Baby Reveal Ideas
It all started back in February when we found out what was in the "secret box" that was delivered to The Andie Summers Show. This was my creative way of telling them! I actually got Razz on the Radio in on it to make it seem like it was from him!
Here's the moment we opened the secret box.

Gender Reveal For A Baby Girl
I got the help of a local school to help me out with the big gender reveal to the morning show (and the world in fact). Check out our Classroom Cover of "Lady" by Brett Young and the surprise for Andie, Donnie, and Shannon who were SO excited.
Thank you Sandy Run Middle School for having us for this fun afternoon.
How To Tell Your Husband You're Pregnant
I have to give some serious credit to Emily, my amazing and beautiful wife, for capturing the moment she told me that she was pregnant. The emotions were running high as you imagine.
Time To Get Serious About The Birth
Emily went into the hospital the evening of Tuesday, August 8th to be induced since she was due all the way back on August 4th and they didn't want her going past 41 weeks.
We arrived but little did we know that we wouldn't meet McKinley Hope for another 30 or so hours. Emily had some complications but ultimately, she absolutely crushed it. I am and will always be in shock and awe as to what she did for this family. Never had more respect for every mother on earth since August 10th, truly amazing superheroes, all of them.
Let's see some pictures of the amazing girl!

All Smiles

This was Emily's first photo as a mom. Man she did an amazing job bringing this baby into the world. I know she will do even better raising her.
Just Born

This is Jeff's favorite photo. Mere minutes after being born, Jeff snapped this picture of his beautiful baby girl. Which one is your favorite picture?
The Stats

McKinley Hope was born on August 10th at 3:56am. She was 20" long and 7lbs 7oz. Happy and healthy baby girl, just like we wanted.
Grandparents

Kat Kat and Pop Pop (Jeff's parents) holding their third grandchild. They welcomed another granddaughter, Emma, earlier this year from Jeff's sister
Bath Time

McKinley's first bath was a success, kind of. She didn't love at first the full bath but having her head on the water, man she loved that.
Who's Hungry?

Feedings are the best because this little girl loves to eat (just like her daddy). We are doing a combo of both breast feeding and bottle feeding so Jeff can get involved in the feeding as well.
Recovering

Emily had a difficult labor but that didn't stop the bonding. Such a trooper taking care of this girl in the hospital while recovering herself.
Naps

Jeff's mom, known as Kat Kat, holds a sleeping McKinley girl. She is also wearing Emily's favorite outfit!
Going Home

Emily is pushing McKinley out of the hospital. Almost five whole days in the hospital and we finally got to go home, so happy!
In The Car Seat

We caught McKinley not too pleased with her binky's position. This was on our way home from her very first doctor's appointment, all good reports so we are happy.
Swaddled? Kinda

McKinley Hope prefers to have her arms NOT part of the swaddle. She likes having a little more flexibility.
New Parents

Jeff and Emily cuddling on the couch with their sweet baby girl. McKinley loves making eye contact with her parents, even though this photo doesn't prove it
Nap Team

Jeff snaps a selfie catching the girls sleeping. Both Emily and McKinley are asleep in the same position. Like mother like daughter!
So Cute

Jeff holds his daughter, McKinley, on their couch at their home. Contact naps are the best!! Love this girl
Brother and Sister

We were so excited for Pirate, our 12-year-old pup, to meet McKinley, our days old daughter. He has been so good with her, always looking out for her.
Grandparents Again

Emily's parents came out all the way from Vegas (of course) to be part of this very important time. They took care of Pirate, the house, the pool, the meals, everything. Huge thanks to them!
