Congratulations! Be prepared for the ride of your life. First, one of the best books out there is Natural Childbirth: the Bradley Way by Susan McCutcheon. I read EVERYTHING I could get my hands on the first time around and still felt as though I didn't have enough info. I found this book my second pregnancy and felt as though I had found the light. Lots of good stuff on nutrition, nursing, physical and emotional aspects of labor. Be warned that there are lots of pictures of labor with no clothing. So, if you are squeamish about that, sorry. I had an OB nurse tell me she got more in depth info from that than from her training.
Names are fun and oh so personal. Just find something that resonates with you and "daddy". Your little boy will fit into whatever name you pick. Although, you might want to steer clear of fruit names.......
