“I have always said I have had the most ‘boring’ pregnancy,” Mackenzie (Whelan) Heyerhoff said with a smile. “No nausea, no morning sickness, no pain until the last two weeks or so of my pregnancy.”
Mackenzie and her husband Nathan, welcomed their first child Cal Reid Heyerhoff, on Tuesday, February 25, just weeks before the world halted as the COVID-19 pandemic closed down entire cities and countries.
“He was born just before social distancing guidelines started,” said Mackenzie, noting that the first guidelines were officially set about two weeks after little Cal was born.
