Whitney and her mom went to Aunt Lyndsay's in Altoona last Monday to visit. She has a light set and decided to do a 'Ann Geddes' photo shoot since Mckenna is in her 'cute' (not that she wasn't before) newborn stage :)

Makenzie and Kendall loved spending time w/ their new cousin!

My stepmom and dad come to visit us from NJ. It was a great visit, first time they have met Mckenna. They absolutely loved her. My dad couldn't get enough of her. Unfortantly they could only stay for a short time but they loved the time that they got to spend w/ her

First Sponge Bath

5 days oldShe still has her cord so she got a sponge bath. It was fun although she didn't think so. though.

SOOO precious!!!!
Mckenna is SOOOO adorable, I love to sit and stare at her. I hold her all day - newborns can't be spoiled, so why not. She usually eats every 2 hours - sometimes more during the night (cause she'll fall asleep) and occasionally every 3 hours (twice so far). She had newborn jaundice, but resolved by Saturday. She has made her first appearance to Walmart - and enjoyed it of course.
Happy Easter Mckenna
Easter present from Mimi
A new life beginning in this world and one life beginning in heaven. My grandfather, Russell Campbell Younkins passed away on Friday, March 21. He was 85 years old. It was a joy growing up with him and my gram as our neighbors. I have many happy memories. I love you pap!

And then there were three!

Labor was fast but rough. 4 hours total from when they started the pitocin til mckenna was born! My highest BP was 164/118! Craziness. I ended up having mild preeclampsia, so I had to be put on the dreaded Magnesium Sulfate. It made me feel "eh". I didn't get up and feeling good until Wed around 4pm. We went home Thursday. It was great to be home.
