I don't think we've had this one yet, but nicknames have come up in other threads. What do you call your little baby now that he/she is still in your belly?

Ours is Boontje ('Boan-cha'), which is Dutch for Little Bean. DH has decided that if LO is Little Bean, I am now his Pod. :P

We call ours Sweet Pea.

I call it 'the bug' or 'little bug' because I thought the first ultrasound looked like... well, a bug. Haha

So far we have been calling it whatever the weekly fruit/veggie comparison is. For example; we are at 8 weeks now so it's our little raspberry.

Jellybean or baby walker as that's our last name. Once we kno sex the baby will be called by name.

We call ours Lentil.

Rabäääh, which is a how you would write one of the sounds a baby makes when crying in German (we are German).

Blueberry!! My little blueberry Awh!! Because that's it's teeny little size when we found out.

Since my addition to aubergines this nickname has now developed to little Aubergine Blueberry White (partners surname)

I stole it from the FB group I am part of with my first BMB, but "2.0". It stuck when I said it to DH.

DH named baby little panda. He said it looked like a panda. We are team green so this will be baby's name till May 1st!

Bitty Baby!

Little nugget! At my first u/s appointment, I said "Here's the little nugget", and it just stuck!

vmroyer · October 2015

We have taken to calling her (I believe it will be a girl) Peanut! Not creative I know, but it seems to fit!

CMBoothman · October 2015

B Baby 3! Our last name is Boothman and this will be our 3rd.

We call our baby "the bump"

alwaysdream · October 2015

Before we got pregnant we would say Maybe Baby. Now that we know we use size reference. Sweet pea and Blueberry, but our usual is -the thing, or -It. As we are keeping the gender a secret Ha-ha.

TabbyBran3 · October 2015

We call ours nugget or littlest one. We call our youngest dog little one so it made sense that our first baby would be littlest one

DoubleElle84 · October 2015

We've been calling it baby bean. I don't want to use he/she til we know, because my daughter will get stuck on whatever we've been using, and will get confused if it's the opposite

conrkm38 · October 2015

Some of these are just too funny! My best friend started calling it "baby bat" since my husband's nickname is batman. Lol!

SunnySurprise · October 2015

We call ours our little Cookie because I've been craving cookies ever since I got pregnant. Sometimes we'll call it Pumpkin or simply Baby.

Ours is a ridiculous. My husband all the sudden one day said "Shemp" because it sounds absolutely ridiculous with our last name. But he has good logic...right now it's DH, our dog, and me (three stooges). Shemp is the name of the little known fourth stooge.
