Tags: I see it this way!

Photography by E.W. Faircloth She is making a baby.  Her husband, Ben, helped out also:) Here's one of my daughters fixing her mother and I breakfast on a recent trip to Jersey.  She and her husband are expecting their first child.  This infant will be our second grandchild, and two months later our first daughter will have her second child.  In six months I'll have three grandchildren. This is good and now for a little trivia: A bun in the oven Meaning Pregnant. Oven = womb, baby = bun. Origin The allusion may just be to the loose connection between 'baby' and 'bunny'. It's more likely that this, and other terms for pregnant, like 'up the duff' and 'in the pudding club', all share the same euphemistic source. The phrase is 20th century. The first citation I can find is in Nicholas Monsarrat's Cruel Sea, 1951: "'I bet you left a bun in the oven, both of you,' said Bennett thickly... Lockhart explained ... the reference to pregnancy."
