Things uttered by my husband

"You have a 7 mm person inside of you! It's like you have magical parts" Thanks, honey. It's nice to think that my body can produce "magic" seeing as it took enough to get them to work properly!

"I wish you would stop worrying so much. I want you to be able to enjoy the process. After all, you might as well enjoy the pregnancy....that delivery is going to huuuurt!" (I think he went on to say something about a watermelon through the nose). Thanks birth-coach-to-be. We'll have to work on your soothing techniques before the delivery.

"We have a big-headed baby." It's supposed to be all head at 7.5 weeks! It also has a little tail, but that's not likely to stick around, either.


While looking at an admittedly daunting array of baby-proofing gadgets at the baby store:
Ed/Alex "Do people actually put locks on their toilets?"
Meredith "Well, toddlers have big heads and they are top heavy...if they fall in head first they can't get out."
Ed/Alex "I don't know nothin' 'bout this world"

"Why don't we just keep the diaper pail outside?" I won't even tell you my response to that one.

Ed/Alex "We'll need to get some sort of screen to put up in front of the high chair."
Meredith "Do you mean a mat under the high chair?"
Ed/Alex "No, a screen. For when it throws food. We don't want food to get on the furniture in the living room."
Meredith "What kind of arm do you think our kid is going to have, and why would it be hurling food across the house?"
And then I remembered that Munchkin is my husband's child!
