Pregnancy is a journey that takes your body, and that of your baby, through a multitude of stages. The Nine Month Necklace from J. West Originals is a special creation designed to mark each one of those stages with a beautiful gemstone. At the beginning of each month there is a new gemstone to add. Each gemstone was selected for its metaphysical properties and represents a unique milestone your baby will achieve during that month. The Nine Month Necklace is crafted by hand and includes such beautiful gemstones as citrine, pearl and amethyst.
Designed by a midwife, the Nine Month Necklace makes a perfect gift for yourself, or the expectant mom in your life (hubbies, are you listening?). Available in white gold, yellow gold, or sterling silver, the Nine Month Necklace is a beautiful heirloom that helps you celebrate your journey while marking precious memories. In years to come it can then be passed down to your children as a special keepsake to remind them of their bond with you. Available in silver and gold, prices for the Nine Month Necklace range from $148 - $288.

very neat
Would love to give this to my daughter who is due in January. Please count me in. Thanks!!
Just had a daughter in February, what a lovely keepsake to hand down to her! During pregnancy (and now that she's here) I keep a journal and write an entry on the 4th day of every month to write down some of the things that are going on in her and our lives...
This would be so perfect for my niece. Thanks for a great giveaway
The journey of pregnancy to me is one of celebration every month. I never understood my body until pregnant and every month, there is some new facet to celebrate about it, from the first kick to the closeness you share with your husband, even through the labor to bring your child into the world and finally to nurse your child and enjoy them. It's the most wonderful time in your life. This necklace is breathtaking and really does express the celebration of the journey to me. Thank you so much!
Plaster belly molds!
I celebrate with pedicures!

very creative idea
I've never thought of jewelry as a way to "journalize" your pregnancy. But this is beautiful. My sister is pregnant with twins. This would be great for her. Thank you for the chance.
On my second time around, I am just enjoying being more relaxed abt the whole process now that I know a little more of what to expect on the journey. Im also trying to spend lots of quality time with my little one before another comes along to shake things up.

I have a friend who is due in December with her first. She lost a baby last year and is understandably apprehensive about this pregnancy because of it. I think this necklace would be nice for her to celebrate the little life growing inside of her instead of being scared that she is going to lose this baby too.

This is pretty, I would love to pass it on to my daughter,
What a great idea. I would love to pass it along to my daughters when they are pregnant. We don't really do much to celebrate the journey but it would a neat thing to start. Thanks katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
I had my eyes on this piece when I was prego, {just had little man 4 weeks ago} but I know so many pregnant women who would love this! I spent my pregnancy months preparing my other children for baby #3, spoiling them!

Well, we aren't doing anything really special per se, but we do a lot of mental planning and discussing of house renovations, which my husband and I really enjoy doing together.

so nice! I honestly can't have anymore... but would love to keep this for when my daughter(s) take their turn
DOVE ice cream is my reward!
I would love to have this for my sister in law. She lost her baby a few months ago at 20 weeks, and they want kids so much. I know they will try again soon, and this would be a wonderful boost for her to have!
I would love to win this for dd she would love it.
Beautiful! I celebrate my pregnancies by taking lots of belly photos. Thanks for entering me.
I lvoeo the iea of this. We just bought a journal and tried to keep all the things that were changing and our excitement written down.
Now that I'm in the 2nd trimester, I'm celebrating my pregnancy by eating foods that actually have flavor again! That necklace is very pretty. I covet it...
COOL!!!
Hello! I have two children and would have loved this necklace. I would love to win it for my niece who is expecting her first. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

Wow.. this would be such a neat way to celebrate my pregnancy. I am 4 weeks today (just found out)... We have a healthy perfect 2 year old already... so we are so excited to give him a sibling. This would definitely be a piece that would be passed from generation to generation.. I absolutely love it and would love to have it throughout this pregnancy!
My daughter is pregnant with her third...hopefully this time will be a girl....would love this to help her celebrate...
I'm not sure if I'm celebrating my pregnancy... I do enjoy writing an update whenever something fun happens :)
Celebrating every month with anticipation! This necklace is beautiful and such a lovely idea.

I am pregnant and I want this! Please enter me! Thanks!
I journal pregnancy so far, by taking pictures of my belly each month. Month 10 is scary! Haha. This is a beautiful necklace, and would add one more thing to look forward to throughout the pregnancy. (Especially when the due date seems so far away!)
How beautiful! I love to journal letters to my little one, so that one day he'll know how I felt before he arrived. I also give myself a little time to just sit quietly and enjoy the bliss of pregnancy.
princess3sah@cs.com
I look forward to each stage of pregnancy. I totally agree that each stage has special developments and meanings--- from 7 weeks when we first saw his little heart beating, 14 weeks we heard his little heart beating, at 16 weeks I first felt him moving inside me, and 20 weeks we found out the gender and learned he was a healthy growing boy...the excitment was daily!
Thank you for the chance to win this amazing necklas!! :)
I spend my pregnancy months enjoying the difference the pregnancy is from the previous ones. They are all different and I love it.
What a beautiful idea to begin a cherished family tradition with!
What a beautiful idea to start a cherished family tradition with!
Thank you!
We are enjoying it by taking plenty of pictures and shopping together for baby items and letting our other kids pick out things for the baby as well. Every week we look online at a website that shows how the baby now looks and the stage of development. The kids love that.
I celebrated my pregnancy by journalling and taking lots of pictures! I'm not pregnant now, but we plan on having at least one more so it would be fun to put this away and save it for a year when we start the adventure over again! :)
I'm not pregnant yet, but this is such a great way to celebrate a pregnancy. I'd love to have something to pass down that is so special! jeepcutie82 at msn dot com
We are trying so hard to have another child and this would be a wonderful way to celebrate the miracle if we are able to concieve again.

very neat necklace and the idea with it!! I celebrated my pregnancy by keeping one of those pregnancy journals where you can make notes on how you feel and read about how the baby is developing each day. It was a neat way to really experience the whole miracle. Thanks for the fun giveaway! amguely (at) gmail.com
As we are paper pregnant through adoption, we follow our daughter's development through babycenter and imagine the milestones such as sitting that she may be doing. We are anxiously awaiting our travel call. Thanks for the chance!
This would be wonderful to pass down generation to generation. I've celebrated by personalizing my daughter's room. I hand made all her bedding and decorations.
I am celebrating by going to a massage every month!
It's taken me 10 years to get pregnant so we are celebrating! We haven't told anyone outside of our immediate family because it is to early. I love the gemstones on the necklace. It would make a wonderful heirloom for a child.
never been but 10 years of INFERTILITY and ADOPTION counts for alot Son is already going to be 12 July 31 the 11 years to make it all happen took so long and so painful and so expensive and this 12 years went so fast how...
A journal was my favorite pregnancy journey. I would love to give this necklace to a good friend.
The 2nd time around the "journey" seems to be about enjoying the ride and noticing how individual + unique the experience is. I thought I knew what it was like to be pregnant after my first pregnancy. I say now I only knew what it was like to be pregnant with that baby. The second baby has her own way. I love it. The necklace too. Thanks!
What a WONDERFUL idea. This is very beautiful and classy. Definately a great gift or keepsake. I would be greedy and keep for myself though. My hubby and I tried for 13 long hard years to concieve and finally our twins were born last November, I would have to KEEP it if I win it.. lol.. (BTW I kept a personal journal from me to them, and I also kept another one that I would ask hubby, family members and close frineds to write in it too and passed it around during the baby shower. It was really nice to see how many great words of both encouragment and advise was collected).
I would love to win this for a good friend of mine who is pregnant with her first child, and enjoying every minute. Great giveaway, thanks!
I wish I would have done something to celebrate my first pregnancy, but I know better the next time.
i love the idea!! there are so many great things to pregnancy! i love feeling my baby kick the most!
Oooo...that's such a lovely piece. To celebrate the journey of pregnancy, I'd scrapbook all the events and take notes of the little details in a journal.

We have 2 girls and 2 boys, this baby girl is the tie breaker. We celebrate daily by enjoying the baby's movements, eating what mommy craves and watching our children love on my belly. We made a countdown chain for the baby's arrival and the kids cut a chain off monthly it's displayed on the wall along with pictures the kids colored for the baby. We celebrate this journey by enjoying each day and looking forward with much anticipation to the first moment we hold her!

would love to win this for dd she would love it.
What a beautiful idea!
I'd love to give this to my sister - expecting her first and due Jan 13th. For my, having been pregnant three times, it's best to relax and enjoy every moment..
Very nice idea
So many new things out for the new Moms. Wish they had them when I was child-bearing. But they have them for the next generations! Thank you for this giveaway. Precious.
I just had a baby and wish I had slowed down and appreciated it more. There is nothing like having the baby in your belly.
A great idea and wonderful way to celebrate a fabulous event.
My baby is 4 months old so I'd LOVE to win this for my sister who is only 9 weeks along. What a beautiful gift this would make to celebrate. Each day, each week, each month is a milestone. I had a weekly update emailed to me at work and then I'd forward it on to my hubby with comments to his work. We loved sharing the progress together. Thanks so much for the contest!
that is beautiful. i would pass this down to my child as a keepsake. i am celebrating my pregnancy by taking better care of myself than ever before.
I am enjoying my second pregnancy in a different way than my first...not being too anxious for it to be over, enjoying thinking about how my new baby is developing over time, not worrying as much. With my last pregnancy, we took a weekly picture of my belly...maybe this time we'll do a monthly picture. Thanks for the opportunity! That necklace is a nice idea.
super smart idea. must have been a woman that thought of this :)
We just found out that we are expecting! I would LOVE to win this...
I think this is great!

Being pregnant is definitely worth celebrating. I celebrate by keeping my toenails painted. It makes me feel pretty, even though I cannot see my feet!
THANKS! I love this lovely necklace!

My pregnancy days are long past, but my daughter-in-law and son hope to be expecting shortly. She's in the USAF and they're stationed in Japan, so it's hard to find ways to celebrate special milestones with them - what a great gift idea this would be.
Just enjoying ever moment
I plan to celebrate my next pregnancy by having a placenta print done (I have a friend who does them) and blogging all through the 9 months to keep a record. Last time I had a countdown calendar that told me facts about DD's development every day and I made notes about my experience on it. I may do that again too, as I treasure that little calendar and I'm sure my daughter will. I'm not pregnant yet (we are waiting a little longer to try) but I would love one of these for next time!
After struggling with infertility and loss, I am in constant wonder and gratiture at getting to experience somethin I thought I never would.
How pretty.
I'm celebrating my pregnancy by sleeping alot...ahhhh! I'm in my early stages and chasing a toddler around - boy am I tired.
One of my best friends just found out she was pregnant. I would love to give her this gift so she can celebrate each passing month.

This is a great idea. After having difficulty getting pregnant this would be very special to add a pendant every month.

At 41 I am setting off on what will most likely be my last pregnancy. I plan to enjoy every minute of it as it is an incredible journey. All my best memories revolve around pregnancy and my children, it is the magic of life.
I admit that I don't do a lot to celebrate the journey. I have AWFUL morning sickness but as soon as the pregnancy is over it is easier for me to look back with wonder.
This is amazing! My sister just found out she is expecting her first and I would love to give her this!
Okay, I'm not really entering because I'm not pregnant. Just wanted to say that this is a beautiful necklace. I've never seen anything like it.
My niece is in her fourth month and is just enjoying being pregnant. We can't wait for the little one to arrive.
We celebrate by being so thankful for such a precious gift. Life! I'd love to have this for my next pregnancy and like others, pass it down to my daughters or daughter-in -law.
I have been really cherishing every change this time around - I am hoping this will be my last pregnancy. Every kick, every hiccup and yes, every pound.
I love this necklace. What a beautiful idea. Prenatal yoga helps me slow down and celebrate my pregnancy.
What a wonderful keepsake! #2 is due very soon, and I would love to pass this down to her.
I celebrate this pregnancy by celebrating the little milestones, taking lots of pictures, and of course treating my self to a little ice cream when the craving arrives! :)
I'm at AOL.com...
They are lovely.
I am finished having my own children...they are all grown and having families of their own. I would love to win this to give it to my dd who just had a child recently and is hoping to have another next year. This is a wonderful time in her life and I like to celebrate with her.
I don't have a way to celebrate it but it will be over in October. This is beautiful!
My close friend is pregnant for the second time, after a painful stillbirth loss of her first baby. Every month that her pregnancy is healthy this time around is an answer to all of our prayers. We are counting each month, eagerly awaiting the birth, and this necklace would be a beautiful symbol of that.
We are celebrating by spending time together doing things we love.
I would love to win this for my sister.She waited so long to become pregnant,and I think this would be a wonderful way for her to celebrate every memory!
What a novel idea! My sister-om-in-law is pregnant with her first and this would be a great gift for her! Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!

I'm scrapbooking my belly photos!
this is beautiful, we are currently TTC and hoping to get pregnant soon. This would be such a "boost" for me, thank you.
I lost my first pregnancy at 10 weeks on Nov of 07. Since then we've struggled with infertility and have discovered a possible reason for the miscarriage and infertility. I'll be going in for surgery next week, and then we'll be able to start trying for a baby again. I say all that to say...when/if I do get pregnant again, I will treasure every single moment! Our hearts long for a baby and we will not take it for granted when/if God blesses us with another pregnancy! Thanks so much!
I would give this to my daughter who gave me the joy of a lovely granddaughter recently. I loved being pregnant with my girls and so did she....
journaling
By keeping a journal and reflecting as often a I can
My niece is pregnant with her first child, and I would love to give her something sooo gorgeous and something that she can hand down to her children.
The way she celebrates being pregnant is by having her hubby give her lots of foot massages :)
keeping a blog with pictures is such a wonderful gift for our little one.
journalling
I wish I had a pregnant wife... or just a wife...
I love this necklace, this is a great necklace for all mothers.
This time around, with baby # 4, I'm celebrating by reveling in my shape.
This is likely the last baby, so I'm enjoying being as round and ripe as fruit, and determined to love my post-baby shape, whatever that may be, and to giving myself a break and honoring the incredible power of my body to nurture this new life.
This is so beautiful. Great gift for my niece
i get alot of foot massages by my husband and im going to get a belly cast!
I am celebrating the journey of motherhood once again through my daughter in law. It's a joy to see her experience all those wonderful things that a baby brings.I just can't wait!
by getting the room ready
got through the journey with extra naps and ice cream!
This would be perfect for my niece who is pregnant with a little boy. I agree with the other poster who said this would be a nice idea to pass down to each generation of women. Thanks for the giveaway!
I wuold love to have this so i could start!
I would love to have this so i can start
great prize and I want to win
My best friend is 19 and pregnant. Scary right? she is a very spiritual person and this necklace would be a great way to make her feet good about this trying time. She could never afford this on her salary from the gas station.

To celebrate my last pregnancy, my husband would trace my belly onto a sheet of craft paper after my doctor's appointments. It was a great reminder of where I started and how much growing actually went on. It is a special keepsake that I will always treasure.
I would love to give this to my sister as a congratulatory gift once she becomes pregnant. She had a misscarraige a few months ago, and is activly trying to become pregnant again. I think this would mean alot to her. Thanks for the opportunity! - countrygirl1823@aol.com
We just got to hear our little ones heartbeat! Such an exciting time. A beautiful heirloom.
i take a belly picture every month to remember how fast our little one is growing.
By relaxing as much as possible.
My son is 7 months and a half. This necklace would be a great reminder of how happy and beautiful I felt while carrying him.

My husband is a photographer, and we're doing the weekly pregnancy photo where I stand in my sports bra and shorts and he takes a profile pic. It's been so much fun to flip through the photos quickly and see how much we've grown. I think "OH! So THAT'S why my back hurts!" lol This necklace is wonderful, thank you for your hard work on the blog! :)
I am currently 29 weeks pregnant with my second child. I am so grateful to experience this and just enjoy everyday to the fullest. I love being pregnant and showing off my belly. What a special contest! Good luck to all.
Actually I am celebrating my daughter-in-law's journey by sharing in their excitement and spending time together on the weekends. Thank you for the opportunity to win! This is something I would love to pass down to my daughter when the time comes!
I have celebrated two pregnancies so far by wearing tighter shirts instead of the frumpy maternity wear to show off my bump. kristie2 (at) comcast.net
my daughter in law keeps a journal but this would be wonderful!!
This is a wonderful idea! I just had my baby two months ago but I kept a journal and tried to keep track of everything while I was pregnant so I could pass it down to my baby when she was older. I also loved shopping for prego clothes. lol They're so cute nowadays!

It's gorgeous! With my last pregnancy (& I will do it if/when I get pregnant again) I kept a pregnancy journal to preserve the memories.
This is a beautiful necklace that any new mother would love to have. I would give this to my BF who is expecting a little girl. She could then pass it on to her daughter one day. Thank you for the nice giveaway.

Pregnancy has been such a revelation to me! After years of trying to conceive, I was 39 when I became pregnant, and absolutely thrilled. So many friends had complained and whined about their pregnancies, and I felt just the opposite. It was such a sense of feminine power, of a beautiful, secret rosebud unfurling within me. Every change was met with wonder and gratitude--it was the biggest adventure I've ever had, and I've loved it all.
I am celebrating by pampering myself once a month. I do something for me like get a massage, pedicure or facial.
I have a friend who is pregnant and is having some hard times and this beautiful necklace would be a nice gift for her. Please enter me.
I celebrate by spending as much time with the ones I love most, my family!
What a beutiful idea! I celebrate my pregnancy by learning what's happening to me and my baby. Also, my keeping my husband and my family involve. Thanks for the chance of winning this beautiful necklace!!
How sweet and beautiful. I have a childhood friend, sice we were 5 or so. She has spent so many years and money trying to get pregnant and having miscarriages, etc. But now it seems that once she gave up she got a "pleasant" surprise! I would love to give her such a special gift. Thanks for the contest.

What a beautiful necklace and unique idea. I love it!
This is so beautiful,different and lovely.I know this sounds sad but working! I would would work until the Dr. would tell me to put my leave in.Count me in to win.
I love how it centers on the family. I go through everything with my family!
My mom cannot be with me due to a serious illness, so we document EVERYTHING so she can feel like she is sharing in my beauutiful journey through motherhood.
I am celebrating by writing a diary of my pregnancy and by buying baby clothes and decorating the nursery. garrettsambo@aol.com
I would love to have this , it is such a great idea
What a great necklace. I love the idea.
My husband is taking pictures of me once a week since I am pregnant with twins. Celebrating the journey of growth week by week has been very exciting.
Beautiful! Please enter me. My email is abarrett005@cfl.rr.com
What a beautiful thing to pass down through the generations. I try to treat myself at least a couple times a month with ice cream, foot massages, naps or at least a moment alone to take some deep breaths!

What a beautiful necklace!
I am loving every minute of being pregnant. To celebrate this amazing time I've been taking extra time to myself to read and go on long walks and talk to baby before he/she arrives. I've also been taking pictures of my belly every 3 weeks so I have a fun album to look back on.
I can tell you how I celebrated my wife's pregnancy. From the very beginning of it, I loved watching her belly grow, then finally feeling a kick inside. I talked to our child through her belly all the time and as time went by, appreciated how comfy and warm (especially on those cold winter nights) she was to snuggle with. Even the trip to the hospital and labor was a celebration to me, although I didn't do that much of the work; I did appreciate all that she did. And finally, watching my wife hold our child and myself holding our child. That was probably the most wonderful experience I've ever gone through in my life. The necklace is lovely and I'd love to give it to my wife for all she's done. Thank you.
ABSOLUTE BEST THING IS FEELING A NEW LIFE MOVE INSIDE OF YOU :)
I have taken my 6 year old son to get pictures taken every month with him touching my belly.. as the months go on you can see how my big boy is changing slightly (he lost two front teeth during this) and my belly getting bigger and his reaction to it! Its been great!Thanks for this chance!
