At 7 wks we looked on line to see how the baby was developing and what it had accomplished so far. During our research we learned that the baby was about the size of a blueberry and growing quickly (click on the blueberry information link to the right and go to week 7 you'll see what we mean)! In support of our decision to wait until the birth to determine the sex of our baby we knew we would need a nickname in order to avoid calling the baby "IT" all the time. So... it seemed to stick when we said "so far our baby is just a tiny blueberry.... Baby Blueberry!"
For all of you critics... we know our baby is now much larger than a blueberry, and we know that we don't actually want it to look like a blueberry (any memories of the girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for anyone else at this moment), yes pink is the preferred skin color, arms and legs are expected, etc....
But for now, our little one is fondly known as "Baby Blueberry" until a gender and name are officially determined!
Oh, I do have to tell you a funny story attached to this nickname.... I was talking with Auntie C and in getting off the phone I said something like "well, the blueberry and I are going to go finish baking"... and she said "Oh, like blueberry muffins! to which I quickly responded "Oh, No! there are not enough blueberries in here for muffins... just one blueberry thank you!"
