In an effort to stop referring to our upcoming bundle of joy as "it," we tried to think up a nickname for our baby-to-be. We thought of several different nicknames, but they were all either too gender specific or just plain too goofy... also we kept coming back to items of food for some reason.
List of rejected nicknames:
Noodle
Doodle
Button
Dot
Bear
Bug
Nut
Panda
Pea
Bacon
We hadn't settled on a nickname the first night so we slept on it (I know... this is such a HUGE decision...). The next morning my mom (MyMy to her other grandkids) called and asked when the baby would be due. I told her that we estimated it would be late March/early April which meant that the baby would be born in the year of the dragon based on the Chinese zodiac calendar. I then informed her of our dilemma of choosing a nickname and she immediately stated that since the baby would be a dragon, why don't we use "Puff" as a nickname (in reference to Puff the Magic Dragon).
It was just too perfect to pass up... it's very cute and good for either a boy or girl so that's what we're going with. Thanks, MyMy for your help with this IMPORTANT decision.
