18 Weeks

Today marks 18 weeks pregnant!!
(McKenna is the size of a dragon fruit)

Like I have said in previous posts, I didn't have a whole lot of morning sickness this time around. I don't know if it's because I knew what to do when it was going to hit or if it's because McKenna was being kind to me.. hahaha I just feel lucky that I didn't feel as sick as I was with McKaila. Even though it isn't any fun dealing with the morning sickness, what comes with it, is all worth it. I would deal with morning sickness over and over again, to recieve these little mircles in my life. 

Now, that any sort of morning sickness is no longer here, I'm hungry ALL the time! And just like when I was pregnant with McKaila, I crave Taco Bell, but I'm not eating that near as much as I did when I was expecting the first time. Along with Taco Bell, I crave french fries. So, a lot of the time, I find myself making trips in the middle of the day to get some french fries. Atleast my new craving is a lot healthier. Salads. 


McKenna has been busy moving around, and I love it! Feeling her move inside me, is by far the best thing about being pregnant. I can feel her doing flips and jab me around my belly button. But, everytime I would put my hand on my belly to feel her, she would stop. Finally, on Saturday, Courtney was able to feel her! I don't know what it was, but when we had gotten home from seeing the Festival of Lights, McKenna was moving around like crazy. I had never felt her so much, which brought tears to my eyes. (not of sadness, but of pure happiness) 

We love you so much already, McKenna Grace!
