25 weeks here... Used to call the baby as "bub" short for bubble... Found out we are having a boy... We call him "bubba" :-) named after Bubba the caveduck from the cartoon series duck tales, we watched growing up :-)
We call ours penguin as I got pregnant from a frozen embryo transfer I'll know next week via blood test what I am having I'm bored right now and just popped over here out of curiosity lol
About 5 hours before I found out I was pregnant, I was at work and not feeling very well. My coworkers joked around saying I was probably pregnant, but I said it was probably a just a food baby, or a "burger" baby. Well, I ended up going home early and taking a test, and it definitely wasn't a burger! But the name stuck here at the office. Now everybody asks how the burger's doing lol
My friend and I were throwing around boy names (I find out the sex next month) for fun, and I said "I like the name Emerson...but I also don't actually want to name my child Emerson?" and now my friends and I call "him" Emerson/Em/Baby E. I told another friend I was pregnant when baby E was the size of a kumquat so she only calls "him" that, saying "He shall always be kumquat to me!" haha! 8->
After 5 miscarriages, i hardly even dared believe i was pregnant till 12 weeks, and at 12 weeks, a baby is supposed to be the size of a lime, so the name stuck. Definately not lime sized now though! Im 25-26 weeks now and just huge at least i think i am
Our little squirmy has so many nick names. My stomach looked like an Easter egg for a while so I called her Easter Egg. My husband goes with Peter, Alien and sometimes whatever fruit/vegetable is on the bump. He likes pulling exotic fruits out of nowhere too.
Gonzo. My SIL named him since we aren't sharing our little boys name yet... It lightens the mood whenever someone is disappointed we aren't sharing the name :-)
We call our little one Kermit because first sonogram looked like a frog! its caught on with most of family and friends. My Hubby's grandpa has different name each time we visit. They've been all boy names so know what he's hoping for! :-).
We call our baby Hackie Sack. (After the rice filled ball you must keep of the ground). We mentioned once that the baby was in a sac and then hackie sack just came up and stuck.
We've been calling him Tripod since my dating ultrasound at 9 weeks...you could clearly see the tail between his little gummy bear legs at that point. Now that we know it's a boy, DH is REALLY enjoying calling him Tripod, haha. We're not sharing the name with family yet, so that's been our filler name when we're talking to people.
We typically just say baby now, but at the beginning we said alien (after we read about all the transformations the baby goes through, like eyes starting on the sides of the head, etc. -- our little alien! )
We have a 2 yr old and we've been calling new baby either New Baby or Second (insert 2 yr old's name.) But today we found out we're team blue so we might start calling him by what name we like.
mine has changed with her size.. first it was jelly bean, then it was gummy bear, and now its itty bitty even though we know her name we still call her itty bitty!
We call the baby "Little Bogey" (rhymes with soggy). Hubby is "Big Bogey", I'm just "Bogey" so naturally we had to continue the trend with our little one Not sure if we'll stick with it after he or she is born, though.
