“Women love romantic symbolism …”
All the more reason to make the “push present” a college savings account for the kid, not diapers or some short-term crap like that, but something that tells her you’re all-in and looking out for the family’s long-term interests.
A newborn college fund presumes a two-parent family and by extension a healthy marriage for the next 18 years. She couldn’t possibly miss the symbolism. It’s the next best thing to a second wedding ring.
And don’t come home with a new set of golf clubs, either.
