Also... what do you currently call your baby?

Or how do you refer to it?

I currently refer to it as "the fetus" which people seem to find amusing. I would probably call it "the baby" if I was talking to someone I didn't know well though.

Re: Also... what do you currently call your baby?

  • We jokingly call him "Fetus" but refer to him as "the baby" to anyone else.  The word fetus just cracks me up.  Sounds like Cletus.

    That is hilarious.  Also, a PP mentioned calling the baby a "he" even though they don't know the sex of the baby yet.  I've caught myself doing that, too, but I don't know if it's instincts, or the fact that every other living being in my house is a "he" (Husband, dog, cat), so that's just the pronoun I'm used to.

    This is too cute.

    I called it the baby or sometimes "it" and my husband gets mad. Husband calls it baby boy since he is so sure it's a boy. Mom calls it pumpkin.

  • Fred!

    My dad just joked that name since we learned it's probably a boy. It stuck...it's funny. Even if the sex changes we'll still probably call it Fred.

  • The twins,babies, or boys - hopefully they are boys when we check in this week on them!
  • We started calling it Zeno after a name in DH's family tree that we knew we would never ever use. Then my MIL told us she wasn't a fan of the name Emmett (wasn't even one we were considering, haha) and then she attached that to the front of Zeno, making it Emmett Zeno, aka EZ. 

    SO, long story short we are calling it little EZ :)

    P.s. wedon't even know boy or girl yet, but it will probably stay EZ until born

    bahhaah I used to call my friend's baby cletus when it was still in the womb, and when we found out it was a girl - cletessa.

    I usually call it by it's fruit of the week. I really enjoyed avacado this week. it used to be joe the embryo

  • We call it Newbie (because it's the new baby) as opposed to "the baby" which is still our current son.

    We called our son Khan, because he was our second pregnancy (our first was a miscarriage).  So he was Baby 2, Wrath of Khan.

  • We call our baby Poppy because when we found out the baby was the size of a poppy seed. We change up the he/she depending on our mood...we would be happy with either since this is our first child. Not sure whether we will continue to call the baby poppy after we find out the sex or the names we have already decided on.

  • We were having trouble coming up with a nick name and the Dr called the baby Charlie when doing the ultra sound so we stuck with it. I love Charlotte for a girl  ( calling her Charlie) but we probably wont ever use it and we wont be naming the baby Charles if it's a boy once it's born so it's kind of a wired nickname if you ask me but it works for DH and me for now.

  • We call the baby "bean" or just "the baby". I'm sure I've said other things at other times, too, though. I also refer to the baby as a "he" sometimes after having a strong feeling I'm pregnant with a boy a few days ago, lol.
