Tia Booth and Taylor Mock are joining us exclusively at BachelorNation.com for their first joint interview as parents-to-be!

The couple announced they are expecting their first child together last month after announcing their engagement in April.

Now, they are sitting down to discuss all things pregnancy, parenting, wedding planning, and more.

Check out their full interview below!

Bachelor Nation: First and foremost, congrats on your baby boy! We couldn’t be happier for you two. What has been the most surprising part of pregnancy so far?

Tia Booth: Thank you so much! And oh gosh, there have been so many surprising things just because I’m pregnant. Like a UTI and chest pain and all this other stuff. It’s not just the normal nausea, but all these weird things like your hair growing faster and whatnot just because you’re pregnant. Oh, and I can’t remember anything. I knew I was going to be emotional, but I legit can’t remember anything, so that’s been interesting!

Taylor Mock: Yes, and the insomnia. We recently just experienced Tia’s insomnia and she wasn’t sleeping. I didn’t know that was a thing!

TB: He’s right! I thought that wasn’t supposed to be until later in the pregnancy, but I’m not sleeping already.

BN: You announced yesterday that you’re having a baby boy — so exciting! Did you have a feeling about the gender before finding out?

TB: Weirdly, we knew the whole time. I’ve just had this feeling. We would have been absolutely shocked if it had been a girl. Right away, we just started calling the baby “he,” and I don’t know if that had anything to do with me losing my dad less than two months prior, but it was just this feeling that both of us had. I feel like my dad sent this baby to us and gave us his first grandson.

BN: What a special way to be able to honor your dad through your son. Do you have any plans to name him after your dad?

TB: Yeah, we’re thinking about it. That was the plan the whole time, to use my dad’s middle name Wayne as the baby’s middle name. But then I talked to my mom about it and she told us not to feel obligated to use his name because it was so unique to him — Kenny Wayne Booth. She said I can always tell my son about him and how special he was without honoring him with his name, but we still plan to incorporate it somehow. We will honor him in a way that makes sense for us and it will still be special to tell our son he was named after my dad.

BN: Yes, that is so special and an incredible way to honor your dad. Are there any milestones you’re looking forward to once your son is born?

TB: So this is a big milestone to happen within the first year, but we are really hoping he can walk. We are getting married next fall and I’m due around Christmas. So hopefully by then, the baby will be able to walk because I think it would be so sweet to have the baby walk me down the aisle. If he can’t walk yet, either Taylor or I will carry him, but how sweet would that be if we could walk down the aisle holding hands?!

TM: It would be really special to have our son walk Tia down the aisle since her dad won’t be able to be there.

TB: It’s cool to think about my dad and this baby crossing paths at some point in the universe. And this baby is going to be here to help us through the grief. So we’re going to be those parents trying to get the baby to walk! Like, all right buddy, let’s go! But I’m also so excited for the newborn phase too. There’s nothing better than a sweet, sleeping newborn. They smell so good!

TM: Yes, the newborn phase is the best! We’re really close with Jen Saviano and her boyfriend Landon. Landon used to be my roommate, so we’re really close with them and went to lunch with them and their son Wilder recently. So we’re getting our baby fix in!

BN: Love that. They’re the next generation of Bachelor Nation babies! And with you both living in Nashville, they may be close enough in age to be in the same grade at school. How fun!

TM: Funny story, the day after we got engaged, Jen’s boyfriend Landon texted me and he was like, “Hey, you might as well just get to it! That way we can have Wilder in the same grade as your baby!” Next thing we knew, we found out we were pregnant. He had no idea, but now actually, they could be in the same grade.

BN: That’s amazing! Can’t wait to watch those two grow up together. Sounds like BFFs in the making. How would you say finding out you are becoming parents changed you?

TM: I’d say the first thing we did was work on any hiccups in our relationship. We immediately tried to work through everything so we could prepare to be the best partners for each other and the best parents we can be for our boy when he comes.

TB: Yeah, you just realize what’s important and what’s not really quick. Like any petty drama or arguments just don’t matter at the end of the day. So we have just focused on how we want to raise our kid. Part of me initially panicked when I found out I was pregnant, but then I was like, “Girl, you’re 30 years old, you’re fine. You're grown, you can do this.” It’s still, though, nobody knows what they’re doing ever, no matter how old you are.

BN: Yeah, I feel like no one is ever completely ready. You learn on the fly as you go! What does being a parent mean to each of you?

TB: As parents, you always just want your kid to have more than you did and do more than you did. And as you take care of this little human, you hope he is just your best friend and the best person possible. To be completely honest, it’s a little scary, though, too. I've talked to my therapist about being nervous about trying to raise a child perfectly and how things can still happen and go wrong. That part is really scary. So hopefully we can use what we learned in therapy and use what we know from our childhood to just give our kid an even better life than we’ve had. I mean gosh, just thinking about our kid going to college one day makes me nervous! He’s going to have to just be homeschooled and stay with us forever! (laughs)

BN: Thankfully you have some time to prepare before he heads off to college! Is there anything in particular you hope to teach him and instill in him as a person?

TB: Humility. That’s something we talk a lot about. There’s such a fine line with being able to give your kid whatever they want and not just giving your kid whatever they want. We just want him to be a good person and kid. He doesn’t necessarily have to be the smartest or most athletic or most anything. We just want him to be known as a good person. Taylor also wants him to be in the NBA, but that’ll come second. We just want him to be a kind, loving human.

BN: A kind, loving human who’s also really good at basketball.

TM: Exactly, yeah. I also think back to whatever group of friends you were in in grade school or high school and hope he can be a good role model in every group and be super inclusive of everyone. We all remember those significant times when you included someone who might have been an outcast. I feel like that’s so important to instill that kind of inclusivity.

BN: Absolutely. Those are amazing moments to witness your child doing as a parent. As for wedding planning, do you have any updates?

TB: Taylor just got stressed about wedding planning and saving, and I was like, “You’re stressed, I’ve been stressed!” We did just book a venue this week, though, so that was the first major thing to mark off our list. We already have a planner and photographers, so those are two other big ones. Just signing contracts and sending the money in, which is a doozy. Now that we have the venue, we can start to focus on smaller things like the floor plan, layout, figuring out if we want a DJ or band, and all that other stuff. The plan is to try to have most of it planned before the baby comes so then when the baby is here we can focus on just the baby for a while until closer to the wedding date.

BN: Love that! Tia, have you thought at all about what kind of dress you want to wear?

TB: Yes! I’ve actually gotten some really amazing emails from wedding gown designers about wanting to work together to design a dress, which is incredible. I can’t really try anything on right now because it won’t fit the same, but I would love a long-sleeve fitted dress. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to get married in the fall because I didn’t want to be hot in a long-sleeve gown. I just think long sleeves look so elegant and nice. Maybe even a high neck long-sleeve combo. We’ll see!

TM: And for me, I’ll probably just wear a black tux and keep it simple. I’m really excited for what we want to wear to the reception, though. I already have that planned out! I really like Jordans, so we’ll probably get a matching pair to wear to the reception. I mean, maybe we’ll even have three pairs so our son can match with us in a tiny pair. That would be so cute!
