Ugly Betty's Ana Ortiz Loves Being Pregnant


"I've heard lots of horror stories, but I'm actually really, really enjoying this!" says Ortiz.

She and her husband-- Half Life guitarist Noah Lebenzon -- are expecting their first child, a baby girl. Ortiz says they have yet to decide on a name.

"This has been the biggest decision I've ever had to make," Ortiz told Us at the Writer's Guild Awards in NYC on Saturday. "One day, I love a name, the next day, I hate it. There's a short list.
"Everyone in the cast has given me names. America [Ferrera] seems to think America Junior," she jokes. "I'd love to incorporate both my grandmothers. One grandmother is Ramona. And it's kind of one of my favorites."

Besides baby name suggestions, Ugly Betty costar Rebecca Romijn has given Ortiz some pregnancy advice since giving birth to twins Dolly and Charlie with husband Jerry O'Connell in December.

"She's given me all kinds of tips and pointers, especially in terms of how to keep my husband intimate." "She told me to get this pregnancy pillow that you sleep with. She said Jerry tends to call it 'the husband blocker.' So I'm like, 'Is Jerry going to call up my husband now and commiserate with him?'"

Although Ortiz says she avoided serious morning sickness, she has discovered a new craving.

"I've never had much of a sweet tooth, but since I've been pregnant, all I want is cake," Ortiz says. "She's definitely given me a sweet tooth."
