You&#8217;ve got it. World, meet Baby Boothe. I am sure this is only the first of many occasions of Baby Boothe Exploitation for your viewing pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t I promise you some big surprises of 2012??? AND THIS IS ONLY ONE! \ud83d\ude42 (Probably the biggest, but come on, it&#8217;s a good one!)<\/p>\n<p>(Side note: By the way, if you don&#8217;t think this is &#8220;hard at work,&#8221; then you&#8217;ve never been pregnant. It&#8217;s totally been kicking my sorry trash. Teaching a bunch of middle schoolers is less exhausting than being pregnant, so you can imagine the combination of both has been a blast.<strong><em> Oh, and speaking of my middle schoolers, they don&#8217;t know yet, so if you know them DON&#8217;T TELL THEM YET!<\/em><\/strong> I am gonna do it soon. Promise. Awkward aside is now done.)<\/p>\n<p>All right. Let&#8217;s get some of the FAQs out of the way before we progress further with this topic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How old is Baby Boothe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baby Boothe has entered into the fourth month of existence. We are safely into the second trimester (yay!) and so far, everything appears fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you happy about this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jared and I are both ecstatic about this and have wanted it for a while, but things were complicated with some of my other health issues. Knowing this should help us avoid the question &#8220;Was this planned?&#8221; Which I have been asked. A few times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Baby Boothe a boy or a girl?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t know. We probably won&#8217;t know until late February. And we are absolutely finding out, because my anxiety doesn&#8217;t need any big surprises when I am too excited planning for Baby Boothe&#8217;s arrival.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you want a boy or a girl?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When does Baby Boothe make his\/her grand appearance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Expected arrival date is July 6. I&#8217;m seriously hoping Baby Boothe isn&#8217;t on some sort of &#8220;Mormon Standard Time&#8221; system which could prevent him\/her from arriving on time, as I don&#8217;t think this summer will be much fun if last summer was any indication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you showing yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I am, and no, you may not see yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my last post, I have dropped some hints that there were going to be big changes happening in 2012 for me.
