Duck Baby

Update: I am currently 17 weeks along and my baby bump is starting to look like a baby bump and not just a tummy with too many burgers in it! I'm not anywhere near as sick as I was the first three months but I am still constantly aware of feeling slightly off and my tummy is always a little queasy. I have not yet been able to feel him kicking or moving but I'm sure that's coming soon.   

Now on to the post: So  many times when people get pregnant I hear them call the baby cute little names: sweat pea, bean, speck, etc. I think this is because it's really hard to keep calling the baby "it" before you know the gender. I always wondered, how do you come up with a cute name? Do you just choose something? Because sometimes it sticks past when the baby is even born. I didn't realize this, but now it seems as though nicknames come naturally when you get pregnant.  

At our first sonogram appointment (I was then 6 weeks pregnant) this was the picture we got: 

After we left the doctor we kept giggling about how very much our baby looked like a duck floating along in there. The next few days Brett started asking me how "duck baby" was doing and it has just kind of stuck. Even though we now know that it is a boy, we still mostly call him "duck baby."  

So there you have it, in case you were wondering, this is why we call him "duck baby."
