Names for Baby2
Becasue we can't call him/her Baby 2 forever, we are shortlisting some of our favorite names.
Please add some goodies if you can think of any, but here are my requirements:
1. The name must be gender specific
2. When you hear it, you should know how to spell it, and when you see the name, you should know how to say it. And I like original spelling - nothing spelled 'funky' or 'new'. Just give me a good old basic name.
3. The name must be just that - a human name - not a car part, a fruit, or a day of the week. And nothing made up either.
4. I don't want anything too popular (I don't want this little one to go to kindergarted with 6 other people in the class with the same name)
5. It must go with Lanteigne (So Lilly Leila Lanteigne may sound nice, but it is out - she'd have to be a super hero!)
6. And I don't want to use a first name that is already in our immediate family - I can be somewhat original
See, I have a lot of rules, but what else do you expect from me? :)
Ok, so here are our names so far:
Boy Names:
Andy
That's it, so if you can think of more, please let us know!
Girl Names:
Penny
Evelyn (we'd call her Evy)
Monica
Brigette
Natalie (my recent favourite)

14 weeks and moving into my 2nd trimester
I am now (as of yesterday) 14 weeks pregnant and officially in my 2nd trimester (thank God!). So this is usually whern people start showing (ha ha ha) and trling people (which we did loooong ago). This is also considered the "safe" zone.
Here is some info I found on www.babycenter.com about what is probably happening to my baby...
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

Week 12
My baby's urinary tract is on line, and his/her fingernails are growing. A big portion of the amniotic fluid from this point on will be baby urine. Gross, hey?
S/he is looking more and more like a baby and has advanced to the stage that its brain can transmit messages. Vocal chords are complete, and the baby can sometimes cry (silently). The brain is fully formed, and baby-to-be can feel pain; s/he may even suck his thumb! Eyelids now cover his/her eyes, and will remain shut until the seventh month to protect his/her delicate optical nerve fibers.
