pretty too! Can't wait to see HIM (again, I'm predicting boy) soon. Or her. For the record, I'll be equally excited about a girl!
Looks like it will be a May baby for sure! Hope you are doing well and hanging in there...can't wait to hear the news!
what a sweet tradition. i love it!
Love the idea...emeralds are beautiful too! Praying for you, can't wait to see your new blessing!
That is a really cool tradition to have, Lynn. Hope you're surviving these last few weeks. I can't believe the time is almost here!!!
