Husbands say the darndest things...

Laying in bed last night, I was reading a book about pregnancy. I got to a part about how quickly my uterus is growing and exclaimed to the Pretend Husband, "Holy cow, this says I will grow half an inch every week for the rest of my pregnancy! That's crazy!"

The PH, not really paying attention to exactly what I was saying, responded with, "You're going to get taller?!?"

Uh, yeah, PH. That makes sense. Especially seeing as how I have 13 weeks left to go. So, you can expect me to be topping out around 6 feet, 4 inches by the time the kid comes. And I'll be ready for the WNBA if we ever have a second child.

The PH is one of the most intelligent people I know and yet, he seriously thought pregnancy would make me taller?!? It's not like we don't have a whole bunch of friends who have been through pregnancy. Don't you think he would have noticed if all the women had ended up at over six feet tall, towering over their husbands? I'm questioning whether the PH should ever be left alone with our child.

That totally rocks my face off.

You won't get taller, but your feet will probably go up a shoe size. Yay - you get a whole new shoe wardrobe . . .and clothes to go with them too :)

Hmmmmmm....sometimes the brightest have the least amount of common sense.

I'm thinking based upon that comment, he is mensa smart.

I wouldn't mind growing an inch or 2 taller. :) Dang it.

my 6'3 husband would probably hump my leg like a crazed little dog if he thought it would make my 5'6 self taller, since he complains about having to bend to kiss me.

Haha, that's gold! I wouldn't mind growing vertically, but I think horizontal is my only option...
