From the article: 10 Most Popular Fetal Nicknames
Everyone wants to bond with their baby in pregnancy. And going around saying "it" or "the baby" gets old after awhile. Typically you don't even think about nick naming the baby, it just happens. Someone says something funny and Hot Pepper, or whatever else was so funny, is the new code word for baby. Perhaps you had an early ultrasound and your baby looked like a jelly bean or peanut, that can be a quick route to a fetal nick name. Did you have a fetal nick name? Who came up with it? How did it happen? Share Your Fetal Names

Fetal Nicknames
- When we first found out we were pregnant I was 5 weeks along, a friend and I googled pictures of a 5 week old fetus and it looked like a tiny Tadpole... so affectionately we nicknamed our little boy "Taddy".... once he started to resemble a baby more than tadpole we changed his nickname to "Button" and it's stuck the remainder of the pregnancy! We can't wait to meet our little button boy
