My sweet redhead

My sweet little redhead is sure something you can call a miracle. She is 18 months old and I am telling you now she is smarter then she lets on. 

If you would have asked me about two years ago I would have laughed at you when telling me I was going to have a redhead. Her name is Makaylee and what a girl she already is. I have honestly never been one to push her to do things. She has proven to us time and time again that pushing her only makes it to where things will take longer. This sweet girl is for sure just like her momma. The open spoken and sarcastic is already coming through with all her gibbering. 

My husband and I had only been dating a little over three month when I got pregnant. But once again all pregnancy test decided to say negative and I even had a trans vaginal ultrasound with this one and she decided that hiding was way better then being seen. So after feeling sick for three months we decided to take a home pregnancy test which came back positive. When it came to the doctors appointment I sure had the poor doctor stumped on how we missed her and why all the test weren't showing anything till now. 

After going into early labor with her and finding out I had Gestational diabetes with her they decided to induce me at 39 weeks. That didn't work so they sent me home to wait. Well just a few days later my water broke in the early morning and lone behold the next morning we were holding our princess. and that began the long journey with my sweet redhead. At 2 months old she got a viral infection and was in and out of the doctors office until we moved to Idaho and we ended up in the ER with her at the age of 6 months old. I will never forget the ER doctor telling me that they would have to do a spinal tap to make sure she didn't have meningitis. 

The one thing I will have to admit about that night is that was the night that God truly showed us that he was there and was going to prove to us that he would never leave us. I was sitting in a quiet room as Daddy and Makaylee were in with the doctor having the spinal tap done and that is when I decided to pray to the Lord and let him know we needed him and at that moment the hubby was doing the same and telling the Lord that since he gave us Makaylee it was OK if it was his time to take her back. and as I was praying (I was the only one in the room ) I felt a hand on my back almost like telling me I am here and its OK to cry. I will never ever forget the fact that peace came over me and I was OK with whatever was thrown at us. 

Lets just say we are so very happy that God has been with us through everything. Because almost one year later we were back in the hospital with one very sick baby and this time it was RSV. That sure was one week I thought I was going to die due to lack of sleep. One thing we most certainly have learned is that Redheads handle pain so differently. and the stubbornness is...... O my no words to explain that one. I am so thankful everyday that God blessed me with my sweet husband and the happy little girl.
