B: So I hear I have to buy you something when Ava is born.
R: Yes.
B: I have picked out your "Push" gift.
R: "Push" gift? Ok....I'm hoping for something sparkley.
B: Ummmm, how about I pay to have granite put down in our master bathroom, it can be sparkley?
R: NO. The point of this gift is not to benefit "us". You have been able to do whatever you want over the last 9 months while I have been building a baby. No granite, no tile, no vacuum cleaner, no lawn mower.
B: But I've had to put up with you for the last 9 months!

Ha! I never heard it called a "push gift" before but I insisted on the same thing when I was pregnant. In fact, I specified, a piece of jewelry with the baby's birthstone in it. My (now ex-)husband said that if the baby was born in August when he was due he was NOT buying me peridot because he thought it was ugly. He was early and I got a pretty ruby and diamond bracelet. To my ex's credit, he gave it to me while I was still in the hospital. I wear it every year on my son's birthday.
