Do you have any nicknames for your LO? Are they the same or different than the ones you had during your pregnancy?
We found out at 15 weeks that we were having a girl, so we called her Lauren during my whole pregnancy. Before that we were convinced we were having a boy so we called her Matthew, LOL!
Now we call her Lauren, L Baby, Lo, Lolo, Girlfriend and Sweat Pea. Our son calls her Missy, which is totally adorable.
Re: What are your babies' nicknames?
Rosebud, boo boo, booger, goober, and Laurasaur.
Her nn in utero was Albie or Albus (after the greatest wizard ever, of course). She doesn't get called that very often anymore. I got a picture of her playing with a toy wand today, too, so maybe she'll take after her namesake.
I call her Banana, and Goose now. I called her silly goose a lot, so it's now shortened to just Goose! I call her fuss fuss, said like Gus Gus from Cinderella, when she's fussy. I rarely refer to her as Anna unless I'm talking to strangers.
Sweet Pea, Bebe, Lottie Belle. DH calls her Boo Boo.
BFP 3.8.16 EDD 11.20.16
Angel when he was newborn and now mostly Munchkin. When I text DH about him I say "baby" because it's easier to type than his name. I really only ever say his actual name when I'm trying to get his attention to feed him.
ETA: When he's fussy he's "Whiney-pants."
I call her little Bean. My mother and sister call her Mimi.
DD's name is Alyssa. Sometimes I call her Lyssa or Lyssa-Boo. She's also called Boo, Boo-Baby, and Bug. When I was a baby, I was Boo or Boo-Little. My sister still calls me Boo-Little.
My dad calls her Goonie Bird, I have no idea where that came from.
My Colton...Growing up so fast!
And Coralee, his baby sister...On the way!
We didn't have a nickname for DD when I was pregnant, but we knew what her name would be before I got pregnant, so we always just called her Ashley.
Now, we call her Pea, Monkey, Chunka Munk, Spider Monkey, Jumping Bean and Peepers.
She has so many nicknames, she probably doesn't know what her real name is.
LOL. Our son is called Buddy 80% of the time and there are times he absolutely will not respond to me if I call him by anything else. Sometimes he'll only respond to "Baby Bud", it cracks me up!
Melodic Insomniac
Other than that we call him Boo Boo, Boyo, King Tut he toots all the time, bear and Angel.
TTC #2 since 10/2013
BFP #1 (4.14.14) ~ CP (4.18.14)
BFP #2 (6.27.14) ~ EDD 3.7.15
Before we announced my pregnancy, we referred to him in code by whatever "fruit" he was at the time (Sweet Pea, etc). Johnny Appleseed stuck, and we still call him that sometimes.
Now, his primary "public" nickname is Jules. If it's just my husband and me, we call him The Bagheeti... it started as Sweetie, was lengthened to Sweetie Bagheeti, then we dropped the Sweetie. Ha. We very rarely call him Julian, at home or elsewhere.
We call her Alice and Alice Ann. But most of the time I call her Sweet Girl. DH always called me Birdie or Love Bird. Now I hear him call her Birdie a lot. FIL calls her Pumpkin Pie. All of my nieces and my nephew call her Baby Alice, which is precious.
His real name is Logan. He doesn't have an official nickname, but we call him Logs (long "o"), Logy-logs (long "o"), hunny bunny, little man and jelly bean.
ETA: In utero, I referred to him as "Little Bun".
BFP #3 - 05.20.11, EDD - 01.31.12, Logan is here! 02.05.12
BFP #2 - 03.16.11, M/C 03.24.11

DH just calls him by his name- Ethan. I usually call him Tanko or Mr. Poopers :P DD pronounces his name like Eden, which is really cute!
BFP#3 9-4-13 Benjamin Lee born 4-28-14
Sweet Pickle, Sweet Girl, Stinky
My H once called her M'Nora (a la Andy from The Office who greeted Pam and Jim with M'Lady, M'Tuna). I thought it was great, but it didn't stick.
When we had our first ultrasound we thought she looked like a Teddy Graham so we called her Teddy. Once we knew she was a girl we began referring to her as Skyler or Sky Sky.
Now we call her Moo Moo, Moo, Sky Sky, and DH calls her Lochness because he said she is the lochness monster since she is always trying to eat our faces. I try to call her Skyler more often so she can learn her name.
Joshua gets shortened to Josh or Joshy, or lengthened to Jushuashua, which itself gets shortened to Joshywash. Also sometimes JoshKosh (like OshKoshB'Gosh)
Not related to his name, we call him The Baby, or Mr. Baby, which is sometimes le Bebe, or Monsieur Bebe. Lately, he likes B words, so Bubba, BubbaBaby, and Buggaboo have all surfaced.
When he is fussy, he becomes Mr. Fussypants, or Captain Fussypants, or Senor Fussypants.
Chloe Bean, Beanie Baby, Beanie, Bean... you see the common theme here? LOL
Before we knew we were having a girl, we referred to her as Dingbang. We saw that on a baby name list and cracked UP. After we found out she was a girl, we just called her Chloe. It wasn't til after she was born that all the "Bean" nicknames surfaced.
BFP #1 1/11/11 M/C 2/4/11

BFP #3 12/3/12 C/P 12/5/12

Now he is buddy, buddy boy, handsome pants, goose or toots. When he is cranky he is fuss pants.
Her official name is Abigail. But we usually call her Abby. We also call her sweetheart.
On our first ultrasound appointment he looked like a little demon. And he would kick me and get hiccups when I tried to sleep so when he was in the womb we called him Demon Baby. My mom and dad call him Squirmy Wormy and Monkey. I usually call him Monkey or Muffin. His dad calls him by his name, Dimitri. I wanted to start calling him Dimi for short, but it just doesn't feel right.
When he is being fussy, he reverts back to Demon Baby.
Little, Itty Bitty, Ramonster, Ramonasaurus, RammyLammy (Last name starts with Lam), pumpkin, muffin sack (this one originated from a muffin printed sleepsack, and then stuck), squishy, wiggle-butt...
I could go on for awhile. Often I just refer to her by random combinations of what she's doing or wearing. For example Rolly-pants or giggle-butt
He's named after our grandpas...Phillip James (official nn is PJ). My family calls him Pip bc that's what his initials look like on a burp cloth that we have and they think it's cute.
We call him peanut, buddy, stinker butt, stinker bink...which gets shortened to just bink or binker.
I have a friend named Alyssa and when she was little her little brother used to call her Sa. He still does it now too. I think it's really cute.
