Back to herself again!

Macie is finally back to herself again after being sick. Zack and I both know that she may get sick again but we pray it isn't for a long time. After the scare of having to take Macie to the hospital on Saturday night because some blood test came back positive for bacteria, we decided we don't want to go through that again. Probably the worst thing about being a parent is to see your child in pain. I did not like for a second when they were sticking Macie with needles to draw blood and put an IV in just in case. I couldn't wait to hold and comfort her again. After the test came came "all clear, " Zack and I were so relieved. A million things go through your head when you are waiting to see if something is wrong. Zack said he would give anything to switch places with her and so would I! Thankfully, she is better and woke up smiling today. We have had a lack of sleep since Macie has had trouble sleeping the last four night; however, I am hoping she decides tonight that she wants to go back to sleeping through the night. Zack and I both agreed driving home Saturday night that you can't understand the love a parent has for their child until you have a child of your own. We love Macie so much!!

We have been laying Macie on her belly for some of her naps and she seems to sleep better. All she needs is her thumb and she is out!

Macie loves her duck!

For some reason her headbands tend to fall over her eyes when she is sleeping.

We had a great time hanging out with our friends, Jonas, Kelley, and Tate a week ago. We know that Macie and Tate will be great friends one day, too.
Jillian was at our house a few weekends ago and was the perfect cousin and helper. She got to give Macie her bottle. Jillian has also wanted to hold Macie standing up so she got to do that for just a second as I stood with her. As I was changing Macie's diaper Jillian offered to help and she told me that she "had been doing this for years." She did a great job with the diaper, too. Macie can't wait for her to come back and play again this summer!
Jackson is also a great cousin. The last time he was at our house he rocked Macie to sleep. It was so sweet!
