We were at a dinner party last night. The topic of conversation for 99% of the night was, "When are you going to have another baby?"
My answers started innocently,"Whenever I can find a drug strong enough for Darling Husband, hahaha."
After a few glass of wine, "Geeeeeeerl, I am on my back with my legs in the air waiting for the stork to notice! guffawsnorthonk."
Certainly, DH was nowhere near these conversations as talking about more kids is as appealing to him as watching the debt counter tick up.
Toward the end of the night, a good friend of DH's, as well as a father to two gorgeous girls, was saying how much we neeeeeed to have a daughter.
"Well, you tell him then," I said. "I swore I wouldn't bring it up again until November."
I watched Ed talk seriously to DH, as DH (surprisingly) nodded to whatever his friend said.
Later I approached Ed and he gave me a big high-five. "He'sssssss in!!"
"Wow, I cannot believe that. What did you say?"
"Just that now is the best time to be looking for retirement homes and the Bahamas is the place so he is totally in to buying a house there! High five!"
I am not sure how "another baby" turned into a "beach house" but I feel I may be onto some leveraging points.
