Always Prepared

There are many things that I love about my husband but two of the things that make the top of the list are his sense of humor and the fact that he really thinks things through which in turn always makes him very prepared for anything he does. He is an Eagle Scout and the Boy Scout motto is to "Be Prepared" so as an Eagle Scout he of course goes above and beyond this motto.

This brings us to getting ready for the birth of our son. Rich is beyond excited and of course has been an amazing support throughout the pregnancy. We had our second childbirth class this weekend which we have both found very informative. I have been doing a lot of reading about giving birth and talking with Rich about it all but it has been great for both of us to go through the classes together which then gets us talking about even more things related to the upcoming birth. After class yesterday we stopped to run a few errands and Rich told me he needed a clipboard. I figured it was for work so we picked one up. Later that day he showed me why he needed the clipboard...

He says that he is now ready to time the contractions and keep track of them! He is working on typing up a "checklist" of the different stages of labor and what to do during each stage. He actually said that he may give it to our instructor because he thinks many people (especially the guys) would benefit from this :). I love my Eagle Scout and feel so blessed to be married to him.
