DS1 it was 'the lodger'. DS2 was 'the new lodger'. Not very cute but we'd talk about having a new lodger in the house!

Effielou · 27/04/2009 12:21

I like it-- it cool!!! Hope they paid their rent on time!! lol x

We found out very early on about pg so bump became known as "The Amoeba" which has now become "Mebe" (Mee Bee)

Mine was called Alessandro after an Italian waiter, jokily blamed for the "condition", when we subsequently discovered it was a girl, it got changed to Myrtle.

I'm boring then 'bubba'! Although one of my friends nicknamed my first bump as 'prawn' then as I got bigger 'king prawn'

Effielou · 27/04/2009 12:28

They are all really cool-- xx

DS was T-Rex... He was re-nick-named Squeaky as soon as he was born cos he was so tiny and, well, squeaky!!... but I don't think it'll be too long before T-rex seems more appropriate again (He's 11MO now and turning into a wrecking ball by the day!)

DD (due AUgust) is simply bump...

BBisfinallyPG · 27/04/2009 13:47

mine is mango, I cant remember why or how but mango! altho the next one will be guava, gotta stick witha theme!

Iklboo · 27/04/2009 13:48

onetiredmummy · 27/04/2009 15:14

Niblet.

ilikeyoursleeves · 27/04/2009 15:15

Sparky, cos he was conceived on Bonfire Night

CandleQueen · 27/04/2009 15:16

Splodge after the first scan photos.

JustAFoolToBelieve · 27/04/2009 15:53

DD was Strawberry because all these baby books seem to liken the foetus's size to food. We got so used to calling her this that it nearly became her middle name! DC2 has been King Prawn but now is The Little Bugger since it moves so much and causes so much discomfort!

Effielou · 27/04/2009 16:01

I can relate to that-- especially the middle of the night bladder bounce!!!

Beccabump · 27/04/2009 16:34

Both of mine were/are monkeybump due to the crazy amount of wiggling!

SabsBigPants · 27/04/2009 16:40

like mrsdisorganised" mines bubba* too...the whole family calls it bubba now!

alicecrail · 27/04/2009 16:42

Effielou ours was squiggle too and when she was born she was Doodle for months (we had named her!)

Juwesm · 27/04/2009 16:43

For a while Skeletor, after a scary looking ultrasound!!

[dreadful Mummy emoticon]

Then my Mum named the bump Hugo - we were so used to this, it is now ds's name!

booyhoo · 27/04/2009 16:44

ds named ours bing, dont know where he got it from but it has stuck

LastOrders · 27/04/2009 16:47

My DS was refered to as Bugsy.

I painted Bugsy in massive letters on his wall before I wallpapered over it.

A reminder for my mum (whose house I was living at when pg) everytime she decorates!

worriedamy · 27/04/2009 16:50

Ours is apple pip! Although the baby is a lot bigger than an apple pip now- that was how big he was when we found out I was pregnant!

Trikken · 27/04/2009 17:03

ds was Littlen, this one is Titch

DTDs were Bub and Bob

hackneybird · 27/04/2009 17:15

'the baby' - highly unimaginative I know.

SabsBigPants · 27/04/2009 17:19
