Easter and Pregnancy Update

Our whole family always makes plans to get together at least once a month. This month of course was Easter. Each of the kids got a bag (their favorite color) and a designated Easter egg color that they had to find. The kids had a blast!

On Easter, all healthy eating goes out the window. Breakfast of champions, cotton candy!






Ava has been real into Mario lately. I have no idea how or why. She got a Wii Mario game that her and her dad played for three hours that day (yeah, eating and screen time rules go out the window on holidays). She also got a Mario shirt that I had to watch everyday so she could wear it for a week straight (hey, at least it was clean).


Now for pregnancy updates. I failed my glucose test by one point!!! My perinatologist came into the room laughing. She broke the news to me and told me that I have had one of the most unlucky pregnancies. Gee thanks. BGM (baby girl Mcgraw) also has slightly dilated kidneys. The dr. didn't seem too worried, but we will keep a close eye on things. When she was checking my cervical length (sorry TMI),she asked if I have been feeling pressure. Are you kidding me? I feel like I have to walk with my legs crossed and the pressure, that once was just uncomfortable, now just plain hurts. She turned the screen to show me why I was feeling this. TMI again, BGM's head is literally pushing so hard against my stitch that my uterus is getting pushed down. She said there really isn't anything they can do, and that my stitch looks great and is obviously doing its job. She said if I didn't have it in, BGM would already be here. If the pressure continues/gets worse my stitch may have to be taken out early to prevent any tearing. I guess only time will tell. Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming.
