It got me thinking about another strange phenomenon (perpetrated by the diamond business, I suspect) called The Push Present. Women seriously get large jewlery presents as a "bonus" for pushing out the baby on the big day. Why does this make me feel icky? It also reminds me of "the right-hand ring."

Thanks, Anne!
My dear Aunt Anne (and the baby's namesake - her middle name with either be Anne or Marianna) sent me a "MommyHood" present - beautiful Zulu earings she picked up on her trip to Arizona.
