We had decided to name you Brigham many months ago. Daddy just like the name, and well I had put a lot of thought into the name. Michael is named after Grandpa Kam, Landon is named after the Grandpa Landon, and I wanted you to have a 'strong, meaningful' name too.
So when we started thinking about names.... I couldn't help but think of the Prophet Brigham Young. The Prophet Joseph Smith had been dead for quite awhile, before it was revealed that Brigham Young would be the next prophet. During that time though, I'm sure members were hoping and praying for the next prophet. Just like you sweet son, we have hoped and prayed for you for quite awhile. Once called to be the next prophet Brigham Young (I can imagine at least) had to have had alot of faith that he could take on such a task. Faith in the lord and faith in himself. He had to be courageous. Both characteristics I hope you possess-- faith in yourself and faith in the lord, as well as courage. I know there is quite a gap between you and your siblings-- but just as the people loved Brigham Young-- know that we love you too. We are ecstatic for you to join our family :) Since I pretty much picked your first name, and thankfully daddy like it. Daddy wanted to pick your hawaiian name.
After weeks of him researching, and writing down different ideas. And really thinking about a name that would fit you. He told me this morning he has decided. When he told me what it was, and what it meant-- it just fit perfectly. However, I'm going to keep it a secret from the blogging world,until you are born. :) Your brothers have already practiced saying it, they are sure proud of you.
On a funny note, Sweet Aunty let us borrow her playmat and bouncer. I was beyond grateful. :) When Mike first saw it though he was very concerned because it was 'pink' and he just did NOT think his BROTHER should be placed in a pink bouncer. I assured him it was okay. Later that night I was snuggling with daddy and told him how Mike was so concerned about you being in a pink bouncer. Daddy commented he didn't feel good about it either, and told me to go buy one. He was just as concerned as Michael-- he didn't want his son in a pink bouncer. I laughed out loud, and then reassured daddy it would be JUST fine, and that I would NOT be spending money on a bouncer and that this one would work just fine, regardless of the color. The next morning I woke up and put a soft green blanket over the bouncer... So now when you look at it, all you see is a nice soft green blanket, no pink. lol.. I think they are both a little happier now. Oh boys :). Just watchin' out for you I guess.. lol.. Love my life.
P.S. Grandma Landon might be coming to visit this week. So if you could make your debut, I wouldn't be upset :) and neither would she. Just sayin'-- this would be a great week to meet you Brigg :) Love you lots son!
