My Husband's So Thoughtful!

While wandering the aisles of Menard's today, my husband picked up a...gadget I would call it... creatively called a "Reach Tool," and excitedly turned to me and declared, "I'm buying this for you since you're pregnant." Here's the rest of our conversation.

Meg: "What? Why? That's a total waste of $5. Put it back."

Josh: "Nope. I'm getting it for you. You're going to have a big belly, and it will be hard to bend over and pick stuff up."

Meg: "What will I be picking up with this??"

Josh: "Like um, laundry. Like a sock or something."

Meg: "You know, I'm not going to like double in size. I'm still going to be able to move around and be somewhat agile (I hope!)."

Josh: "We're getting it. It looks like fun. It's only $5!"

Meg: "Whatever."
I walk away...as I do, he uses "my" new toy to annoyingly grab the hood of my sweatshirt.

While I may have objected initially...I must admit that my new "Reach Tool" came in handy to pull Josh's hood of his sweatshirt later on in the parking lot...and to grab a tasty box of Reece's Pieces that had "accidentally" fell to the floor.

Only 11 more days until the ultrasound! We can't wait!

    That is so funny! I always see those in the store and think about getting one because I am so short and can never reach anything! And sorry to tell you, but if your pregnancy is anything like mine - you will feel like you have doubled in size and you really will not be able to pick up that sock!
