“Two girls!” Mackenzie gushed. “I’m so excited.”
“And you’re the best girl dad, even though I know you wanted a boy,” she told Khesanio.
“I’m just happy,” he responded.
ROUGH PREGNANCY
As a type 1 diabetic, Mackenzie struggled through the high-risk pregnancy.
During the last week of May, she gained 20 pounds of water weight in just two days.
“Over the past 48 hours my body has taken a rapid turn of preeclampsia symptoms. I have gained 20 pounds in 48 hours of water weight,” she said on Snapchat on Wednesday, May 28.
“So I was looking at my feet, ankles and legs and I just started seeing them get bigger and bigger and bigger throughout the day. And then it got to a point where I can’t walk.”
