IN NOVEMBER, I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT AND IN DECEMBER, WE FOUND OUT THE BABY WOULD BE A BOY. IN JANUARY, WE DECIDED TO NAME HIM JOHN WESLEY BUTLER IV, OR BETTER KNOWN (BY ME) AS “NICK.”

I’M ONE AND DONE, BUT SUPER EXCITED THAT NICK WILL HAVE A BUILT IN BEST FRIEND - HIS COUSIN - XAVIER “ZAY ZAY”MITCHELL KUZMA. 

WE’LL BE SETTING UP SHOP AT MY PARENTS’ HOUSE— SO I THANK MOM FOR GRACIOUSLY WELCOMING ME, JOHN, (AND HIS DOG), AND DEALING WITH ME DURING MY FIRST TRIMESTER…AND EVEN NOW. 

AND OF COURSE, THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY FOR ALL OF THEIR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND SUPPORT. DAD’S NOT HERE, BUT I KNOW HE’S WATCHING FROM ABOVE.

SO WHAT AM I LOOKING FORWARD TO? A LOT, INCLUDING: 

• HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS (I’VE BEEN DODGY FOR MONTHS, WHICH MEANS THEY’VE PROBABLY BEEN SUSPICIOUS FOR MONTHS) 

• PERFECTING MY REGISTRY AND PLANNING FOR A FUN BABY SHOWER 

• MASTERING HOW TO CHANGE A DIAPER (NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BUT NECESSARY - SIGH) 

• MORE SMALL CHEVAL CHEESEBURGERS, ANTIQUE TACO & CULTURE POPS 

• NEXT MONTH’S MATERNITY LEAVE!
