[quote=Anonymous]Babies typically start thinning out by the time they're crawling and typically get longer and "skinnier" into the toddler years. So basically by the time they're walking/talking and understanding what you're saying -- those terms of endearment have decreased or stopped. So it's perfectly fine.

Another thing to think about -- would you be okay with somebody calling your baby a "beanpole"? I've had fat and skinny babies and it never bothered me at all when people commented on weight. My youngest boy (who's always been skinny) is my little beanpole (and yes, I call him that.) He's 18 months and tall and skinny. But of course he's a boy and I know you're referring to girls.

Which brings me to another issue -- why would it be any different for baby boys and baby girls? It' definitely seems like you're already projecting your weight issues on your girl -- and you really need to nip this in the bud.

I truly wish you the best. And keep in mind -- all this stuff may not even be an issue once she's born. She'll be yours and beautiful no matter what. [/quote]
