				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/56sz6q7q.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>That&#8217;s right, y&#8217;all! <strong>Josh and Anna Duggar </strong>are making room for a baby boy this June!</p>
<p>The proud parents &#8212; who announced they were <a href="http://blog.thebump.com/2013/03/11/duggars-expecting-baby/" target="_blank">expecting their third child</a> in March &#8212; decided to find out baby&#8217;s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20687009,00.html" target="_blank">sex</a> (and brought the whole Duggar gang along, too!). The baby-to-be excitement even spread to the family&#8217;s camera crew &#8212; the big reveal will also be televised on their hit series, <em>19 Kids &amp; Counting</em>, on TLC!</p>
<p>The family of four, who already have children Mackynzie, 3, and Michael, 21 months, &#8220;didn&#8217;t know the results,&#8221; daddy Josh said. &#8220;We gave them to the sound guy, Jim, and he planned out this very unique reveal. It caught us off guard in a time and place we least expected.&#8221; <em>Gah</em>! Looks like we&#8217;re going to have to tune in to the show to see just <em>how</em> Jim the sound guy let the news out!</p>
<p>So how are mama and daddy Duggar prepping for their third baby? Josh admits, &#8220;The most seasoned parents will confess their inadequacy. Each child is so unique and so different. It is just amazing!&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite some of the public scrutiny for the size of the Duggar gang, the parents keep a cool head about it all, admitting that they&#8217;re open to having as many children that God gives them &#8212; a motto that Josh&#8217;s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, who plan on welcoming baby <a href="http://blog.thebump.com/2013/03/26/duggars-considering-adoption-baby-20/" target="_blank">number 20</a> one day, also ascribe to.</p>
<p>Thinking ahead to the future, Anna says, &#8220;I am so thankful for our children. It is not about having a bunch of babies. It is about enjoying each child God has given you and focus on every day that you get with your children.&#8221; Spoken like a true mama!</p>
<p><em>Congratulations to the whole Duggar family on the impending arrival of Baby Boy Duggar! We can&#8217;t wait to see just how they found out the news!</em></p>
<p><strong><em></em>Did you plan a special reveal for baby&#8217;s sex? How?</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/baby-trends.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>What&#8217;s going to be big for moms-to-be and new parents this year? This is what we predict:</p>
<p><b>Less-Than-12-Week Spill</b></p>
<p>Kate Middleton and Jessica Simpson announced their pregnancies earlier than the traditional 12 weeks. Why not everyone else? A poll of The Bump readers found that 58 percent of pregnant women let the cat out of the bag in the first trimester. Blame it on the trend of over-sharing on social media, or maybe just the fact that women reason that they&#8217;d want their friends and family to know the truth even if something  bad happened. So they&#8217;re telling early!</p>
<p><b>Neon in the Nursery</b></p>
<p>Want a bold look to baby&#8217;s nursery? We&#8217;ve seen neon colors on everything from wall art to diaper bags to strollers. Neon has stepped off the runway and on to baby gear!</p>
<p><b>Baby Name Trends</b></p>
<p>Celebs have been naming their babies after hues of the rainbow for years, but with emerald being the Pantone color of the year, our bet’s on <a href="http://pregnant.thebump.com/baby-names.aspx">naming babies</a> after shades of green &#8212; think Hunter, Kelly, Jade, Fern and Forest. After all, Drew Barrymore did name her baby girl Olive in 2012.</p>
<p>What’s <em>out</em> in 2013? Naming your baby after a city, like Brooklyn, Paris or Austin. This year, moms will take a cue from Reese Witherspoon, who last year named her baby boy Tennessee, and try Georgia, Virginia, Carolina or even Montana.</p>
<p>Also on the rise this year are popular names from the beginning of the 20th century. Due to the <i>Downton Abbey</i> craze, more babies will be sporting names like Mary, Edith, Anna, Robert and Thomas.</p>
<p><b>Royal Baby Fever</b></p>
<p>Just as wedding dress designers&#8217; collections were inspired by Kate Middleton&#8217;s wedding gown gown after her wedding day, we’ll see <a href="http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/maternity-fashion.aspx">maternity clothing</a> designers incorporating her maternity style into their designs. And moms-to-be will be emulating her pregnancy look! Also, expect to see lots of royalty-inspired baby gear and décor in stores. Everyone will want to copy the next prince or princess&#8217;s style, too!</p>
<p><b>New Ideas for Gender Reveals</b></p>
<p>The trend of announcing your baby’s gender has gone beyond cutting a cake to discover pink or blue filling. Once couple made a &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; themed dance video, and others have sent family members boxes filled with pink or blue helium balloons.</p>
<p>Another hot trend is the &#8220;<a href="http://blog.thebump.com/2013/01/04/sonogram-parties-should-you-have-one/">ultrasound party</a>,&#8221; where an ultrasound technician comes to your home during a party to show your close family and friends baby&#8217;s gender live and in person!</p>
<p><b>Mommymoons</b></p>
<p>You’ve heard of a <a href="http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/second-trimester/articles/best-babymoon-destinations.aspx">babymoon</a> (and maybe even a <a href="http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/baby-showers/qa/man-showers.aspx">daddymoon</a>), but now mommymoons are becoming increasingly popular. Don&#8217;t know what that means exactly? It&#8217;s when an expectant mom takes a trip or plans a party for a little R&amp;R before the baby arrives &#8212; <em>without</em> her partner. We&#8217;ve heard of a beach getaway with fellow expecting mamas, heading to a spa resort or hosting an at-home mani-pedi party and prenatal yoga class with friends. It&#8217;s a great way to enjoy some “me” time before middle-of-the-night feedings and diaper changes become routine.</p>
<p><b>Sip and Sees</b><b></b></p>
<p>2013 will be the year of the “sip and see”: a postbirth bash hosted by the parents where friends and family stop by the house, sip some drinks and see the newborn. <a href="http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/baby-showers.aspx">Baby showers</a> for second and third babies can be controversial, but with a sip and see, parents can easily celebrate the birth of their new arrival in a new, different, more casual way.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/kristin-cavallari_652.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>Oops! Looks like Kristin Cavallari’s fiancé Jay Cutler might want to tell his Chicago Bears teammates to keep their mouths shut. According to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://celebritybabies.people.com/2012/05/02/jay-cutler-kristin-cavallari-having-a-baby-boy/"><em>PEOPLE</em></a>, the couple didn’t want to share their baby-to-be’s gender. But Jay’s Bears teammate, Earl Bennett spilled the beans on the Boers &amp; Bernstein sports radio show in Chicago. He told the radio hosts, “He’s having a boy. I am excited for Jay. It’s a great time.” Doesn’t seem like a big deal to some, but most of us have specific ideas of how and when we want to share baby news.</p>
<p>It’s probably really common for this to happen now &#8212; especially with Facebook and Twitter. We’ve heard of friends of expecting mamas congratulating them on Facebook before they wanted all their online friends to know they were pregnant. Or what about future grandmas calling everyone in their address books, while the news was still supposed to be a secret? The list goes on and on.</p>
<p><strong>Did someone else spill the beans on your pregnancy or on your baby’s gender? What did you do?</strong></p>
