Ahh, Roo was my childhood nickname! I loved Roo from Winnie the Pooh! I used to jump up and down going "Roo Roo Roo Roo!"

I was jokingly calling him/her "the zygote" for a while, as in "the zygote and I are STARVING." My husband works in medicine and he can be such an anatomy geek, so we thought this was hilarious.

Then he pointed out that now it's really a fetus, but I didn't like calling my baby "the fetus" because it sounded creepy, plus let's face it, "zygote" is a much funnier word than "fetus."

Lately I've been catching myself calling it "the kid" but more and more also by the boy name that's our current #1 pick. Somehow with each passing day, referring to the baby as him or by the boy name feels increasingly right.

Jöran for the first name (=George in Swedish-- my mother's family is of Swedish descent and his paternal grandmother was 1st generation Swedish) and either Sebastien or Raphael for a middle name.

DH called ds 'the lil fella' while he was in utero. We didn't really know he was a boy at that point though. We haven't called this one anything so far, but I'm sure something will sound right sooner or later.
