- parasite/paris and copypod in the early days,
- chilli in the 2nd trimester (so named because we were sick of people asking us about names when we had said from the start that we weren't going to be naming until it was born, and we were walking past a chilli plant in the garden so we said that's what we were calling it just to p*ss every one off),
- then once we found out it was a he, he became little bloke, squidgy, and kicky little bugger who won't let mummy sleep,
- and finally, at the moment of escape, he was called 'holy sh*t it's a baby'. Lucky it wasn't like the old days where they had a priest on hand ready to baptise them. After three days of calling him 'hey you' we named him Euan. He still gets 'hey you' though.
Caitlyn was lentil - she was bean shaped. I still have difficulty eating lentils
Oscar was alfie - short for alfalfa sprout because he was a little sprout
This one is edna - extra-special DNA due to the conception being without assistance this time
Sarah was bubbles, until the 20 week scan, from then on we called her by her name
Emma was Peanut, also until the 20 week scan
our 3rd will probably be squirt, and I am not going to say why other than, think moment of conception
We call ours Spikkel. It's afrikaans for speck, because when we went for your first u/s I thought I was about 6 weeks, so we were expecting a little thing that looked like a jellybean ... well I was only like 4 weeks and all that was on the screen was this little speck!! Hence Spikkel was named Not going to change till the 15th of August when we find out the sex and then it will become an array of names till we find the right one. But I would probably continue to call him/her Spikkel till he/she is 21
Noah was Lima Bean. This one doesn't have a nickname, yet. I need to see it on ultrasound again and that won't be until 20 weeks and then I am sure it will be called Luella Mae from there. Maybe I should call it Canuck since I found out I was preg over here. Hmmmmmm off to the drawing board!!!
