Why Bouton?

I guess I should explain where "Bouton" comes from, given that it's most likely only a few more days we will use the name.
Friends from San Diego had called their child Peanut before it was born. I still remember thinking at last year's Halloween party that it was really smart of them to have some sort of a code name to be able to refer to the baby - like us, they didn't know the sex of the baby yet.
Then, on January 31st, when we were celebrating our 4 year anniversary of our civil marriage with our best friends from San Diego, who had had their civil marriage on the exact same date, we were talking about baby names. Returning home from the excellent dinner, I suggested to Michelle that we should copy the "Peanut"-idea (incidentially, I also copied the idea with the blog from them. Smart people!).
Bouton is French for the English button, and the Swiss German chnopf. The latter can also mean little kid, which is quite fitting. Michelle liked my suggestion - after a while.

Speaking about names: In Switzerland, when you go to the hospital, you apparently have to tell them a boy's and a girl's name, even if you think you know it's a boy. Fortunately, we already know two names.

Tomorrow is the US due date. Michelle is having Braxton Hicks contractions a bit more often now. It seems that Bouton may be born at any time. I'll keep you posted!
