Courtney Robertson EXCLUSIVE: The Bachelor vet reveals she has selected baby name

Courtney Robertson has come a long way from her days accepting roses on The Bachelor.

The reality TV vet is now engaged, pregnant, and planning a wedding to Humberto Preciado.

Courtney, 36, spoke with DailyMail.com about selecting baby names, trying on wedding dresses, and who from Bachelor Nation will be attending her upcoming nuptials.

Courtney announced she was expecting her first child with Humberto just a few months ago, and already the couple have decided on a name for their baby boy.  

For now, they are waiting to share the child’s name with the world.

‘Everyone says pick out two names and then wait till you see, so we have the backup name, but I just ordered my first monogrammed thing for his nursery this week. So I was like, “Honey, are we committed?” And he was like, “Yes, let’s just go with that.”

The couple have even begun referring to the child by name.  

‘From the beginning we both have agreed on the same name, we say it with our family members, now we’re referring to the baby as the name.’

On top of preparing for the arrival of her baby boy, Courtney is also planning her wedding.

The couple plan on tying the knot in Sedona, Arizona in October 2020 in what Courtney says will be a ‘big fiesta.’

The site of the wedding is particularly meaningful to Courtney, as it is the same place her parents exchanged vows at 40 years prior. 

With the wedding less than a year away, Courtney has been saddled with a lot of decision making which she believes is ultimately preparing her for motherhood.

‘I think it’s preparing me for parenthood, because I’ve heard that parenthood is like that too. Like little things, we just met with the caterer yesterday and we went over all the fine little details. She’s like, “Are you going to have party favors for the guests?” I haven’t even thought about that!’

Fortunately, her fiance has been by her side every step of the way.

‘He was so cute, he just texted me a picture of, he drafted up the wedding table, and we like talked about seating and he put all these people on a seating chart… He drafted it up, he just texted it to me, I’m like, “Hey that looks great!”‘

One of the decisions that didn’t involve Humberto, however, was her wedding dress.

Since Courtney will be getting married after giving birth, she needed to go shopping right away.

Fortunately, the reality star went shopping just before she really began to show.

‘Luckily I went, so I popped, like really popped, it was just in the nick of time. I really feel like it was the next day,’ she explained.

It’s been eight years since Courtney ended her engagement to Bachelor Ben Flajnik, after controversially accepting his proposal and final rose atop a Swiss mountain.    

Still, that doesn’t mean the former star has completely cut ties with The Bachelor.   

In fact, Courtney has even invited several former castmates to her wedding.

In addition to a producer she worked closely with on the show, fellow castmates Casey Shteamer and Jaclyn Swartz have all gotten Save The Dates.

‘Casey Shteamer was on my season, she was my best friend in the house, and Jaclyn Swartz, we’re really good friends, she was on Bachelor In Paradise and Bachelor Pad. They’ll be there, they’ll be at the wedding,’ Courtney said.

The star, who documented the fallout of her reality career in the New York Times bestselling book I Didn’t Come Here To Make Friends, playfully added: ‘I did make friends!’
