I have to apologize for my ignorance and I hope I have not offended anyone. You see I have been calling my baby beaner since I found out it was the shape of a bean and now have found out that it is a racial slur for Mexican people. I am so sorry and embarrassed! I never knew it meant anything bad. I read in a maternity book that the baby was the shape of a bean and it just took.
I honestly do not see color. I see people for who they are. I have an African American husband and will soon have a bi-racial baby. In my little world I do not hear or say racial slurs. I know they are out there but I don't say them nor know them. I am so embarrassed! I cannot believe it. Please forgive me world wide web.
As for now the baby will be called pumpkin. As far as I know that word has no other meaning to it or will insult anyone.
Testing, testing 123... Is this

KJ! I don't believe anyone actually took it that way. I knew what you meant the whole time! :)
I figured that people would know what I meant! I just cannot believe it! HAHAHA!!!
I really don't think you should worry about that!! I am mexican and I've been reading your blog and to tell you the truth I never even thought of it that way!! That's so silly! :)
Thanks! I appreciate it Pam. I am so glad it did not come across like that!
