Melissa, I have never in in my life been a superstitious person, but this baby of mine has changed that forever! It seems like anything I say is happening immediately stops happening. I'll say "well, he's not napping well, but at least he's sleeping well at night". Then, that exact night, he'll be up 4 times, for an hour each! It's the craziest thing. I am trying hard to not let it get me, if he's good, I say he's good, and let the chips fall where they may. But I am always, always tempted to spin around in a circle, or light a match, or do some kind of voodoo to make it not turn around on me!
I think I have the other kind of magical thinking, wherein despite having a baby who is a finicky sleeper who gets sick every other month, I still think he's totally awesome. Heh.
You jinxed me! Just after I read your post, I was about to leave with G. He had spit up a few minutes before, and I sniffed him and thought, "Eh, you don't smell like spitup, you're fine." Then not a half a second later, a huge spew came out. Had to change the clothes. What bizarre timing.
