The last time around we called our unborn baby "McNugget." For an explanation on the gross backstory about why we came up with that name see here. I am thanking my lucky stars I have not had such bizarre and repulsive cravings this time around.
Since I haven't had any real cravings yet (except maybe for Chinese food but I think I crave it even when I'm not expecting) nothing has really come to mind as a nickname. Calling this thing #2 just isn't much fun.
I thought Julian might enjoy naming this one so I asked her today: "Juju, what should we call the baby in mommy's belly?" She replied "uterus." Jonathan and I nearly fell off our chairs laughing. I think she said "uterus" because the first time we talked about a baby coming I explained the baby was growing in my uterus which was right next to my belly because I didn't want her to get confused or scared and think she could swallow something and suddenly something would grow in her belly (a la watermelon seeds) but I thought that all went over her head so I backtracked and reverted to using her words of "baby in your belly." I guess it didn't all go over her head.
I'm not going to call this thing uterus so we're open to suggestions. . .
Juju is absolutely amazing, I love her!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, you could call the baby J4. It almost sounds like an English boy band.
I'll keep thinking about it though.
