We have called our growing baby Cupcake so much now, that it has become her nickname. We don't yet have an official name picked out as we plan to name her on her birthday. It will be a surprise for everyone, including us for the most part, with the exception of knowing the name pool.
But what most people don't know, is how the nickname got started. It is actually the way I told Ron that we were pregnant. I had been in a baking mood last October, making and eating cupcakes quite a bit, so that evening I was planning on trying a new flavor. I had not been feeling myself, and just knew something was different. So I took at at-home pregnancy test, and just as I had suspected - I was pregnant! So I flew to the grocery store, got a few baking items I needed and a little onsie gift for the Daddy-to-be.
When he arrived home, I informed him that I had cupcakes in the oven and one very special cupcake that we would be baking for another 9 months. Our eyes both swelled up with tears...it was still very early but we were very excited for the new member of our family that I was now "baking".
We are now fairly certain that the nickname we started that day will stick with her for many years to come. It's almost too bad that it isn't an acceptable "real" name!
