I am so sick of people calling the thing growing in my wife's womb a "baby" It is not a "baby," it's a fetus, so please when referring to the fetus, do not address it as a "baby," it's just not appropriate, it's not a baby yet and please don't try to predestine the fetus to something that it may never become (it may turn out to be something much better than a "baby," like a bunny or Underdog).
Here is a list of appropriate and inappropriate questions and statements in regards to the fetus:
Appropriate
1. How is the fetus doing?
2. Do you know what sex the fetus is yet?
3. That is the cutest fetus I have ever seen.
Inappropriate
1. When is the baby due? 2. Is this your first baby?
3. I bet that will be the cutest baby ever.
Please, show some respect for the stages of life and don't call the fetus a "baby." I also found the following sound advice on the internet. Thank goodness for the internet, but now I am at a loss on how to introduce the fetus to our fish.
