Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are gearing up for the arrival of their second child!

Even though the news of The Shallows star's pregnancy only recently broke, it turns out that the couple is already thinking about what they're going to call their little bundle of joy. "Blake is looking forward to having baby number two," a source tells E! News exclusively. "Blake is only in her second trimester, but she already has some baby names in mind."

Blake and Ryan are a famously private couple, so it's no surprise that they're keeping their baby name ideas pretty much to themselves. "She has been talking about it with Ryan and her close friends," the source adds, but notes she's vocal about her desire for more kids.

"She wants at least three children, maybe more."

Although Blake kept moving throughout her first pregnancy with daughter James Reynolds, she's planning on being more active this time around. "She plans on working a little more through this pregnancy," the insider shares. "If Blake isn't acting then she's usually busy working on her own personal projects."

When Blake's pregnancy was revealed, another source told us that she couldn't wait. "They are very excited. Blake always wanted two or three kids," the source said at the time. But her love of kids isn't a secret. The Gossip Girl alum gushed about her passion for family to Marie Claire.

"If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would," Blake told a recent issue of Marie Claire while Reynolds echoed similar sentiments in an interview with Details magazine.

"We'd love to have a big family. We both come from big families—my parents did four, Blake's did five. A lot of people say it's crazy, but we'll only know when we're there, you know?" the Deadpool star dished. "We'll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think."
