Can't call my bump by name

Dukechick · May 29th, 2009, 12:40 PM

Is anyone else like that? I just realized that I can't do it!! We still call him 'baby'. lol..... We have his name all picked out, but I just find it so weird to call my bump by a name.

It was a little odd for me at first too. But after a while, I think when it finally sunk in that there is indeed a baby in there, I started to always call him by his name, Marley

Now it feels weird when I don't call him by his name

I was exactly like that with my other 2.....we had their names picked out but we just called them bumpy! We didn't even call them baby!

I can't even call mine a him or her...HATE calling the baby it...but also feel dumb calling the baby him or her everytime!!

Oh, Sherileigh, I came to the conclusion that you're having a girl! You can call 'it' a 'she' lol....

I needed to know what I was having so I could stop saying my baby or whatever I had been using. So now i call him Lennox when ever I talk about him or am talking to him. It would have been Amelie had I been having a girl!

when I found out Cora willow was a girl I kept calling her "it" for a few weeks and other people kept correcting me and saying "she" and then I got used to it. Then we picked out a name and I had to start all over again.

I dunno, at first it was strange but now I find myself randomly talking to her without even realizing it.
