Do you guys remember my family ring? Brady designed a beautiful ring for me years ago, and we add a strand of gold to it with every child we have. We usually get on it pretty quickly after a baby is born, but after Solly, we just didn’t get there for a good long while. We finally brought it in at the beginning of December, which was a terrible move, considering it was the Christmas season. Because of that, I didn’t have it through all of December. I picked it up in the new year, all fresh, with a new bright white gold strand for Solly.
But then my finger reacted weirdly to it! I don’t know why, but it broke out a bit and I had an open red sore on my finger. It hurt too much, so I stopped wearing it. And then we lost our baby, and that opened up a whole new can of worms. While I don’t plan to confuse the rest of the world and tell them we have one more kid than those they can see, we do. Theo is a member of our family. But in a different way. We wanted to find a way to add him to the family ring, but were unsure how.
Well folks, its finally done 🙂 And I love it!
We added a teeny tiny little diamond along the side in representation of our baby up in heaven. Its exactly how I pictured it 🙂 I’m so so happy with the turnout. It does my heart good to have him on my ring with the rest of our children.
Its a good day. I’m happy to have my ring back. And I have new hair! But I’ll save that for tomorrow’s post 😉 Have a great Saturday!
It’s very beautiful!! Love it and what a great idea with the diamond! So great!😊
but what did you do about reacting to it?
Our jeweller mentioned that it looked like the new strand of gold was likely touching my finger directly, and he says some people’s skin reacts, so he just repositioned it higher up into the ring. It doesn’t make total sense, since the majority of the ring is made of white gold, but we’ll see, anyway. Hopefully whatever he did works!
