Cute. I love it. I forgot, also call him kicky for the same reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-62264 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:53:48 +0000 pastemoo 62264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call him baby, buddy, little guy, and since the anatomy scan ultrasound, mr. lickey (he was licking his hand), or mr. kick myself in the face (he did that on 'camera' too). and some times mr. lickey mckickmyselfintheface. And little lickey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-62218 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:28:50 +0000 eeh 62218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point I refer to it as an alien because of the havoc it has wreaked on my body in terms of morning sickness, acne, and greasy hair. My husband just calls it baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-61959 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:34:32 +0000 sulli301 61959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her (and even before we knew she was a she) "berry" because one of our friends asked when I was going to start showing &amp; I said "Right now she is only the size of a raspberry" &amp; it stuck. Actually, a lot of our friends STILL call her the berry lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-61188 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:00:34 +0000 jennylynn 61188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never really found a nickname that felt right. Now at 28 weeks, we just call her by her name. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-60459 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:16:54 +0000 cascademom 60459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call mine "Buddy" or "jellybean" when I'm talking to it and giving it my growing pep talks. Is it weird that I rub the top of my uterus and my stomach does morning sickness circles on me? I like to think of that as my jellybean listening to me or something. I'm 10 weeks today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-60453 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:13:33 +0000 MsMini 60453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started calling our LO Ziggy (for Ziggy the Zygote) as soon as we knew I was pregnant. Ziggy has stuck, but I usually call baby the Zigmeister, or since he/she has started assaulting the inside of my uterus, Kickypants. I think Ziggy might stick as a nickname forever, because friends, family and co-workers refer to our baby as Ziggy in conversation now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-60285 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:25:07 +0000 KRunRun 60285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somehow my sister and I ended up referring to the baby as Booger, as in "the little booger." Mostly just Booger now. My husband keeps threatening to make it official if it's a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-60275 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:10:03 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 60275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Jack was "Lemon"- not too tart and not too sweet! Obviously our second isn't a belly baby, so it makes it harder to come up with a nickname. We asked expectant mom if she has a nickname and her response was "No way!"... But since I've become a blogger bee, we've taken to calling the baby "Jack Jack" from the Incredibles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-60267 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:50:24 +0000 Weagle 60267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH gave her the in utero name of Sneakers :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59799 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:44:20 +0000 tequiero21 59799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just call them my lil babies. i did call them munchkins, poppy seeds, baby A &amp; baby B.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59790 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:40:31 +0000 Boogs 59790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly called him fetus, not the cutest or most original lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59783 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:37:56 +0000 lemondrop 59783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: mine did the same thing... only he would cheer him on to kick me sometimes. </p> <p>He scolded him when we were ready for him to come out and my husband wanted to start paternity leave early. Cam made him wait until the last day of work, and my water broke when my husband was on the phone with an emergency that needed to be seen (vet)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59781 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:37:06 +0000 Colekbl 59781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call the baby LBL Little Baby Lastname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59563 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:37:00 +0000 winniebee 59563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to amend my answer - I realize that I when I am by myself and talking to the baby (mostly when he is moving) I call him Buddy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59560 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:36:20 +0000 lovehoneybee 59560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we've just used whatever fruit the baby is measuring as that particular day...so last week s/he was a prune (although we decided to use strawberry instead) and this week s/he's my little lime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59533 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:29:51 +0000 mediagirl 59533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband told his co-workers we weren't sharing our LO's name so they came up with a bunch of names for her. The guys then took all the nicknames and strung them together for:<br /> Lady bird Martha Washington Eleanor Roosevelt Hopkins. I just laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59522 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:27:26 +0000 singingbee 59522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters call the baby, Hooper, kind of after a joke. My mom calls the baby 'velveeta' and my aunt has a ton of names that she calls it all at once. Hubby and I call it the baby. We are really original. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59446 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:12:58 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 59446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used "Emby" (short for embryo) for a long time, until we found out the sex. Then we gradually transitioned to using his name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59349 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:48:18 +0000 j0s1e267 59349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babycentre used to describe their size using fruits and it was cute when it was blueberry, raspberry, strawberry but we kinda balk when it became kum quat which is so not cute!!! Since we did not know the sex till pretty late, we started calling DD #1 Sheepy Berry where Sheepy is what DH calls me. So since before she was born until now at 31 months, we still call her Sheepy Berry :)</p> <p>As for her twin sisters, we just called them Little Berries, one is supposed to be La La Berry and the other Mo Mo Berry but somehow, they aren't sticking .... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59256 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:08:45 +0000 aunt pol 59256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call them the belly lodgers most of the time, and Your Children when I'm moaning about their effect on my bladder:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59249 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:05:38 +0000 cheesetomywhine 59249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALittleP: Oh and I love Roo!

My husband likes to try to "scold" the fetus when he makes me too hungry, or causes something unpleasant to happen. I'm like, you know that's useless for at least another year and a half, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59235 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:57:50 +0000 chopsuey 59235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called ours "eggi" (baby in Korean). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59232 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:57:22 +0000 cheesetomywhine 59232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call ours Tot, which is short for Tater Tot. My hubby was eating them at the time and decided that was going to be his/her nickname since we aren't finding out the gender :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59215 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:48:50 +0000 lemondrop 59215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: and he knows that he still is the boss. I tried to stop in at work today for everyone to meet him, as soon as we started talking shop, he threw a fit!</p> <p>We started calling him the boss when morning sickness kicked in. My husband was amazed that I could go from normal to puking in 3.5 seconds... he realized that we were no longer in charge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59209 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:45:51 +0000 winniebee 59209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: I like "the boss!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59205 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:43:09 +0000 lemondrop 59205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gummy bear early on, Monster, The Boss, Baby Hoff, The Boy. </p> <p>The last couple of weeks after we settled on a name we called him Shrimp King (and still do), it is a play on his name in Spanish (close enough) Cameron Ray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59186 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:15:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 59186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't said it out loud - in fact, I've only started thinking it this week, as I'm only 5 weeks! But our boy name is Graham, and I'm convinced we're having a boy, so I've been referring to it (to myself) as graham cracker. HAHA. I'm horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-nickname-for-your-unborn-baby#post-59168 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:57:03 +0000 winniebee 59168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are lame and called the baby "it" or "the baby" until we found out the gender. Once we found out it's a boy we call him "him" "baby boy" or "your son". Lame! </p>
