Don’t talk about baby on the way or call your partner “Mommy” or “Daddy” for an entire day. Use first names (or your favorite pet name – we won’t judge, schmoopies). This will be harder than it seems, but it’s important to remain a couple and not just parents and parents-to-be. You’re still the couple you used to be and calling each other by your real names will remind the two of you that you’re more than parents. -- Emma K. Viglucci, relationship expert at MetroRelationship.com.

Do you call your partner “mommy” or “daddy?” What’s your pet name for your partner?

Haha we started doing this, DD is only 4 months old. When talking to each other though we call each other by our names.
We call each other 'babe' or 'love'

This is one habit we haven't developed. I call him babe, he calls me hun or sweetheart

Eh, I call him daddy if I'm holding the baby. But I usually call him Sweets or Babe. He calls me Mommy when he "makes the baby talk" which is pretty funny. He usually calls me by my name or Sweetie.
