    Surprise, April 4th, my baby Madeline decided to come 10 weeks early!

    It was a scary five weeks as we drove back and forth between home and the hospital. I was finally on the mend when Marc had to have an emergency appendectomy.

    I was able to document Maddy's progress and get lots of kind words here online:

    As you can see, Maddy's come a LONG way. This is a photo from a couple of days ago.

    I was even able to enjoy the perks of parenthood, costumes and christmas portraits!

    And we all thank you for sharing these GREAT times in your life Tam.

    Your commentary, pictures, and video's gave all of us a feel as if we were there sharing the special/fun moments with you.

    Yes, it has been a pretty good year.

    Merry Christmas to you, Marc, and Maddy (oh and your mom hehe).

    What a year Tam....although it got alittle rough and scary at times it seems to have been the best year ever welcoming a healthy beautiful little girl. What more could you ask for....Hope 2009 is a good year for the 3 of you!

    Hey Tam......
    I know I didn't post in the "Maddy" threads much, if at all. But I want you to know something......
    I'm really happy for you, and proud of you for making through all that. My wife and I love our dogs so much, I can't even begin to imagine what you went through with your new daughter. For that, I take my hat off to you, and you have my respect. I am truly impressed with you. Kudos to a crazy year, and best wishes for 2009. Give Maddy a kiss from the Tubbs family. :D
