Nov 11, 2009: Mini Mom

You've probably heard guys say, "gotta go, the little woman is waiting for me".
Of course that's just a figure of speech for most, but not for Will Herald.
The 5ft 9inch Mr Herald is married to Stacey, who's 2ft 4inches tall.



No problem there, couples mismatched in height aren't all that uncommon.
The problem in pregnancy...

The couple met in 2000 while working for a supermarket in their home town and were desperate for a family after marrying in 2004.
But doctors warned Mrs Herald a baby would grow so large inside her tiny body it would eventually crush her organs, strangling her from the inside out.
Mrs Herald said: ‘It broke my heart that I couldn’t have kids. ‘All my life my parents had told me that I could do anything. Then there were these doctors telling me that we couldn’t be a complete family. It really hurt.’

Despite the pleadings of her family, and Doctors, when she got pregnant she decided to go for it. Now they have two girls and is nearly ready to deliver a son. One of the girls has inherited her mother's Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and one hasn't. It remains to be seen if the boy will, or won't.
