Did you call baby by their actual name before they were born?

    Yes, even before we found out the gender, we were calling her by her name. We were really hoping for a girl!

    Yup! It's the only thing we call him We were using the nickname we choose for a long time so I went back to using his full name so I would still be used to it when he came haha. DH uses the nickname almost exclusively. ETA: We only use it between ourselves, not around other people.

    Apparently DH really hates when people refer to him as "Baby" like it is his name (i.e. When Baby comes...) I always tell him it's silly to get annoyed about that because we haven't shared his name with people yet!

    Yep, once we found out he was a boy at 13 weeks, we started calling him by his name!

    @blackbird: lol. It weirded me out too. Shetus. genius.

    Nope! It was weird. I wasn't sold on the name and wanted to make sure it suited him before I got attached to it. And yea, it took a few weeks to put the face & name together.
