We just found out that we are going to have a little one

August 12th, 2010 Journal entry:
I am truly excited that we are going to have a little one. I imagine holding our baby and I wonder what color of hair it will have, no doubt curly.
Little one,
I am so excited for you to come. I am nervous though, I have never done this before so please be patient with me. I pray that I will be a good mommy to you.
Now, you will be the oldest in out Brownie Batch so please be prepared to set a good example.
Little, you have given my life purpose. I know you are now with your Heavenly Father and Mother, they are preparing you and loving you. I know you are with your Great-Grandpa and Grandma Bingham and Great-Grandpa and Grandma Howard. You are with Great-Grandpa Sheldon and Great Uncle Steve, Whom I hear are a lot like your daddy. I guess you'll find that out when you get here. I know you are with your Grandpa Barry, He loves you I know, I feel it. How lucky you are. I imagine these people preparing you, strengthening you, loving you, and letting you know that they will not be far.
I wonder what you look like, little one. I have no doubt that you are going to be someone special. How can you not be, Matthew Sheldon Brown is your daddy.

I can't wait to see you
Mommy

Little One,
I am still thinking of you and I am trying to become better for your arrival. How far away that seems to me. I am estimating but I am going to guess that you will be here between the end of March to the beginning of April. I don't even know exactly when, I just know that you are coming.
In sacrament today I watched all the other little ones more closely thinking of you. What will you be like? I imagined if you are a little girl putting flowers in your hair. If you are a little boy I imagined running around and helping you learn to catch.
We have a little Doggy Dakota, he is a gentile thing and you will love him.
I love you and I know daddy does too.
Mommy
