[him] "Would you just tell me the bloody name of the books?"
[me] "No, I'm busy eating, and if I take the time to tell you, my food will get cold."
[him] "You DO know that in the time it took you to tell me that, you could've just told me the names right?"
[me] "No, it would've taken longer than that. Because up until now when I decided to stop sharing, this conversation had been pretty one-sided, so sharing the names with you will just take us back to that - ME doing all the talking while YOU do all the eating. At least right now with you not knowing the names, you're TALKING!"
[him] "Good lord woman, just tell me the names?!"
[me] "Well if you REALLY want me to stop eating to tell you, I can, but know that that'll mean starving your child. That'll mean making your poor unborn child WAIT for his food because YOU need to know the names of some books. I mean, if that's what you want, I guess I can do that, but is that what you really REALLY want?"
[him, laughing] "I can't believe you just pulled that off with a straight face. Well played."

You are GOOD. Guilt-tripping-for-the-sake-of-the-baby is a skill that you'll soon learn works WONDERS with parenting situations. :o)
Bwahahahahaha...that is good!
HA HA HA! You pulled out the pregnancy (guilt) card again!! Too funny!
I love hearing about your conversations with your hubby. It sounds like you have a great relationship.
If you're getting a post up today, I'm thinking you may not be in labor yet.
Are you going to take your laptop into the hospital with you to give us the up-to-the-minute report? Or possibly Tweet about it?
Just don't send photos until after Tiny B is born, please. :)
Sheri, no laptop, probably no tweeting or anything either. It's possible I might but send something from my Blackberry but thinking I'll need everything focused on labor;-)
