I generally don't subscribe to the thought that if you say something out loud you'll jinx it. I feel confident saying things like, "Hey! I just noticed that Gibson hasn't spit up yet today!" out loud. Other people tell me not to jinx things...but I mean, I'm thinking it, why shouldn't I say it? Jinxes aren't real, silly!
Well, I jinxed myself. By thinking. My brain is so very powerful.
A little background: the Spit Up family is in teething hell right now. My wonderful 12-hour sleeper has started waking up screaming at all hours of the night. And then he wakes up at 5:30 in the morning. And it's awful.

But for the past two mornings, we have given him a bottle when he wakes up super early, and he goes back to sleep until 8:00...which is far longer than he's ever slept in his life. And it's been wonderful.
So this morning, Danny got him a bottle at 5:45 when he woke up, and then he was quiet for awhile. And of course I couldn't sleep, so I started composing a blog post in my head about how wonderful sleeping in is.
...that's a normal thing to do, right? Most of my posts are composed in my brain in the middle of the night. Because that's how I am.
Anyway. I started composing in my head, and then Gibson started screaming.
Jinx!
