welcome mackinley jack!

here is my long awaited post about my baby boy!!! :)



on saturday december 10th at 4:11 pm I welcomed little Mackinley Jack into the world. after being in labor for 16 hours I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy! Mackinley gave me a little scare in the beginning because he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck! I had to quickly push him out and my doctor had to cut the cord from around his neck.  he wasn't breathing so the neonatologist and a team of nurses had to resuscitate him. finally they got him to breathe and I heard the most life changing sound I've ever heard... his first cry :) I was so happy to finally have my baby boy here and healthy! Mackinley weighed 7 lbs and 12 oz, was 21 in. long, and he has a full head of light reddish brown hair. 

the week that i've been a mommy has been amazingly wonderful! i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world! the love that i have for my son is one that i cant describe. it is the best feeling in the world.  Mackinley has been such a wonderful baby. he sleeps between 5 to 7 hours at night before needing a feeding and he doesnt fuss much.  i am such a proud mommy and i cant wait to post more about little Mack! :)
