Agreed, sounds like a growth spurt to me, too. My 21 month old DD just went through a two week period of sleeping A LOT (like 7:30pm - 8:30am and then a 3.5 hour nap) and now no longer fits into the clothes she had been wearing comfortably. Pants that fit her three weeks ago are now too short, I actually find this amazing.
p.s. Tell your husband to relax and enjoy the quiet time you're getting
