Hubby Comments

Here are a few of my favorite comments from Hubby during this pregnancy:

As I was changing my shirt.... "Wow, you've really let yourself go haven't you?"

"You've got some junk in your ....... front??"

"You're t-shirts don't even fit anymore"

"I'm ready for this baby to get here already.." Me: "Um.... I think I'm a little more ready than you are!"

"Maybe we should call him Jupiter." Me: Yeah, if you want our child to get made fun of. (To be perfectly clear, he was only 3/4 joking.... He's big into that sort of stuff, yes he's a nerd.)

The one with the pregnancy weight gain

Me:  Well, so far I think I've gained the majority of the weight in my belly and a just a little in other places.

Hubby:  Well, you've gained some here too (pointing at my outside thighs) and in your butt.  You know, if you ran more often that would help.

Me:  Wow, gee thanks.. I can't believe you said that!  I think you just won Hubby of the year award!

Obviously, I know he didn't mean it the way it sounded.... Or at least I don't think he did! haha sometimes, they don't think before speaking do they?  I know he's just trying to help so that I'm not miserable post pregnancy! Right?? :-) Of course!

The one with the sweet comment

Hubby and I are laying in bed and he actually felt the little man kick for the first time!  

Me:  Isn't that cool?

Hubby:  Well I can't tell if you're moving or if it's the baby.

Me:  Honey, I'm not moving, I'm laying right here.  Those little "hiccups" you feel are the baby kicking.

Hubby:  I think I felt it.  I didn't know thats what it was.  

The conversation went on for a little while, and then this wonderful sweet comment came from my adoring, loving husband...

Hubby:  Wow, you're belly got big overnight.  If it keeps growing like it has in the last day or so, you're going to be enormous.

Me:  Wow, thanks, You're too sweet.

The one with the cheating comment

Ok, so first off I need to clarify.  I do not nor have I ever condoned cheating, neither does hubby.  This was merely a joke made by hubby not to offend anyone or give anyone any weird ideas.

Hubby:  So, I was doing some calculations and when do you think you're due?
Me:  December 23rd because I have 5 week cycles instead of the typical 4, but the doc says Dec. 16th because of my cycle dates.
Hubby:  Ok, because if you're actually due on Dec. 16th, I was in Arizona (no where near our home state) and it's not possible unless you cheated on me.
Me:  You never know (joking of course)
Hubby:  If that baby comes out anything but white, I'm so leaving you.
Me:  I can't believe you just said that!  As if that would ever happen.
Hubby:  O, I know, I'm just saying.
Me:  Only you would say something like that.

Oh, the things he says.  He knows I would never do that and we have a very trusting relationship, he just says goofy things form time to time.  He never fails to surprise me. 

Out of the mouth's of Husbands :-)

The one with the Chicken Noodle Soup

The other day, I made homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner.  This is how the conversation went once Hubby was able to eat it.

Hubby:  You made homemade chicken noodle soup?
Me:  Yes....
Hubby:  It probably has lots of vegetables in it, doesn't it?
Me:  Actually, no... I didn't have any and I normally don't put a lot in there anyway.
Hubby:  Yes you do, you always do.
Me:  O whatever, just eat your soup.
Hubby:  (As he makes himself a bowl and sits down): No veggies! This is like a dream come true! I've always wanted chicken noodle soup without vegetables. And Campbell's doesn't count.
Me:  Wow, apparently you're easy to please.

The one with the Birthday present

Given it's a week until my birthday, I figure I would share the conversation I had with hubby yesterday regarding my birthday present.

Hubby: So, I ordered your birthday present
Me: Great, can't wait to see it.
Hubby: I got you a blue tooth that you'll really like. It only weighs 8 grams but if you don't like it, you can return it.
Me: Wow, thanks for ruining the surprise, my birthdays not for another week!
Hubby; O, yeah sorry.

Well at least I will know I like it i suppose! Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Stuffing

So, here is the conversation I had with my mom this weekend...
(First, let me get you up to speed, I LOVE my mom's stuffing, it's fantastic, and she makes it every year)

Mom:  I'm not making stuffing this year

Me:  Um.... Why not?  You have to, its delicious!

Mom:  I was just watching something on TV about how each serving of stuffing has the equivalent saturated fat of 3 Large orders of french fries from McDonalds!!

Me:  Well that probably depends on how you make it and I'm sure you don't make it like that... Right?

Mom:  Yes, Kayla... It's how you make stuffing. 

Me:  Well I'm sure it depends on how much you eat, nobody can eat that much stuffing.

Mom:  It's 1 cup, one cup has the same amount of saturated fat as 3 large french fries...

Me:  So you mean to tell me that the helping of Stuffing I enjoyed last year was like eating 12 large orders of french fries from McDonalds??!??!?!

Mom:  Yes.  That is correct.

Me:  You better not make stuffing this year!

The one with the Skank Blanket.....

I wonder what searches will lead curious minds to this post! :-) (Insert evil laugh....)

Anyway, this weekend my parents visited to watch the beloved Iowa Hawkeyes go 8-0!
Here is the conversation that happened during a portion of the game:

Mom- I know something I can get you both for Christmas! (While putting on a blanket)
Me- You are not buying us a snuggie! (I think these things are the most hideous inventions ever made!)
Mom- No, on QVC they had the original creator of the that blanket and it's actually called a "Slanket"

Me- Mom, those are dumb.
Mom- What if you want to change the channel, you have to take your arm out of the blanket to change it!
Hubby- (in his most loving, yet sarcastic voice)Yes, its so difficult to take your arm out of the blanket to change the channel, I don't know if I can do it anymore!

Mom- See! I knew you'd like one.
Hubby- Those are so stupid, I can't believe people buy them.
Mom- (all while laughing)  I'm getting you one anyway!

25 minutes later, Hubby brings the subject back up and makes fun of my mom....
Hubby- So, what do you do if your hands are cold or your back is cold because it's open in the back like a hospital gown?

Mom then replies- Yeah, I don't know.... But  now I know you're getting a skank blanket for Christmas!

Dad, hubby & I all stare blankly at Mom....

Me- Mom, what exactly is a skank blanket?  Does it come fresh from the factory dirty covered with holes?

Mom- Laughing hysterically says- Wow, I havent' heard that word in a long time, I'm not sure how I came up with that word....

Dad- I can't beleive you just said that!  I don't know if anyone would want a "skank blanket"

Me- And now we definitely don't want one!

I still think she might buy us one, only as a joke.  Apparently she thought they were very cool.

My husband saw another side of me...

So yesterday, we headed out to look at a car we've been thinking about buying. We want a car with more room and w/the ability to tow a small boat (in about 3 years).

Anyway, we found one at a local dealership (even though in the past we have always bought private party for a better deal), this was a pretty good deal and we figured we would take it for a spin. We love how it drove, except when we were breaking and the wheel would shimmy just a bit. There were a few scrapes and dents and I'm under the impression that if I'm going to spend X amount on a car, I want it to look nice. So they "said" they could fix all of that.

We were thinking of trading my husbands car in on the deal. We knew before going in that in all actuality his car is worth more than the one we were looking at, just slightly, within about $1000.

After all was said and they came up with a price, they wanted his car +$5000!!! I about fell off my chair.

Me: Yeah sorry you're nowhere close to where we want you to be
Hubby: Can you do better?
{new} Salesmen: Let me go see, what would you like to see different
Me: First of all take the trade out of the deal because that's a terrible price
{new} Salesmen: What did you want to see?
Me: Well, you need to drop the price of the car about $1500 and give us an extra $3000 on the trade
{new} Salesmen: Um, let me go talk to my manager
Hubby to me: You need to give them a chance to do better
Me: He's already wasted my whole Monday night and I would have walked out after the initial price if you would have let me
Hubby: You have to be nicer to them to get them to drop it
Me: I don't NEED to buy a car, they NEED to sell a car

{new} Salesmen: Well, lowest we can go is $250.00 lower on the car
Me: Well, thank you for your time, you're still nowhere close, sorry.
{new} Salesmen: Well we said we'd fix everything you wanted fixed
Me: BEFORE I sign on the dotted line so that it's up to my standards?
{new} Salesmen: We would do it just how you like it after you sign
Me: Of course you would
{new} Salesmen: Well would you like to drive this other particular car
Me: No, I wanted that car and I want to look for another one
{new} Salesmen: Well they would drive the same
Me: That is not the car I want
Hubby: Ok then, she's ready to go (as he continues to argue about the difference between the car we test drove and the car the salesman is trying to get us to drive)

{new} Salesmen's Boss: Well you said you wanted it close to X price....
Me: No, I said I wanted it under X price, sorry.

As Hubby and I left he said, wow you're not very nice in car dealerships, I've never seen that in you.
Me: Well, they wasted my time on a Monday night and treated me like I was stupid, not a good idea.

So needless to say, they did NOT sell the car and I will NEVER purchase from that dealership if I can help it.
