Hi All! I know it's very early days yet, but thought it might be fun to find out how we all refer to the little ones we're carrying. We call ours "Scotch" as in scotch tape. After two prior losses, we're praying that this one will stick Anyone else have a funny nickname for bub?

Nacho She is due to join us in about 5 weeks and all evidence indicates that the nickname is going to stick. She is like Mexican food in that she has left my wife feeling bloated and gassy

During our first pregnancy 'Boomba' As I wanted that baby to be healthy and chubby. I haven't figured out a name for this one, I just keep saying 'that baby' not very inventive!

With DS it was peanut because like you LittleJacksonOne, I was reading my Up the Duff book and the measurement showed he would have been the size of a peanut! So it stuck! I honestly thought it would stick post birth but it didn't. Haven't decided with this one yet but I'm guessing it will probably be peanut again, or peanut#2!

We called DD jellybean from the time of the dating scan cause that's what she looked like on the screen. We haven't come up with anything for this one yet, maybe we will at the scan again

Bubs at this stage - not very imaginative. Last time I let DH choose and we ended up with tadpole that got shortened to Tad...

Hi Teeny Bopper - we call ours pip or pipsqueak. Actually comes from In the night garden - every episode the narrator says "isn't that a pip!" and one night DH turned to me and said we should call our next bub "pip".
