Hello Little One

Dear Baby Brandon;
Today is September 6th 2010.  I just found out that in a few months you'll be blessing my life in person.  Up till now I've cried more than I've cried in a long time.  I've also been sick to my stomach.  We'll work on that.  You keep telling me what food you don't like and I'll try to find something to keep you satisfied.  For the record, you may have spaghetti oohs for breakfast now...but don't count on it being a regular thing when you are older.  You will be disappointed. 

I am so excited to meet you little one.  Like any mother I harbor some hopes that you will grow up to be very rich so that you can spoil me and your daddy in our old age, but I won't be disappointed if you aren't.  Baby, I won't be one of those momma's who plans your whole life out for you.  I don't care if you are President of the United States or a trashperson, so long as you are happy and you serve God.   I don't care if you make honor roll everytime, or if you pass every class with a C, so long as you do your very best.  I will expect your best in everything you do, but it doesn't have to be perfect. 

You will be my firstborn child.  As the oldest in my family I know that it is a big responsibility and at times you may hate it.  Unfortunately, you are the one your daddy and I will be learning on, please bear with us as we try to raise you right.  I know we'll make mistakes, but we will always love you and try our very best.  As the oldest, I must warn you that you will be the example for the younger ones.  It will get annoying sometimes, but I promise its worth it.  Your younger siblings will love you more than almost anyone else in the world can.  Honey, when ever you feel like you were born in the wrong place in the family, remember God knows you best.  He chose you specifically for us.  He chose you to be the oldest of our children because He knew no one else could do it better. 

I cannot wait to meet you.  I wonder who you will be and what your personality will look like. 

I love you little one
Love
Mommy
