I'm so sad to report that my wedding ring is off. = ( I just couldn't make it the whole 9 mos. I'm approximately 63 days from giving birth and my fingers were not looking good and my ring finger was really bothering me. The skin was puffing out around the edges of the ring. It looked like my skin was growing in to the ring. Pretty gross.
How did I get the ring off?
I held my hand up for about 45 minutes to try and get the swelling down. (I propped my elbow on my desk.) Then I applied my super greasy hand therapy lotion all over my hands. I gave it a few tugs and no luck. After that one of my boss's suggested I go in to the bathroom and soap it up. It took time and it was painful but it eventually came off. Now I have this strange mark there where the ring was. =(
Since the ring is engraved "May These Words Never Be Seen" (I had planned on never taking it off) I'm going to hide it away so they're still not seen. It's not exactly the same but kinda. After I took the ring off I told Eric of my plan to hide the ring. Eric said, "If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound even if no one is there to hear it?" Huh? I don't know what that means but it made me feel better.
In the mean time I'm going to find a super cheap wedding ring alternative to wear.

Sadly I have my friends fake wedding band on (and have for 6 months) because I've gained so much weight that my beautiful wedding ring doesn't fit......and I'm not pregnant. I hope to be back in my wedding band by the time you're back in yours!!!
Love you--and I'm enjoying watching baby Jones grow through your blog.
