Hi Maddie,
My name is Tammy. Your mother and I have been best friends for many many years. I have a daughter named Chancy, she will eventually be your baby sitter. We can't wait till you get here. I don't have any little one's, so I hope you will let us get very close to you. I love your mom and dad very very much. I am so glad that they are in our lives and I can't wait to meet you and be able to share many memories with you. I already love you, HURRY!
Love,
Tammy

Hey Maddie, this note is for you. I'm your aunt Jennifer. If anyone knows how much you mean to your mommy and daddy, it's me. They haven't seen a picture of you, yet their hearts are full of love for you. Your a lucky little girl! Our family has so much love to give and not enough little ones to give it to. So hurry up and come home, I'm waiting for my first hug & kiss.
Love, Jennifer
Tammy
Hi Madison. Yesterday was your baby shower. There were so many people there. It was great. Your mom and I had such a great time preparing for the big day. You got so many wonderful gifts. Your mom is going to have a blast putting everything in its special place. Your dad and uncle Darrin prepared the meat for us and it was soooo good. They did an awesome job. It was nice to see your Nenny and aunt Jenny again. They are very special people and I love to visit with them. Probably the next time I see them you will be here. I can't wait. I was hoping so bad that your mom and dad would have received that long awaited call last night but I know it's coming. Well, I can't wait to see you and love you so much!
Love Tammy
Time is passing
Madison,
It is almost June 2007 and time is passing by. We really thought you would already be with us, but that is ok becuase God is just getting us all prepared for you and you for us. He just wants to make everything perfect. We already love you so much and cannot wait to see you and hold you. The whole family and all of our friends are anxious and cannot wait for you to arrive. I am getting more anxious as time passes. My friends and your nenny and Aunt Jennifer are throwing a big baby shower/party to celebrate your upcoming arrival. It is going to be on June 16th. I cannot wait. Your dad and I are so excited. There are still a few things I need to get for your room, but we are waiting until after the baby shower. There is not a day that goes by that someone does not ask about you and when you are coming. I just keep telling them soon. Madison, we love you very very much and cannot wait to hold you and love on you.
Mom and Dad
My Husband - Your Dad
Today is December 12, 2006.
Madison I just wanted to write a quick note to you before I go to bed about your dad, who by the way happens to be my husband. Your dad is the best man you will ever meet. I am sure that when you grow up you will hunt for a husband just like him. You see, I know this becuase I am married to him and he is probably the kindess, most thoughtfull, loving, and respectfull man I have ever met. I cannot imagine not being marred to him. As you can tell I love your dad very much as will you. As you grow up Madison you will see all of these qualities that I am describing and when you are older and read this you will agree with me. I know that you are going to love him as much as I do.Make no mistake, your dad is not perfect, no one is, but your dad places God at the top of his list in everything he does and he has an extaordinary faith in Jesus and these are just a few of the great things I want you to know about him.
I love you,
Mom

I knew you
I’ve known you before I met you.
Your hair and your eyes are brown,
Your smile will light up a room
When you are trying to be Daddy’s little clown.

I’ve known you before I met you
In the mornings that you wake me from my slumber
Your sweet voice I’ll remember
While holding my clock "What’s this number?"

I’ve known you before I met you
Each day I will tell you of God’s blessing to be
And of his blessing
That he has already bestowed on me.

I’ve known you before I met you
Your family will be the joy of you life
We will all do our best
To protect you from life’s pain and strife.

I’ve known you before I met you
My little girl, I’ll always be here when you need to talk
I’m not the best listener, but I’ll try
Because I knew you well before you could walk.
I love you
Dad
Your Mom
Your Mom is the love of my life. At this time we have only been married for 22 years. I know your Mom better than anyone else ever will. You are so blessed to have a mother like her. I could tell you your mother believes people should always "do the right thing". Or that she is very loyal the the people she loves. She always strives to be the best that she can or do everything to the best of her ability. She loves God. I could tell you alot of things about your Mom, but what I really want to tell you is that I pray that you are just like her. But even if you aren't, you will be the love of our life.
Love
Dad
Prayers
Madison I pray for your safety. I know that you are most likely already born or soon will be born and I pray for you and your birth mothers safety. I hope that she takes you somewhere safe and some one very kind and loving will be holding you, loving you, and making sure you are not hungry. I pray for God to watch over you and that you will know in your little heart that we are on our way soon. I pray that you will be ready for all of the love that we have to give and that we will bond quickly and I pray for you health. Madison we love you and cant wait to come and hold you in our arms.
Madison I pray that God will ease your birth mothers pain as she leaves you, and comfort her aching heart. I want her to know that you will be forever ours and loved unconditionally and that you will be raised in a Christian home with Christian values and more love than you know what to do with.
Ephesians 1:5-6 He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will - to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
1Samuel 1:27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I have asked of him.
I love you,
Mom
