It's going to get confusing with initials though, my step-daughters have the same initial as my son! We have 3 C's and 1 M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-dsdd-or-first-initial#post-766393 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:24:06 +0000 oliviaoblivia 766393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @birdofafeather All of the above depending on the thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-dsdd-or-first-initial#post-766388 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:16:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 766388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I interchange E and DS a lot, and very rarely LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-dsdd-or-first-initial#post-766379 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:08:59 +0000 birdofafeather 766379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i voted first initial, but i use them all depending on the thread! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-dsdd-or-first-initial#post-766377 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:07:46 +0000 loveisstrange 766377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use her first initial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-dsdd-or-first-initial#post-766375 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:06:13 +0000 yin 766375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use LO and will most likely go by DS/DD once my second LO arrives.

But that gets difficult when you have two like you do. I think in that case I'd start with initials. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-dsdd-or-first-initial#post-766332 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:43:00 +0000 runsyellowlites 766332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you usually refer to your bebe here on Hellobee? For the longest I used DS &amp; DD, BUT since feeling like I've "gotten to know" more of the bees around here &amp; their bubs I've begun using G's &amp; P's first initial. I think it feels more familiar.</p> <p>So what do you use?</p> <p>ETA: The more I think about I think I started using their initials more when I started talking about G more often, which for the longest I didn't since he's so much older than most the bubs around here. </p>
