Mrs. Gay Shows Off Her Baby Bump

Lukas VanProosdy, Reporter

Sahuaro art teacher Mrs. Gay is pregnant with a boy and is due to have him on March 30th 2017. She already has two boys: Aristeyo, 6 is the oldest and his younger brother, Adagio, is 2 years old, and they are very excited to have another brother on the way. Mrs. Gay said, “At first I wanted a girl, but it’s still going to be a person”, meaning she’s happy to have a healthy child and the sex isn’t that important.

She has discussed her maternity leave with Principal Estrella and the plan is that she will be gone starting spring break 2017 and she will be off through fourth quarter.  Depending on how things go, she may be back by second or third quarter of the 2017-2018 school year. Mrs. Gay said this is probably going to be her last child because she “doesn’t want to take a risk of having four boys.”

Aristeyo,  which came from the Greek philosopher’s name Aristotle, is very independent and helps take care of his little brother. Once the baby is born Aristeyo and Adagio, which is a musical term meaning “in slow tempo”  will be sharing a room and sleeping in a bunk bed together. Mrs. Gay and her whole family are excited and getting things ready for the new edition to their family.  Aristeyo and Adagio are definitely unique, uncommon names – so one might wonder what name her and her husband will be coming up with next.  She’s keeping the baby’s name a secret until he’s born, so looks like we will have to wait until the end of March to find out what this new Cougar’s name will be.
