Peanut & Binki: Week 1 of 4

Peanut and Binki (How it came about)

I've had the nick name Binki for as long as i can remember. Now my dad is the only one who calls me by it, which I kind of like. It's a sweet connection that we have. Apparently the only brand of pacifier I would accept as a baby was Binki. So my parents dubbed me for it.

When I was pregnant with Adrian, Chris and I went to a Halloween party, I was about eight months along, and was trying to come up with a costume for a very pregnant woman, when I got the inspiration to dress up as an M&M and my pregnant belly would represent the peanut - thus I would be a peanut M&M. Chris and I had a good laugh about it, however, since we chose not to learn the sex of our baby, we began calling our unborn baby "peanut" to avoid the term "the baby". I don't call Adrian by it now, but I thought it was a cute representation.
