Mckinley's 1 Week Pictures

A huge thanks to my friend Ashli who took pictures of Mckinley when she was a week and a day old. I got them back today and had a really hard time picking just a few to post. They are so cute. We love them!!!






She put her hands like this totally on her own. So cute!





Again, we did not help her pose for this picture.




Ahhh, the joys of week one. I had it really easy the first week after I delivered. It has gotten a little harder since then... This little girl just decided she doesn't like to sleep in her bed. And she's not quiet about it! I also have a few breast feeding woes which we won't get into here, and some crazy back muscle spasms in the middle of the night that have me crying like a baby.
Here's to hoping we can reverse things back to the easy life again.

Sorry to hear things have gotten a little harder. Good thing she's sooo stinkin cute! You'll have to teach me how to make those fancy bows you made for her. I'm terrible at that stuff. Mine never turn out like that.
BTW- I think breastfeading is worse than the actual delivery, but just like the preganancy I'm not a big fan of breastfeeding either. I give it my best shot, but when I get to the point that I feel like my babies are starving I have no guilt switching to formula and I can "bond" with them while they're looking at my face instead of my boob. Good luck. It can be a very stressful thing if they aren't catching on to the whole breastfeeding thing.

Those turned out so precious. I just love her! I hope things go back to being easy for you. Life is hard enough with a new little one let alone having the troubles you mentioned.

SHe is so cute! I love the pic of you kissing her and the one of you and Brandon holding her. TLC. We are excited to see Mckinley at the reunion and you both!

I am sorry the 2nd week is getting harder. I have a breastfeeding book if you need help. Seriously, it helped me. I'll bring it by tomorrow (Friday). Also, try sleeping her in her carseat right next to you. We had to do that with Cecily so we could sleep comfortably in our bed. Swaddling is the key too.

Sorry to blog stalk, but your daughter is a doll! Also, I was wondering where you get your bows? The flower ones are all so cute and lay so flat. I would love to know!
