Several of my besties have had babies recently. Makes me think back to when I had my babies. And there pregnancies made me think back to my pregnancy.
And my husband’s inability to cater to a very hormonal and HUNGRY pregnant wife. He uttered the stupidest words ever to me when I was pregnant with his first child. His son. A boy for him and he almost lost the right to ever meet the child.
We had just finished supper and were probably sitting on the couch, watching tv and fighting over the tetris game. I am sure I made something fried, covered in gravy because, well, that I what I always wanted when I was pregnant. Probably also the reason I gained 50 pounds in 9 months.
A short while after finishing supper, I asked my loving, doting husband to go to Dairy Queen to get me a hot fudge sundae with Spanish peanuts. Note that Dairy Queen is over 10 miles away. His response, I expected, was to run out the door after my sundae. But instead…
He looks at me and asks how I could possibly be hungry. I am sure I said something witty like, “I am growing a spine, I am starving. Go get my sundae.”
And then he said it. Those words you should never utter to a barefoot and hormonal woman that you impregnated.
“I can HEAR you getting FATTER!”
Shrieks could could be heard for miles I am sure. And no he didn’t go get the sundae because I probably used a lot of profanity and went and locked my self in some room. Well, I would have locked myself in a room if any of our rooms had doors. But the old house we lived in only had one room with a door. The bathroom. And it wasn’t any place I wanted to spend a lot of time.
So, let it be known. He didn’t make that mistake twice.

Sometimes I do not know how our husbands are still around living and breathing the same air as us!
Chalk it up to true love I guess.
Laughing so hard!
When I was in the midst of labor with our first, I hadn't gotten my Epideral yet (which I had requested at the first OB?GYN appt. to run for the whole 9 mos.) and I moaned/grunted thru a contraction and Chris told me I was kind of loud I should probably keep it down just a bit, that was on his way out the door to the candy machine for yet another snack!
Bahahaha you know before I even read that I said in my head you ate something fried! Why did that NOT shock me at all! Still love you though Leah! ~Sandy~
Ouch! I guess we forget that sometimes our Hubbys get a case of the preggo crankies too. Sounds like he learned his lesson though.
Cheers. VB
does it make it better or worse if you get those kind of comments when you aren't pregnant – and from your grandma? just wondering where i fit on the beyer scale…
Hahaha – oh mercy! Men are lucky we even let them try to impregnate us again!! lol
Oh dear… I don't think I was EVER that stupid! Or rather, made that stupid a comment.
I could see my husband saying this to me. Thankfully he never had the opportunity. I have a feeling I still wouldn't be speaking to him!
How did he survive that one?
Oh. No. He. Didn't. Ahhh! Yah, that kind of mistake can only happen ONCE. I'm sure he learned his lesson! hahaha
Beautiful Baby! and a hilarious story! just stopped in from Mama Kat to say hi and good post!
Chris
first of all, that baby is PRECIOUS. i assume your husband was left on the side of the road after that?
It must be something about that house! (That was our first house too!) My wonderful beef farmer husband had the nerve to use this as an arguement for why I should breast feed our first born (again a son!) "Everyone knows a calf left on the cow is a lot healthier than a bottle fed calf." Hello? Excuse me? You didn't just compare my 62 pounds since conception body to that of a COW did you? Seriously? Lucky for him, he's a quick learner and NEVER said anything like that again! LOL
That baby face makes it all worth while, doesn't it?! As for hubby, he will never be a diplomat!
OUCH! that hurt. lesson learned, i'm sure!
Wow. Oh yikes.
I ate a ton too during my pregnancies. I think my poo husband gained just as much weight as I did. I remember finishing a meal (breakfast out, so it was a good sized breakfast) and an hour later I said I was hungry again. His response, "We just ate. I can't keep up with you!" I didn't want him to keep up with me, I just wanted more food! -Laverne stopping by from Momma Kat's
Oh wow! I bet he didn't make that mistake again haha
that is so not funny, and yet, I'm enjoying the moment… Unlike you… I was stunned to silence when my DH mentioned "I noticed you shopped at Motherhood Fatpants this weekend"
