OK, sorry to leave that hanging out there...Maddie had a urachal remnant that had to be removed. In laymen's terms, her bladder was still partially connected to her belly button and that's not good. She's doing well now and there shouldn't be any long terms effects, it was just nerve racking having your baby go under general anesthesia! Maddie was a champ, though, she waited so patiently even though she wasn't allowed to eat and she came out of the anesthesia almost imemdiately and had a fairly quick recovery - hooray! :) So, now we can move on and pray that she won't have any other issues.
Here's a picture of sweet little Maddie in her hospital gown that John took with his phone (thus the fuzzy quality).
Ok, so we had a little break from our monthly family adventures after Maddie was born, but now they're back! A couple weeks ago, we took Eli and Maddie to the Aquarium. Eli loved it!! He walked around and could see through the glass and look at all of the fish and turtles and make fish lips. :) However, when asked what his favorite animal was at the aquarium, he growled...yes, he saw a tiger while he was there and that's what fascinated him the most. That and the stingrays that he got to "pet." The aquarium was a great indoor adventure for the winter. 
p.s. Some of you might recognize the little girl and her dad next to Eli in the picture.;-) It's amazing who you run into when you're out and about!
