So far, nothing much to report, except that my boobies hurt really bad,ly, and they have gotten bigger over the last 2-3 days (DH is thrilled). Other than that, i haven't been having much cramping recently. I MAY have had my first food aversion--I made myself hummus and avocado on wheat bread for lunch, and I only made it through half the sandwich before getting grossed out by the taste of those two things. How about you?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-83278 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:02:08 +0000 Tidybee 83278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: how are you feeling?? I think we are the exact same day along! I've had only one tiny bout of queasiness after skipping lunch one day.<br /> We call it the baguette in the oven instead of the bun because he/she was conceived in Paris :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-82920 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:25:27 +0000 afarrell 82920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already know the gender of our baby. So we call him by his name - Logan :) or sometimes I will just call him baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-82911 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:15:13 +0000 sera_87 82911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i call it a parasite or an asshole. Yes, Mother of the Year over here.</p> <p>I'm sure once we know the sex we'll start referring to it by name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-82880 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:26:34 +0000 cranberryapple 82880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone has such cute names! We call it the "baby" in reference to the future, but in the mean time, we do call it what it is...a fetus! I'm embarrassed to admit that! &gt;_&lt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-82076 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:47:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 82076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call her either Bebe or whatever fruit The Bump tells me it is that week. So last week I called her my "little orange", and this week she's "my avocado". DH (jokingly) calls her "the parasite". </p> <p>(We're Team Green, I just dislike calling the baby "it" and "she/her" sounds more natural to me.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-82075 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:40:42 +0000 BeachMama 82075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call her Poppy. At one point she was supposedly the size of a poppyseed, my husband just started calling her Poppy (even though at that time we didn't know the sex). We're pretty sure on a name now, but we still call her Poppy. Or sometimes I call her Baby Girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81966 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:26:26 +0000 hilsy85 81966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: Thanks! :) I'm about 5 1/2 weeks and so far so good...<br /> @MsMini: hah great minds think alike obviously :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81956 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:00:28 +0000 calsmom 81956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're naming him Cooper, so we've been calling him mini Cooper. My husband also calls him tater tot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81912 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:03:58 +0000 MsMini 81912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I also call ours Ziggy (as in Ziggy the Zygote) LOL - you are the first other person I have heard use that name. I also use the names "Kickypants" and "Piggly Wiggly" lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81894 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:12:00 +0000 twinmama 81894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're boring and usually just call them 'babies'. Now that we know the genders, we're getting more used to calling them their actual names, but I sometimes feel more affectionate calling them 'baby boy' and 'baby girl'. Funny thing is that baby A actually has the name starting with the letter B ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81892 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:08:00 +0000 anbanan15 81892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I know right?! For some reason it just seems so fitting lol. He's 10 months and we still call him the baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81886 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:54:19 +0000 cheesetomywhine 81886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: How funny! My mum thinks we should go with the name Tate :P We're also Team Green so Tot it shall be until he/she arrives!</p> <p>P.S. I've never seen Top Gear but cute reference! We went with Tater Tot since my DH likes them lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81849 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:21:17 +0000 joyjoy 81849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gummybear. I used to tease DH while we were dating by calling him Bear because he's so hairy. The name stuck, and I still call him Bear as a nickname. When we found out we were pregnant, he started calling the baby Gummybear because it's like a little Bear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81827 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:55:37 +0000 pastemoo 81827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kickey, lickey, buddy, baby, little poop face, many many more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81780 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:17:40 +0000 skibobrown 81780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I didn't know you were pregnant. Congrats!<br /> We've called ours Babu since very early on. More recently we call her "Wiggles", now that I feel her kick and wriggle around all the time. She also has a real name, but I don't like using it too often. I want to wait until she's actually born for that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81770 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:06:04 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 81770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my husband is talking to him (he puts his head really close to my belly and tells him how much he loves him) he calls him by his name. I call him little guy or baby usually. Sometimes, when he kicks somewhere that hurts, I call him a little turd ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81764 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:03:18 +0000 prettylizy 81764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: No one gets the Stig reference, they just think DH and I are crazy!

When he got bigger, I called him "Francis/Frances" because it's a name that sounds both male and female (we were team green).</p> <p>I have a seahorse charm for my bracelet, makes me smile.</p> <p>Prettylizy...love Top Gear. I watch it every week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81725 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:22:25 +0000 prettylizy 81725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with Tater Tot as well, and shortened it to Tater, and also Stiggy or The Stig after the driver from top gear. Wiki-description below... it fits 'cause we're Team Green</p> <p>"...character in the British motoring television show Top Gear. The character plays on the anonymity of racing drivers' full-face helmets, with the running joke that nobody knows who, or indeed what, is inside the character's racing suit" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81723 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:20:52 +0000 yoursilverlining 81723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call her Lemon, for the lemon twist in a gin martini. We also call her the Tiny Tyrant when I feel like ca-ca from pregnancy (so basically, that was her name for the whole first trimester!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81719 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:14:35 +0000 His Barista 81719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we found out the sex we called her Peanut.

Coincidentally, the names we picked out for them both have strong "A" and "Bee" sounds to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-the-baby-in-your-belly#post-81702 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:54:40 +0000 heffalump 81702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pig toy that we named Ziggy for LO.</p> <p>We never had a nickname.
