Plus when my pregnant belly is "talking" to my DH, he already says it calls him daddy haha. Too cute. snowjewelz on "Was it easy or awkward..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-easy-or-awkward#post-1550303 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 09:42:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1550303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We call each other daddy/mommy already when talking about our dog lol :silly: swurlygurl on "Was it easy or awkward..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-easy-or-awkward#post-1550090 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 08:29:51 +0000 swurlygurl 1550090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Easy when DD is around, but kinda awkward if I slip up and call him 'Daddy' or 'Dada' when she's not around.

Ours was easy & natural Except for my being called mama. I would cringe when DH (or anyone) referred to me as mama in the first 2-3 moths. Now, I am all about it.

But we called each other that while she was in the womb too. Also, he's been 'dad' to our dog, too :D cmomma17 on "Was it easy or awkward..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-easy-or-awkward#post-1548678 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:21:33 +0000 cmomma17 1548678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A little awkward in our case. Only because i want to call him daddy, and everyone in my family does too. But DH has two kids from a previous marriage who call him papa. So the daddy/dad/papa thing is confusing at times. I will let LO decide what to call him eventually, but daddy is natural to me. nicoleannette on "Was it easy or awkward..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-easy-or-awkward#post-1548674 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:20:55 +0000 nicoleannette 1548674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think that I started calling him daddy right after I got my BFP! chopsuey on "Was it easy or awkward..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-easy-or-awkward#post-1548648 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:08:46 +0000 chopsuey 1548648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Easy.

I constantly still refer to them as mom and dad when talking to lo. She's too young to be confused yet! yin on "Was it easy or awkward..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-easy-or-awkward#post-1547880 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 09:57:42 +0000 yin 1547880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Very easy.

I always called him daddy to our dog (still do!) But he didn't start calling me mommy until after LO was born. We only do it when she's around though...
