For those of you not finding out, what do you call Chat Icon when referring to "it"? I sometimes catch myself saying "he" or "him". Of course, that leads everyone to say, OMG, do you know! Chat Icon

What do you refer to the baby as?

Re: Team Green

If we don't say the baby/Sola/Uno (our other nick names) then it's he or she.

Re: Team Green

When talking, I usually call the baby "It", I think it's just a habit, I don't mean to speak of the baby as not a baby. Someone ridiculed me once for saying 'it' and it made me feel like I was a horrible person. But I can't help it.

I have been caught calling the baby her or him as well...just whatever comes out.

Re: Team Green

In the beginning I would always say, "she." Now I have been finding myself say, "he!"

Re: Team Green

before we found out the gender, I referred to Crouton as 'crouton' as much as possible... tried to avoid pesky pronouns...

Mom would call crouton 'she' since she claimed all babies are 'she' until a gender is determined Chat Icon at least in her world, that is Chat Icon

Since the beginning I've had it in my head that it's a Chat Icon so I do find myself at times referring to the baby as he/him. More often than not though I just say "the baby". Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Team Green

before i knew what he was, i always referred to the baby as "he" or "him" - i never really thought i was having a boy, (i am obviously lacking in instinct Chat Icon ) but it was just easier that way.
