Any nicknames out there?

RinnersRinners
in Pregnant after a Loss
My mom called me last night to ask what she could put on christmas present tags for the baby. I told her that I have yet to nickname this one. Last time I walked around calling the baby "joey". This time I am way too scared to do anything like that. I am still waiting for my second appt to be absolutely excited. I have had one great appt with a 180hb, however after reading all sorts of posts from other people I havent seen another one that is that high (that sorta freaks me out!) In the end she decided to put on the tag, Scerin, Scott and Erin combined. Nice mom real nice!

    DH nicknamed this one Pico. Although I have no idea where he got that from.

    I call my baby Finney, because I really want to name him Finnegan (it will have to be another choice), and I can't help that I already think of him that way.

    My dad is a pretty silly good ole boy.  He has called people Gaylord and Gaylene Gripsachel for years.  So, when we told him we were having a boy, he started calling him "Grip", short for Gripsachel.  I actually think it's kind of cute and it makes me smile.

    We don't really have any nicknames for our baby, although my sister and BIL have been calling the baby giraffe (both my DH and I are tall and they think we're going to have a huge baby!).

    Also, I don't think 180 bpm is high for a heartrate, the h/b for our baby has been like that several times.  It has slowed down a little since, now it is around 160-165 bpm when I use the doppler.

    Don't be worried about the HB.  Ours started out pretty high too.  At my last appt the nurse told me that the HBs always start out high and get lower as the baby grows.  Our baby's HB was around 167 at 7 weeks and now averages around 145-155.  And at 180, you fall within the healthy range. I'd be more concerned about a low HB!

    I don't have any nicknames, but just wanted to share that with you.

    We call our baby Potato. But after finding out she is a girl we have been calling her "Mississippi Mud-flap" (super long story with that one). But my mom keeps calling her Mud-flap because we won't tell her her real name. It is funny.

    DH and I call the baby "Wigglie".  At our 11 wk u/s, the tech told us we had a "wigglie baby", and it just stuck with us.  I actually think I might have a hard time calling the baby by his or her real name once its born, I'm so used to saying Wigglie. Smile

    We have a name for this baby and I still just call her "she" or the baby.  We had a cat growing up named Emily, so I kind of feel like I'm talking to/about the cat instead of the baby if I call her Emily.

    Although, if she's kicking a lot, I do call her Miss Lady Jane, which is what my mom called my sister and I if we were getting out of hand.

    With my m/c, everyone, inlcuding me and DH, called our little one "Baby Barry"...our last name. With this pg, many people still automatically refer to our child as Baby Barry, and it makes DH and I cringe because to us, Baby Barry is in Heaven. This little one has become affectionately known to us as Porkchop! A little name I came up with, and then at our 8 week u/s, he actually looked like a porkchop!! It was very fitting :)

    h/b at 6wks 5days = 120-130

    h.b at 9 weeks = 184?

    We call her Ginger.  Kind of an inside joke, but it works for us.  Like May, at this rate that will be her actual name because we can't seem to come up with one!
