haha I held my diamond up to the screen to see if it was close. Scott's cousin has a HUGE diamond. It looks uncomfortable, like I would constantly be scratching my own face or something.

Mine, too. Although, I don't think that getting one is "wussing out." Or, maybe it is. All I know is I was in labor for 19 hours w/ T, and thankfully, half of it was medicated.
The one thing I remember reading that stood out to me was that, "there is no awards ceremony at the end of labor. No one gets a medal for going unmedicated, there are no prizes" so do what's best for you.
I feel like looking at that chart is accurate on the round but not on the others. I feel like a 1 carat cushion looks larger than that. Anyways, her rock was huge and gorgeous and I didn't think it looked too big.

My best friend is going through this. It's not even happening to me, and I can't stand it. She is 39 weeks along and has posted a few times throughout her pregnancy about natural birth and taking hypnobirthing classes on Facebook. Every time she has posted about wanting to have drug free delivery it seems like her whole friends list has something to say about how she will change her mind, and she can never do it etc. I chose to have an epidural, but I would never tell someone they can't do it just because I didn't. It upsets me about how negative people can be when she is trying to be strong and do it naturally.

Yeah wussing out was the wrong wording. I'm not against meds, just want to try to go med free if possible. I won't be upset if I don't or if I end up having to have a c-section. It would just be nice to have some support from people instead of them thinking I'm crazy.
I'm tired of getting texts and emails saying "How's married life?" uhm I've been married 8 days it's pretty much the same as engaged life, but now we have a bunch of sweet stuff we didn't have to pay for. I know people are just being nice, and I'm being bitchy for complaining about it, but seriously I think I've had at least 40 people ask me.
Roxy, that chart is almost dead on for my ring, and looking at it, I can't imagine walking around with a 5 carat ring. I would have been drooling a little I think.

Oh jas- that sucks! I'd be so upset. I accidently left our nice camera in the car last night and today while we were at brunch. I was worried because it's not supposed to be in extreme heat. Luckily, it seems ok. Expensive cameras are awesome but they're kind of stressful.
