I used to use bubs for an unborn baby. Don't anymore

Ds is called 'Mr Mr' or 'Cranky Franky' when he is having a bad day. Franky isn't his name btw.

I wonder if OP saw my thread on the pregnancy board or I am just being paranoid. I use the term bubs once in a while now but its because I am only 6 months pregnant and my LO has no name yet. It's just easier sometimes. But I never say it in real life, it would sound completely wierd to me to say it out loud.

And when the bubs is no longer a baby they graduate to little man [vom]

~Hubby is mildly less annoying than bubs.
Hubby would bring me out in a slight rash, bubs tends to make my face and tongue swell.

I prefer hubby to DH ("darling husband" - really???). I have no objection to bubs.

I am tolerance, me.

Yes, it's less annoying when you're American. :o It's mostly a Southern thing, so I don't hear it a lot where I live, but one boy I went to school with was exclusively called Bubba. I have to rack my brain to think of his real name...I think it was Erik? :) It's like a pet name for the boys in the family. It comes from "brother."

My friend calls her husband 'babba'. It makes me feel physically sick. PHYSICALLY SICK.
