I'm 5'8 and hubby is 6'1. Doctor also says baby is growing ahead of schedule.... we just smiled, knowing that our kids would be tall.

I am 5'7" and Hubs is 6'4" so we'll probably have tall ones.

I'm 5'8 and DH is 6'3. He's got giant genes in his family - his mum is 6'1, and all of the men in his family are 6'3 or taller - so I'm fairly sure our children will be quite tall.
Also, not sure if this is true, but I think I remember learning at some point that the laws of genetics say all boys will be at least as tall as their mother, unless of course there's a genetic abnormality. I could be wrong on that though.

I think our kids will be pretty stinkin' average.
I am 5'7, and my hubby is 5'11.
However, my mom is only 5'4 and my dad is only 5'10. Hubby's mom is 5'0. I guess somewhere in there there could be genes for a really short baby.

I'm 5'10" and he's 6'3." His dad is his height and mine is 6'5", so I think we'll have pretty tall kiddos.

I'm 5'5", he's 6'2". My Mom's itty bitty, but my dad and all his brothers are at least 6', I have an uncle that's 6'4". I hope our babies are tall.

We're a foot apart too. 5'4 and 6'4. He jokes that tall women are mad at me for taking him.
I'm the second tallest woman on my side of the family and the men aren't much taller. Hopefully if we have a boy, his genes will win.
