Sleep Talking Once More

Philip has been working nights for several months now, so the opportunities I have to hear him talk in his sleep have been few and far between. This morning I stayed in bed a little later than usual, and when I finally checked the time on my phone and ninja-jumped out of bed, P was fast asleep next to me. I say ninja-jumped, but these days my "get out of bed quick" moves are the equivalent of a walrus rolling into the surf: groans, huffs, and puffs included. Here's what happened:

Me: *rolled over and put my head on P's stomach*
Philip: that's enough for me
Me: What?
Philip: stop putting that crap on me...
Me: What crap?
Philip: that sunblock stuff, I don't need any more
Me: Okay, I'll stop

If I had not dozed off for a few more seconds I think I could have gotten a better conversation/story out of him, but still, this one was funny. Maybe he was dreaming of being on vacation?

The Big Reveal

This post is about a week late, but I want to record our amazing Gender Reveal cake. I found something like it on Pinterest, but our local bakery did a much better job, and it was definitely one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. I was so worried about all other aspects of the party that it never occurred to me to photograph the table where it was sitting on, so that's a bummer, but the gist of it was: "He"-colored Hershey bars on the left, "She"-colored Hershey bars on the right, and when it came down to cake cutting, everyone picked up their guess for a picture! That was simple and straightforward, so here's the picture!

Although most of my "Old Wives Tales" symptoms were skewed towards it being a girl, the great majority guessed it was a boy, and they were right! I was so happy that I could finally make the change from "it" to "he" when talking about my baby, and that I no longer had to be careful when talking about gender-specific subjects. You are very lovingly awaited, Emmett Beckham!
