And no, it wasn't him that came up with "Chester", but frankly we just can't resist using it until we know the real deal.
In the meantime, he's been referring to my midsection, and the purpose thereof, as a number of nicknames reflecting the fact that I am housing our baby. The list includes but is not limited to:
Baby House
Baby Condo
Baby Barracks
Baby Yurt
Baby Pup Tent
Baby High Rise
Baby Mansion
Baby Apartment
Baby Castle
Baby Shack
Baby Shanty
We've had a fun time with this list.
Attached picture is of a yurt.
He also called me "Short Stuff" last week, a day or so after I cut my hair. I didn't even get it until he said it a second time, on account of me being a mere 5'3", so I thought he was just referring to my overall height. Duh.
I need to mention another thoughtful Mothers' Day present, from Aunt Punchy again. Since she's an elementary school teacher, she is my book connection. See if you can pick up on the theme:
Mama, Do You Love Me?
What Moms Can't Do
In My Momma's Kitchen
What Mommies Do Best
the other half of which is: What Daddies Do Best - if you flip it over and start from the other end of the book.
That makes 6 books in our baby book library. Thank you, Aunt Punchy!
And yes, I think Nate was responsible for that nickname, too.
Dream quip:
The honest-to-goodness SHORT version is that my co-worker thought it would be perfectly acceptable to babysit his grandkids at work. During the work day. I had to get him to stop playing goofy games while his grandkids were calling him "Pop Pop" (his actual grandfather name) and get some work done.
The End
14 weeks 4 days.
Next prenatal appointment: May 30th.
Next ultrasound: about a month after that.
I know. You don't even have to say it.
We might as well call it an eternity from now.
