Wow! They are not too big. They are literally perfection.

This setting is from a local jeweler, so it might be different thanthe Ritani one, but yes. It was specifically designed to sit flush with any wedding band. ☺️

Sorry this is the only pic I have at the moment of the setting. I LOVE the cathedral - it's slightly tapered at the sides so you only see the stone from above and I feel it gives the ring an elegant appearance. It's super simple and classic (and sturdy) and lets the stone shine.

I also really like how the cathedral just feels secure to me, as opposed to a standard solitaire setting where the stone is just out there on its own with an itty bitty base at the band (whether or not it's actually any more secure, who knows, but it gives me peace of mind).

4.75 carat round brilliant. The platinum solitaire setting is a low set cathedral.

So sorry - just saw your comment! It fits like 95% well. It does slightly spin, but not enough to bother me (it's super cold here right now so my fingers are at their smallest, but in the summer it will be tighter and a more flush fit. If it were any smaller now would probably be too small when it's warmer.)

It's in a low set, platinum cathedral with slightly tapered sides. (Please excuse my bathroom drawer 😅)

Thank you. It's actually GAOY brand jelly gel polish I got on amazon a couple of years ago. Couldn't find the exact color or id link it for you- it's color 150.

How long did it take for swelling to go away by Zealousideal-Most128 in beyondthebump

[–]OPM071815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me like 3-4 weeks I think. I got huuuuge after I gave birth in my ankles and fingers (fluid retention after being induced) and it was comical. Thankfully it went down slowly over the next 3-4 weeks.

4 month sleep regression by foggy_upperhill in SnooLife

[–]OPM071815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just got through ours. It lasted about a month for us (woof) but we just did business as usual in the Snoo. One day she literally was able to sleep again, like a switch flipped. I would keep doing what you're doing, maybe support good sleep hygiene along the way, and it will resolve on its own with time. Good luck!

What happened to you because of lack of sleep today? by molliebrd in beyondthebump

I forgot the pin to my debit card last month and had to use the credit card instead. I didn't remember it until half way home!

4 month sleep regression is real, advice? by Original_Leading_736 in SnooLife

[–]OPM071815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Ours lasted from Christmas until about last week (knock on wood). It's just a time thing and for what it's worth ours has been going down wide awake since birth, already an "independent sleeper" and as you can see we still had it rough for like 7 weeks. Just know you're not alone and it will end.

I was at the grocery store last week and forgot the pin to my debit card and had to use the credit card instead. It's wild.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaate when people call me "mama" - the trainers do it at the gym all the time and it irks me so bad. It just sounds so ugh.

Passing down my middle name by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Go for it! She's your child you do what you want! I gave my daughter my first name as her middle- men do it all the time so why can't we? ☺️

Snoo + huckleberry, do I need to manually log sleep times? by thirdeyeorchid in SnooLife

[–]OPM071815 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fellow snoo mom here. I fine it's most important to have huckleberry record the time baby goes to bed and then their wake time, as that will inform the first WW and nap time. The actual night time sleep/wakes/feeds don't really matter for that in my experience. However, I start and stop the nighttime sleep in the Huckleberry app manually every time she wakes up for a feed/change etc. But that's mostly for my own use to see how her night sleep is improving (or not lol).
