Some Wise Preggo Advice

I was just talking to my friend, Cami (who is having her baby in less than a month! Woohoo!), and she gave some really good advice about baby names that I want to remember.  Seeing as I am in such an odd chatty/writing mood I'd better write it down now or else I may be retrospectively writing it when I'm 40 and finally getting around to it.

Advice #1  Don't tell the general public what you are naming your child till it is born.  I really liked this advice because I don't want people giving me their opinion on the name I picked out for my baby.  It's my baby, I'm carrying it for 9 months, and if you're not my husband I don't care to hear your commentary on the subject (Calm yourself preggo hormones...okay, now I'm good.).  Also names are bound to change.  Might as well keep it as simple.

Advice #2  Names with meaning.  I have always been on this bandwagon.   Give them a role model to look up to.  My brother was named after a king in the bible and I remember watching him as we grew up.  He was so proud that he was named after "one of the good guys" and it was endearing to see him trying to be like him.  And in a world where there aren't many gentlemen and manly men role models out there, we are going to have to create that for them.  True, you can do that without naming them after someone, but that is one way I choose to do it.

Man I am annoyingly opinionated today.

Also (that's as good as my segues get today),  here is a video to watch about becoming more like Heavenly Father:
