Yesterday I was in a rush to get ready for my 8:00 class at the University of Oregon. I quickly put on a T-Shirt and then grabbed my favorite jeans from the pile of laundry I had neglected to fold the previous day. I was all ready to head out the door when I began pulling up my jeans. They felt like they would be a little tighter than ususal, but I attributed that to the fact that they had just been washed. I started to pull them up, but once I got them to my thighs they wouldn't budge. I couldn't get them over my thighs, let alone my hips and butt. I started to panic! "I haven't gained that much weight have I?" and "Im only 6 weeks pregnant, this is ridiculous." I was really depressed...until I had a thought. My thought was to look down at the tag. So, nervously I looked down at the jeans and to my suprise...they were Davids!! Ahhh. I should have known. His jeans were the same color as mine, so I had grabbed his by mistake. This relization was both a relief and an annoyance. I knew I hadn't gained weight...yet, and I was able to put on my pants once I found them. Unfortunately, I was reminded of the fact that my hubby will always be skinnier than me. I just smiled though. I am ok with that fact! I am happy with myself and thought I would post it cause it was a random but funny story. So, for all you girls fighting with weight issues, luckily your hubby doesn't have a 28-30 waist size (I wasn't that small as a size 8!).

I feel for you, but you want to know what's worse? In one of my latest posts, I showed a picture of the size 6 jeans I desperately want to fit in again...well, my mother-in-law saw those jeans hanging in the kitchen (they're still there) and asked if they were WADE'S!!! Wade, who is
6'4" and currently 230lbs...could not even REMOTELY fit in those jeans! Not even a pinky toe! Argh that made me mad! But I simply smiled and said no. That was a day I had to fight off a bag of Oreo's and depression!
I totally know how you feel!!! Every time I do laundry and I look at David's clothes I'm disgusted! How can we have such skinny husbands!?! I always feel like people look at me with him in public and wonder why he married such a cow!!! Sigh...I guess I'll just have to loose a gajillion pounds!
It's so not fair - they have no hips!! In my days of being more fit, I tried on some men's cargo shorts and was thoroughly frustrated when I had to go up in size to fit my hips. Needless to say, I didn't buy any because the waist was huge!
thats so funny! and its always been one of my fears that my husband will be super skinny!
My kinda un-official rule...they have to at least weigh more than I do.
LOL :D
oh and if by any chance you can give my blanket to either brent, kacy or hailey- so I can get it soon? :D
that would be super cool! Thanks!
That's so funny. I remember when Blair and I wore the same size jeans....weird...I think I was a freshman in highschool and he tried them on as a joke. Needless to say, our size similarity didn't last long once I got a more female shape. Guys don't really have bums or hips.
loved this post! Hey- I was wondering if you and Kim would be around this weekend (Saturday-ish). Dave and I are going to go through Springfield and I would love to see some of you guys!
