You'd think at 23 weeks we'd have one but we don't and since we're team green I'm getting tired of just "baby" and don't like "it"</p> <p>Hmmmm... gonna have to think of something for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby/page/2#post-23727 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:05:00 +0000 MamaLove 23727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a fun nickname yet! My hubs is the master of nicknames, but hasn't given the baby one yet. I'm only 7+ weeks so it's pretty early! I think we may wait for a few more appointments! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-23593 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:49:54 +0000 themcmom 23593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had Moose and Wombat.

I think we used "fetus" alot until we knew the gender/name.</p> <p>our second was called "2.0", "baby 2.0" or "version 2.0"... This especially stuck for the entire pregnancy because I was Team Green and we didn't totally decide on possible names until after she arrived. She's 4 months now and we occasionally still call her that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22830 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 10:40:35 +0000 Weagle 22830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has a hard time being serious when we discuss potential baby names, and the one silly name that stuck was "Sneakers." So, for now, Sneakers it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22761 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:02:13 +0000 rachiecakes 22761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call him bubs, buddy boy, big fella.. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22738 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:42:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 22738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just call it bebe2.

We also referred to him as fetus a lot, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22625 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:09:34 +0000 cyneswith 22625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@L2sweetpea: I like the idea of Raspberry!

We're Team Green so it may just remain sticky baby until it makes its arrival! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22546 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:35:10 +0000 L2sweetpea 22546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called her all sorts of things. We were team green so we didn't know gender. Sometimes we called her "it" (which I hated)...other times she was my parasite, aliem, wiggle monster, raspberry,etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22489 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:43:53 +0000 Navy_Mommy 22489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's my little sea monkey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22485 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:20:12 +0000 cyneswith 22485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My goddaughter was Speck, as in expecting (I forget her older brother's womb name - youngest didn't have one), and a cousin's unborn baby is Pickle. My nephew was Monkey (his mom adores monkeys, for the record.) I'm thinking we'll have Munchkin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22480 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:05:15 +0000 erinpye 22480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: My friend is calling hers Poppy right now, too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22478 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:03:36 +0000 erinpye 22478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her wiggle worm or WW before we knew she was a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22456 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:51:37 +0000 winniebee 22456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 14 wks and we still refer to the baby as "baby" or "it". Not very creative!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22449 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:39:23 +0000 Mrs. D 22449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until we knew we were having a girl, we referred to her as Timbit. I recently posted about this on my blog actually. In real life we now call her by her real name most of the time, but online she'll remain Timbit for now, and once she's born she'll be dubbed something else for the blog, I just don;t know what yet. Maybe she'll stay Timbit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22440 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:57:04 +0000 owlmom 22440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called our baby Poppy when she was in the womb. I'm not sure why - just totally random.</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: I love "tiny tyrant"! I may have to adopt that nickname for my 6 week old when she is acting crazy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22436 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:20:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 22436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we call our baby Lemon because we love martinis with a twist.</p> <p>We also sometimes call it the "tiny tyrant" when I'm feel especially like caca. I'll go "ugh I don't feel good!!!" and my husband will say "tiny tyrant acting up again?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22431 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:58:39 +0000 momentspassslow 22431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well our baby has arrived already but we used to call him buoy. As in a buoy in the water. Long story short my husband has always wanted a boat and my response was "babies before boats" ... so this baby was our little buoy on the way to getting the boat. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22429 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:52:04 +0000 MsMamaBear 22429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her Baby Bear. We call each other Mama and Papa Bear because we snore, so it's only right baby be Baby Bear.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22422 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:23:47 +0000 prettylizy 22422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started off with Tater Tot, then it became Tater. We also adopted the name The Stig or Stiggy (a reference to the British TV show Top Gear... their pro driver is an unknown person who is always in full racing gear and helmet, you never find out his identity/name/face). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22404 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:27:45 +0000 mamabolt 22404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call the baby a joking name based on our last name...for example if our last name was Johnson, it would be Johnny. We tell people very seriously that we are considering this name for the baby (and it's more unisex based on our real last name) and a few people have actually believed us and tried to pretend they think it's a nice name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22383 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:23:58 +0000 mediagirl 22383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love some of the names you are using! I am mostly calling the baby by what BabyCenter says it's size is this week. Right now - our little lemon. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22381 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:02:12 +0000 MegWag 22381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started out with just "the baby". Lately, since we know it's a boy, we refer to him as a different (generally ridiculous) name each time. We still haven't settled on what his actual name will be, so I guess it's just like trying out different ones to see if anything fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22373 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 02:37:45 +0000 looch 22373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frances/Francis. We didn't know the gender, and that's a name that sounds masculine and feminine. No idea where I got that from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bees-what-do-you-call-the-baby#post-22361 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 23:51:11 +0000 MsMini 22361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called him/her Ziggy (the Zygote in the very beginning), then after the second ultrasound we started calling him/her Ziggly Wiggly, because it was bouncing around so much. Now it seems like he/she is going to be large, because it is measuring big all the time, so we are starting to refer to him/her as Piggly Wiggly. </p>
