My "Push Present" Wish List!!

Push Present??? Yup, I said it!!

Origin: The tradition of gift-giving to commemorate a birth has long roots from England and India. The term "push present" first appeared in a publication in 1992.

According to Linda Murray, the executive editor of BabyCenter.com, "It’s more and more an expectation of moms these days that they deserve something for bearing that baby. The guilt (for the father) really gets piled on."

Other sources trace the development of the push present to the increased assertiveness of women, allowing them to ask for a present more directly, or the increased involvement of the men in pregnancy, making them more informed of the pain and difficulties of pregnancy and labor.  But don't worry. C-section moms definitely deserve push present too!

So here's my Wish List:

 Come On? Its pretty Simple compared to carrying a precious baby for 9 months. The aches, pains, swelling, emotional roller coasters, the constant urge to pee, the forming of another human being growing and kicking around inside my womb, the disappearance of your waistline and everything else that comes with it. Aside from making mid-night runs to the store (or fridge), a push present is the least hubby can do.

 You've given him the Gift of Life!! I'm sure he'll understand!

Push Presents are a growing trend amongst Celebrity Moms, but to the average Mom its just an overall way of saying "Thank You Honey."

Here are just a few examples:

• Tori Spelling, who recently had her third baby named Liam,  received from hubby Dean McDermott a $1500 Balenciaga Giant Arena Bag as her push present.
• Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Paltrow,  received the word "mama" formed in a circle of 18K white gold and 14k yellow gold with diamonds on a Tali Gilette Mama Necklace. 
•  Jessica Simpson is set to receive a $30,000 Push Surprise Present & the list goes on.............

I THINK THEY ARE ON TO SOMETHING.........whatever the price is 

"Your Deserving of a little Spoiling Mama!"
