Since getting our BFP we have referred to them as our Little Nuggets, I think that will stick till I deliver. Now that we know their sexes & are working on names we will probably start calling them by their names also (once we figure them out)!
Me: 37, DH: 42 Married March 22, 2003 TTC since early 2006, Fertility treatments since 02/2013 First Pregnancy with Twins EDD 10.24.2014
my husband also calls him Blasto--which we've been using since I told my husband he was technically called a blastocyst very early on:) my brother found out and only refers to the baby as Blasto now, so the nickname (unfortunately!) might stick. I call him Baby or Baby Mal or Malcolm, his name.
We called her fetus for I while lol. When we first got the BFP I started singing the song Pheobe on Friends sang to her uterus when the embryos were implanted (Are you in there little fetus? In 9 months will you come greet us? I will buy you some Adidas). My DH picked up on it and started to call the baby fetus. Now that we know she's a girl we just call her by her name (Madison or Maddy)!
Oh, I forgot to add that my brother (in nursing school) ever so endearingly nicknamed the baby "zygote" when I was about 7 weeks along. So she's now referred to as zygote or "gote" by brothers, my boss and coworkers.
I had been calling her a parasite, but now I've switched to "your child" when I talk to my husband about what she's up to in there. We need to decide on a name soon so we can actually call her a real name!
Eggy because we got a picture of the embryo before it was implanted and Adam said “aww what a cute little Eggy” (even though it was an embryo and not and egg). The name stuck as she is our miracle Eggy

It was mostly baby or critter until we found out it's a boy. Now we call him Cal and FIL calls him Calzone, which his FN and MN combined and a couple letters rearranged.
