’11 days left in 2020… the year wasn’t all bad. (Pics from almost a full 9 months and a week before Liberty arrived),’ McCain said.
The first snap showed McCain in a black top with black pants and a blue denim long-sleeved shirt opened with the sleeves rolled up.
She had her blonde hair tied back in a bun with a number of bracelets on both arms when she took the snaps.

‘Motherhood is euphoria. All of the cliches have come true and exceeded well beyond my wildest expectations ~ it is hands down the best thing I have ever done in my entire life and I am completely in awe of our daughter,’ McCain began.
‘Having Liberty is like observing my entire heart live and exist outside of my body. She is a little wildcat ~ beautiful, strong, alert, already so full life and spirit… I only wish I had done this sooner,’ she added.
She went on to thank her husband Ben for, ‘giving me this gift and taking the leap on this wonderful and petrifying adventure together.’

She also said having her child was the first time since her father, Senator John McCain, passed away in August 2018, ‘that the part of my heart that broke off and left with him no longer feels missing….’
McCain also thanked everyone who respected her, ‘protectiveness, boundaries and privacy during pregnancy and now first steps into motherhood.’
‘I know it is unorthodox given the public life I have chosen. It’s all a work in progress and I will continue to share what I can as I (and Ben) are comfortable. And thank you for all the incredible words, blessing and kindness that have been extended to all of us, I am beyond grateful and humbled,’ McCain concluded.
