Flowers and Baby’s Birth Day - What is the Relevance?
Posted by Edie Mindell at Mar 24th, 2009 in Pregnancy
While the first six months of the year carry many pastel-colored flowers, beginning July, bright colors become the most common. Summer brings more joy and color into the picture and fall follows summer with intensity and power.
Julys birthday flower, the larkspur”or sometimes called the delphinium”denotes the sensitivity of an open heart and portrays strong bonds and attachments of the soul. The name delphinium coincides with its many dolphin-shaped flowers that are attached to the long, upright stem. The color of the flower can vary between red, yellow, purple, blue, or white, and each flower has five petals. The five petals meet and join together to form a concave flower with a spur at the end, hence the name larkspur. Larkspurs convey a lighthearted emotion and a feeling of levity.
The gladiola gives those born in the month of August a title of courageous and brave. The Latin word gladius is the direct translation for the word sword, and the gladiolas sword-shaped stems are a visual representation for that. Symbolically, the gladiola represents moral integrity and strength. An extended meaning for the gladiola makes reference to its sword-shaped stems and its ability to emotionally pierce the heart with its stunning beauty and grace; infatuation is one of the feelings that this unique flower depicts.
Septembers aster is lush, rich, and exerts wild and unconventional beauty. Asters have strong association in the mythical world with magical powers and supernatural abilities. A long, long time ago it was believed that when aster leaves were burned, their fragrance would drive away any sort of evil. Now, this flourishing flower signifies abundant love and profuse elegance.
The essence of autumn is captured in Octobers birthday flower, the marigold, which was once called Marys Gold by Christians. The marigold contains rich and intense colors that are bold and daring; brilliance and luminosity are characteristic of its breathtaking blossom. Marigolds are symbolic of affection, fondness, refinement, and grace.
November brings quite an interesting and unusual flower like the chrysanthemum, which is a symbol for the sun. Long ago, chrysanthemums are said to have held high positions in ancient cultures. The Japanese culture associates chrysanthemums with utmost perfection, and today, these flowers are linked to a long and healthy life. Chrysanthemums literally stand for optimism, hopefulness, and cheerfulness.
December is filled with good tidings and joy; the poinsettia is the perfect flower to portray the seasons greetings and good cheer. Known as the Christmas flower, the poinsettia is deep but bright red, and its petals are long and beautiful. Legend has it that poinsettias began as little weeds, but, when a humble, little girl placed these weeds on the church alter, they transformed into beautiful poinsettias! They began to bloom and exert a brilliant shade of red and carried charm and grace. This Christmas flower is the perfect symbol for merriment and joy during the holidays.
From January to December, flowers are great representations of feelings, emotions, and characteristics that can bring a special touch to your special baby shower!

Very cute. I remember the first time we played that at one of my baby showers, Hannah #5. We used a pink ribbon, not knowing whether she was a boy or girl. I had never played it before, and I thought it was quite creative.
I eyeball things pretty close to exact measure too. Try to get me to remember someone’s name, and, well, that’s a different story!
LOL
Glad you had fun, and may the LORD bless the new momma in her labouring with health and quickness.
blessings!
Can it? Absolutely. In a bad way? Not necessarily. The court is interested in what is in the best interests of the child. While the court may prefer you to get married, I would suspect stability will be FAR more important than anything else.
Proving that you are actually getting married will help your case (again, more due to the stability). A lot of people are "engaged" but never get married in these situations & the court knows that. If you aren't getting married in the short term (next year), don't lie– it will hurt you if this case is revisited.
If you are both gainfully employed, or if only one is employed and the other is able to fulfill a full time parent role will also help your case.

I’d love to have some overemotional crazy time with him. We need to schedule it at the right time of the month for me though cause I’m not batshit insane 24/7 like Beck. I’ve never seen anyone have (or at least pretend to have) an emotional meltdown like he regularly seems to have outside of pregnancy and insanely bad PMS. I wonder what his excuse is.
Preventing pregnancy is plenty reason. Abortions are expensive.
I have his name and number. However, when I call the number provided, someone answers the phone and says that he is no longer around and has left no fwding information. It seems like GoDaddy can’t contact him either. It’s weird because the domain seems to be auto-renewing every year.
