People thought we were moving to Hawaii. Maddy was as tall as me sitting on all the suitcases.

Maddy was really good on the flights. She cried very little. As always we worried and she pulled through like a trooper.

Grandparents

Maddy has had visits from both sets of her Grandparents. She is definitely loved. Mike and Judy (left) just got back from Hawaii and couldn't wait to see the baby. They are old pro's Maddy is their fourth grandchild. Elaine and Neal (right) first time grandparents and loving every minute of it. All the grandparents have been extremely loving and supportive. We really appreciate their help.

Family

Pictures say a thousand words. We are sooo lucky

Arrival

A little earlier than expected, Madeline Diane Brooks arrived this morning at 3:07am PT. She weighed in at 8lbs. 4oz. and is 21" long. Mom, Dad and little Maddy are all just fine...just a little tired!

Here are a few photos compliments of Grandpa Neal...

Sleep

We have a 3d image of Maddy. She is resting quietly in this picture. I wonder how often she will sleep this peacefully when she comes:>) Our guess is sleep ..... is a thing of the past.

Anticipation

We have done all the Belly Comparisons we can do. Ryan is here (belly on the right) and Madeline is on the way (belly on the left). Michele and I can't wait. We pray she is as wonderful, happy, and healthy as the O'Malley's (Ethan, Meghan and Ryan). Unless Maddy decides to come early we should know in about 8 days.
