Awhile back I blogged about needing to pick a nickname for the grandbaby who is due any time now. With Sweetpea, the moniker just came naturally. I use Sweetpea's nickname when I talk about her on the blog, not feeling comfortable publishing her real name. But I also call her Sweetpea, sometimes, when we are having fun together. Choosing a nickname for Baby #2 has been a little more difficult, probably because we don't know whether the baby is a he or a she. Finally, though, I've settled upon two names.
If the baby is a girl, she will be "Shoog." It started out as "Sugar," but I wanted to shorten it to just the first syllable. If I spelled it "Sug," I figured that people would think it was pronounced like "Bug" but with an S - not so cute. Instead, I opted for a phonetic spelling, and now that I'm used to it, I like it!
If he's a boy, though, he'll be "Chip," as in a chip off the old block (his Daddy).
Tomorrow is Kelsey's official due date, although she thought the baby might come early, like Sweetpea did. I think it would be terrific if Chip or Shoog arrived right on time - TOMORROW. Maybe all (s)he has been waiting on was a nickname!

(Red face) Yes, I was jumping the gun a little bit, GR! I'm not anxious, or anything!
I'm doing my late afternoon checking in on Shoog/Chip/Baby Cakes/Snookems, etc.
Oh, and yeah, I'm not excited either.
I'll check back later today.

Betty, I am so glad you are giving it another try! It just keeps getting better for me.
No baby yet, but I am at their house loving on Sweetpea and waiting for the big event. So glad I'm here.
I'm glad you are there, too! Hope there will soon a second grandbaby to love on, too!
