What do you call your LO?

What do/did you call your little one before you knew the sex or had a name picked out? And why did you call him/her that? I'm 20 weeks and still don't know the sex so I'm continuing to call mine "Hamster." Baby is small, very active,high heart rate and furry just like a hamster. My mom thinks it's weird but I find it fitting.

My last pregnancy was with twins. They were both called little one since the only place I felt kicks is where they were closest and there way no telling who was doing the actual kicking. Lost my son at 23 weeks and delivered my daughter at 27 weeks. Still call her little one since she's still on the small side.

Before we knew there was going to be two of them, I called my little girl Freddy French fry, the Fred part being part of a long running joke with a good friend of its and the French fries from when all I could eat and keep down in my first trimester was French fries. Now that we know there's twins, we just call them our sweet little girls.

Since he started moving we've referred to him as little ninja. We have a very active baby! I'm 35 weeks and he still moves like crazy. Like clockwork every day you see him roll around my stomach. His kicks are so strong they knock my phone off my belly. And if daddy is talking to him forget it he loses it and goes crazy in there.

Right when I knew I was pregnant I called my baby "little man" mainly because I knew I would have a boy. And I was right. My little man is already here and is my world.

My hubby calls our baby junior even tho we don't know it's gender. I call Baby (love) or (precious). In about 7 weeks we will be finding out the gender of our little one. Yet we have the names picked out

Those are all very fitting and cute. I especially like Gremlin because my Nick name growing up was Gizmo.

Most of the time? "Baby". Sometimes "Little Bug" since my 4-year-old is "Bug" too but usually just "Baby". Only ten weeks or so left to go before my due date, then we'll find out who we've got in there.
