The McG Family: March 2015

Well I am now officially in my second trimester and boy has this pregnancy been different from the first. I went through a lot of feelings of sickness (thankfully never throwing up), dizziness, and definitely feelings of exhaustion. Now that I'm at the start of fourteen weeks, my energy level has picked up a bit, but not feeling good has come to visit me once again at night time. We had one ultrasound so far at about 8 weeks. Such a miracle and so unbelievable to witness. We will have our next ultrasound in about 5 weeks, on April 20th and that's when we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl.
Lincoln is still keeping us on our toes. He's so fun to be around and so full of energy. We think he'll be talking soon because he's all full of babbles. He also has started to mimic sounds. His words include momma, dada, papa (this is probably one of the sweetest words he says, because he always seems to whisper it), Bu (for Buckley), and that's probably it. He LOVES music and when there's music he LOVES to dance. He like Thomas the Train, Curious George, and a bit of Daniel Tiger. Sesame Street is still a favorite. Big Bird being his all time fav. (Disclaimer: He really doesn't watch a lot of TV, but TV watching kinda increased when I got pregnant) He likes collecting rocks. Oh and he loves being a stinker! And has the biggest cheesy grin you'd ever see.
We had a visit from my parents (Nana and Papa) a week ago. It went by really fast but we so enjoyed having them around. They got to see Lincoln in his element at the library during story time, we traveled to Portland and went to the zoo, the market, Powell Books, and just had fun being together. Lincoln loved hanging out with his Nana and Papa and definitely got spoiled by them!
