What is your nickname for the baby?

lkaylee721

We are currently calling ours Beaner, as in, it looks like a bean at first.  When we find out we'll of course start calling it their name.  What do you call yours?

Hi725

The gummy bear, or the monkey.

We'll find out next thursday what we're having, but we'll still have to talk in code because DH's family wants it to be a surprise.

I've seen all of the nn that people have on here (peanut, monkey...) and have decided that we're horrible un-original. Yes, 17 w in, we're still referring to it as 'da baby'.?

Ours was Cleatus the Fetus until we found out the sex - now it's baby Benjamin

mrsjazzsinger

IU_baby

We just call it Baby.

WaitingForMyMiracle

Baby... my brain lacks creativity.

Roosky

peanut.

rouge411

Maddie... but around DH I have to call her "The Baby" because he wants the sex to be a surprise!

ChiOmegaGirl

We just call him/her baby - until next Wednesday that is!

Covergirl137

Gertrude or Gerty.... lol, don't ask where it came from, cause I have NO IDEA. We just started calling her that, even before we knew she was a girl... poor kid...

Roothie427

At the start of both pregnancies we used the name peanut (that is what the first u/s looks like) then with DD#1 her nickname changed into angel (she is moma's little angel) so far with DD#2 we have just called her by her name Sienna.

usually, we just call it "the baby" but recently my BFF started calling it "critter" and that seems to be sticking since DH & I found ourselves using "critter" to refer to it several times this week.

Waldo.  Because every time the doc tries to use the doppler to find the HB, s/he moves away and it's a little like playing Where's Waldo.

TwinCitiesGirl

Little Dude. 

AlliVe

we had a bunch of nicknames..

the one that stuck until we decided on a name was blue (from the time he was the size of a blueberry)

my sister for some reason called him Winden, and my brother named him norman from the get go.

we now call him by name...Bowie, or Bo

wilberta2006

Until we found out the sex, we called our baby SamOrSarah.  Now we know, it's just Sam.

tugsgirl

BGT (Baby Girl Two). We talk on IM throughout the day, so we're big on abbreviations, lol!!

queenjohnston

Little Sweet Potato...

jnealet

Hellboy, since it looked like the cartoon at the first u/s.  Once we found out it was a girl, we've called her Emily Cate.

Stellar1

Dh and I usually just call it baby, or baby girl Cain (our last name). My best friend, sister and I nicknamed it Baby Baller (long story) before we found out that it was a girl, but now we call it Baby Ballerella.

This morning my dh wanted to call it Raechel b/c he is upset that everytime he tries to feel her move, she stops or is sleeping. My name is Raechel and I like to sleep a lot!

I love this - he totally needs a red and white striped shirt and a red beanie for his first pictures   (I guess I think you are having a boy :P )

 

KT31408

We know we are having a boy, but still most of the time call him the baby.  Before we knew we were having a boy we said baby or monkey.  Sometimes when he is really active and I am trying to sleep I call him a little monster, but mostly the baby or baby boy.  I still cant really use his name it seems weird to me.

TeamK07

We call it BK - stands for Baby K(last name).

babyformeg

We call ours the Shrimp. My husband is a chef and when we saw the pictures- you know when it still has a tail- he thought it looked like a shrimp. I am just glad it looks more like a baby than an appetizer.

karskaren

We called him Little Bear before we found out the gender (we went on a hike in the Smokies and saw a bear the day he was concieved!).  Now we are calling him Little Jack until we decide on a name (DH's dad's name is Jack) and I hope it sticks because I love the name Jack. 

Kelsey and Nick

We know the sex, but still call her Itty Bitty or our little wiggle worm.

babyjoy09

 My BF calls it Princess ( we don't even now the sex yet he's just sure third time is a charm for him LOL) i call it lil rugrat

MrsThomas2Be

We call our baby Tadpole.  It was a cute little name that stuck.  My nickname was always Frog, so it kinda fits.

11Lemon11

We call our little one Walnut. DH thought peanut was to commonly used so he picked a different nut.

Even after we found out it was a boy and gave him a name we still call him Walnut instead of Miles.

danie0819

My family, friends, and I call the baby lil' muffin even before we found out she was a girl.. I just knew it was a girl from the beginning! YAY

That's hilarious!  I should see if I can find something like that:)  Boy or girl, I still think it would be funny.

Vangiejo

Most the time we just call him Kyler (his name) or baby.  But when he is moving around a lot I call him Worm because he is a little Wiggle Worm.

MissRedEorNot

Lil Boom.  As a joke I said we would name the baby Boomer (our last name rhymes) so I call it lil Boom now.

Sonya Flanagan

we're irish.  lucky charm flanagan  LCF

hellcatjill

We call this baby the "new baby" because we also have a 16-month-old.  Gosh, that sounds terrible. 

in my life

Our's is really dorky, but we've been calling the baby Paddles. I was reading to DH about the development a few weeks back and it said the baby basically had paddles for hands and feet, and he started calling him/her that. It just stuck!

mandarod

We mostly call her "the baby" or refer to her as "she." We've just started to use her name, but we don't want to get in the habit and let it slip in front of people (we're keeping her name a secret from family & friends)!

womaningreen

Little One or Itty Bitty One

momsthree

I'm pretty traditional too, I call him Peanut.

Jen&John2005

The twins.  We're just not that creative.  We've got our big u/s scheduled for a week from today so we'll have actual names after that.
