I heard on TMZ that she lost the weight doing the YRG Workout with Diamond Dallas Page. Either way she looks Great!

Congratulations to Carnie. I like to see stories about women in the early 40′s getting pregnant. I hope it turns out to be successful and that the baby dust can rub off on me. I’m 40 and have been trying for my 2nd baby.

God Love You,Carnie.
Rejoice in this special time with your family. You all must be thrilled!

Oh, and I hope that, if it DOES turn out she’s expecting twins, people won’t be shouting “Fertility treatments!” Carnie has already indicated that this pregnancy wasn’t the result of fertility treatments (by saying that her husband was surprised to learn of the pregnancy and that she took a pregnancy test. From what I’ve heard, when you have fertility treatments, you are scheduled for a blood test to check for pregnancy a few weeks after the treatment, and you are usually asked NOT to take a home pregnancy test).

Also, it sounds like twins run in her family, on her mother’s side (and it is the maternal side of the family that twins run on). That and the fact that she’s 40 (women that age have an increased chance of concieving twins naturally) makes me think that if she IS having twins, she concieved them naturally.

Finally, how do we know that celebs are having twins just because it’s the “in” thing to do? Some celebs (such as Angelina Jolie, who also seems like the absolute last person in Hollywood who would do something just because it’s the “in” thing.) have said that their twins were concieved naturally (while some of them may not be telling the truth, I do believe Angie as she is known for being nothing but open and honest in her interviews).

Several celebs with twins probably HAVE used fertilty treatments (some of them, including Marcia Cross and Geena Davis, have even come right out and said so!). However, if you step back and take a closer look, most of them made it clear before becoming pregnant that they were desperate to have a baby and/or had been trying to get pregnant for a long time.

Also, virtually all of those celeb twins seem to be very loved (i.e., it doesn’t seem like their parents were like “Oh, we had you because it’s the “in” thing to do, but we didn’t really want kids”)!

Amy- ITA! I also want to point out that women DO sometimes name their kids after themselves. It’s just not as common as naming a boy after his father.

Also, if Carnie’s okay with naming a boy after her husband, what’s sexiest about it?

All of that said, I personally am not a fan of “Jr.’s”, mainly because I think it must be confusing for the child (i.e., if both the father and the son are named Fred and you call out “Fred!”, how will they know which one of them you’re referring to).

Both my grandparents and my parents delt with that issue in the way I much prefer: My dad’s middle name is his father’s first name, and my brother’s middle name is my father’s first name.

I think that’s having the best of both world’s, as the child is still named after you in a way, but has his/her own first name, so there’s no confusion!

how is it sexist to name a child after yourself or your spouse? Lucille Ball did it as well as other well known people. It is fairly common imo

I think it will be another girl. I also don’t think you should announce your preference on the gender because if the child finds out, they might feel like they weren’t wanted if they were the gender the parent wasn’t hoping for. Sorry Carnie, I just don’t think it’s right to say you want a boy when you could have a girl too.

congrats to them! I hate that she will be naming the baby after her husband though. I don’t care what anyone says…it’s sexist.

conrats carnie and rob on their 2nd child! lola is gonna be a big sister with the new baby

Congrats to Carnie Wilson and family!
