Some Thoughts from the Pregnant One
When I was one month away from my due date with Olivia my midwife (bless her heart) told me that I could go any day because I was dilated to a 1 and 80% effaced. As much as I loved her, that was the worst thing she could have ever told me. That was the longest month of my life, and Liv was two days late.
With this baby, however; I have felt so healthy and comfortable for the most part and I would actually be totally OK with this baby coming late. Maybe its because I feel comfortable, or maybe its just because I know that babies are just a heck of a lot easier to take care of on the inside then they are on the outside.
The ironic thing is, I keep having the feeling that this baby is going to come early and that I need to get ready. Every day I stare at my to do list and the items to prepare for the baby to come such as packing, setting up the baby swing and bassinet, washing the new born clothes, and just generally preparing for little boy Brown to come, seem to be evading the glorious check mark at the end of each day.
Have no fear, after finding out that I was dilated to 3 centimeters today, I was motivated to hop to and I have been very productive today! Granted, there are plenty of women who walk around dilated to a 4 for a month, but I was still grateful for some news that got me moving on preparing for this baby to come. We'll see how things turn out hu?
Any words of advice for preparing for labor or the hospital trip? Or just words of advice on caring for a baby boy? Are they much different than baby girls?

Thinking About Trying to Be a Little Better
I just finished reading a great article from this months Ensign titled "The Fuctional Family" by James D. CacARTHUR. The following paragraph really hit home for me, and I want to share it, but mostly I want to post it so I never forget it.
"Children are always watching and observing our behavior, whether we know it or not. In my role as a father, I regularly take stock of my behavior by asking myself, "Can I recommend to my children that they follow my example both publicly and privately" If I answer no, I make corrections where needed".
"Here are some questions I've asked myself:
*Do I want my chidlren to be patient? Yes, so I try to be as patient with them as I can.
*Do I want my children to relax, have fun, and learn to enjoy life? Yes, because I believe these qualities are vital to developming healthy, happy relationships. I try to have fun with my chidlren as often as I can.
*Do I want my chidlren to read the scriptures and wholesome books? Yes, so I make sure they see me reading, and I read them.
*Do I want my chidlren to care about family relationships? Yes, so I kiss and hug them, smile at them, listen to them, play with them, and share personal experiences with them."
I think I fall into a major trap of hypocrasy when it comes to teaching Olivia correct principles. Everyday, everyhour, I'm constantly trying to teach her to be patient. Whether its waiting 30 seconds until I put her food on the table, or waiting for me to take her outside. Yet when were running late for church and she wants to play with her toys a little bit longer and I want her to get dressed, well, lets just say I'm not always exemplifying the quality of patience that I try to teach her on a day to day basis. I realize how important our examples are, and this talk was a reminder to remember that the things I want my chidlren to emulate, love, and cherish, I too mush emulate, love, and cherish.
