DD was (and still is) munchkin. This one is Phoenix.
Because my brother insisted that DD was really a boy and the only acceptable boys name is Phoenix...so it is sort of a family joke that DD should have been Phoenix. We haven't told my brother yet though - he will be happy!
I call it "Bug" or" Little Bugger". DH, however, referred to it as "Schrodinger" when we were in our 2 ww post IVF (yes, we are geeks and DH "named" the embryo after a theoretical paradox). But he decided that was too long once we get our BFP, so he shortened it to "Schroeder"
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
Kind of random, but in the movie Frosty the Snowman, before the kids decide on the name "Frosty", one of them suggests "Oatmeal." So, we've gone with Oatmeal, "Oats" for short :-P
We've been using "spawn" or "demon." I have also been referring to being pregnant as "my parasitic condition" around the kids b/c we haven't told them yet.
ETA: I realize my choices sound a little twisted. :P
LOL...right now we are calling them Poppy 1 and Poppy 2 b/c they were the size of poppy seeds when we found out and we thought it was funny. More than likely we just keep referring to them as little ones

We're really bad at this. He keeps saying "it" and I don't like the word so I use "them" -- and that really freaks him out, haha!
I've heard people say jellybean and if I can get used to saying that, I will!
it's funny you say this, because we call ours "nugget"

We just say baby...I am boring and can't get into cute nicknames
For DS, we called him "baby boy" from the time we found out what he was until he was born since we couldn't decide on a name. So creative, I know!
Son 4/27/12, Son 10/15/14, Daughter 9/29/16....Baby #4 due 10/09/19! Apparently we get really bored in January
