What's In A (Nick) Name?
Blastocyst, Embryo, Fetus, Baby.
Whatever scientific term there is for a life growing inside the womb, Jeff and I have created our own, equally good terms. The first nickname we gave was our little lentil bean. From there it moved to our little grape, then our kumquat. We go according to the size comparisons that babycenter.com gives each week.
The very first nickname, given by Uncle Steve, still stands: Quakelet.
But my favorite term of endearment for this child is a name I came up with all by myself:
My little Tapeworm.
It's not the prettiest, but it sure is the most telling of how I feel lately!

Hey Kelly! Thanks for stopping by!
And yes, I think I can relate to the tapeworm concept. :)
Hi! I saw you on this one's for the girl's comment and dropped by. I really liked reading some of your stuff about the homebirth option. I never really thought much about it but I just recently read another lady who have birth at home and it sounded really interesting. I may go look it up. Anyway, sounds like your precious little one is well on his/her way! Congratulations!
