Bravo, Jen!  I heartily agree with your approach for recalcitrant 
spouses and your little story brought back fond <?> memories of when 
my kids were babies.  The "I have to go to work early" whine doesn't 
cut any ice when there's puke everywhere.  It's all hands on deck, 
or suffer DIRE consequences.  I love your "if Mohammed doesn't come 
to the mountain, then bring the mountain to Mohammed" approach.  It 
can't possibly fail to get results.
Good luck with the ultrasound.  I would never dare to predict anyone 
else's outcome since I missed two out of two of my own.  I always 
loved the ultrasounds though and felt like they were 
special "previews" of the coming attraction.
