Baby hoot, I've had an infatuation with owls for years. I've been blogging about our infertility journey for almost 5 years. But I do it anonymously since my husband is in the military. We have owl names on there and I always referred to our future baby as little hoot.
We call the little one "Blastie" since the blastocyst is the first stage when the sperm fertilized the egg. we did IVF. We even have a pic at that stage from the embryologist.

Full term healthy baby boy born on 2-11-16 Jan 29, 2018: FET Feb 8. 2018: BFP! Mar 6: weak heartbeat.
I go back and forth between baby, peanut, and munchkin. Nothing else has permanently stuck. Was saying baby z, but found out my fiance actually wants to take my last name (bad relationship with his family and mine loves him). So now it's Baby S, but that has less of a ring to it.
We called DD peanut. Our last baby (ended in loss) we called Chang because if we have a boy, my husband wants his first name to start with a 'c' but we cant agree on a 'c' name. So, as a joke, I suggested Chang and stuck with it. This baby we are calling scrambler since I rode the scrambler at a theme park two days before my BFP not knowing I was Prego.
My SIL is terrible with names, and she is always calling my cat Maverick, even though her name is MacGyver. My husband and I joke that if we ever got another cat, we would name it Maverick just to confuse her. Well, we went and got a baby instead, so we've been referring to the LO as Maverick.
I'm calling our little peanut Zinski after my grandfather's Polish last name of Gwiaździński (which he changed to Stark . . . sooooo boring!) but the hubbs is not a fan. So far he hasn't come up with anything though, so I'm sticking with Zinski!
I call mine bug, when it's a good day with symptoms, and not going to lie, I call baby demon spawn when it's a really bad day with symptoms. Jigsaw is what some of my family call the baby because one of the US pics looks like the guy from the saw movies ) Edited to add jigsaw once I remembered
lol we call the ours baby alien! Only because when we first heard a heart beat it, the doctor moved the monitor too fast and it made a swooping sound then BAM heartbeat!
Ours is "the beast." Since the beginning of the pregnancy, whenever I get hungry my husband says "Gotta feed the beast!" We usually just call it the baby, though.
