An upcoming visit and five more sleeps!

We've almost made it nine nights with just the two of us, and then Auntie Caitlin arrives tomorrow! Only five more sleeps till Daddy is home, too! 

The beginning of the week was rough as he was definitely affected by his shots. He woke up four times the night after, which was hard on the this two-week stay at home mom. But, he got back into his routine by the end of the week. Since then he has woken up once one night, and he is eating a bit earlier, around 4:45 a.m. but goes back to sleep until 7:45 a.m., so that isn't too bad. I moved up his bed time routine by 15 minutes so dinner starts at 6:15 p.m. and bed time routine starts at 7-7:15 p.m. It seems to be going well so far. I think he likes going to bed by 7:30 p.m. I'm still doing the dream feed, but we'll see when that feels right to let that go. I am not going to change anything that drastic until Daddy is home to help if needed during the night and early morning! 

We had some fun with friends this weekend. Thanks to Robb and Julie for dinner out on Friday followed by Gavin's dinner time and bath time help, Ashton for lunch on Saturday, and our friends down here for our brief visit during Calli's b-day party. We also had a great visit with Katie, Autumn (19 months) and Arrabelle (6 weeks) last week. That was entertaining to have all the kiddos together! As always thanks to Nat for hanging with us for dinner last week and a walk tonight! 

It's been fun with friends, but we can't wait for Auntie to arrive tomorrow morning!

FL Friends Showering us with Loads of Love

Image
I have to say I feel very grateful and blessed to have some great friends in FL. It makes it a bit easier being away from family knowing we have loving friends here who are genuinely excited about Baby Underwood's arrival and spending time with him/her. Three special girls, Calli, Libby and Natalie, planned an Aussie-themed shower to go with the nursery theme. It was adorable and all so appreciated. Thanks to them and all the ladies who were able to make it out for a Sunday afternoon dedicated to celebrating the pending arrival of Baby U. Much love! Hand-knit koala hat! Brooke - you are so good! Lots of our FL family. Aussie-themed cupcakes, and they tasted great, too! To see the full album check it out here . Our last appointment went well! I passed my gestational diabetes test, uterus measured well, heart beat of the baby was strong, my weight was still right on and blood pressure was ... well, it is okay compared to where it has been. One more appointment...

First Trimester Fun

LENGTH WARNING: Last post and this post are catching you up and will serve as a memory for us in the future, so we apologize they are a little long. Once we got home and settled from our European adventures we hunkered down while I fought daily fatigue, a decent amount of nausea, a few food aversions and a heightened sense of smell that often left me holding my noise and running away from its source. Our first doctor's appointment was scheduled for 8 1/2 weeks and it seemed like forever away. One huge blessing is working from home where I don't have to get ready or act "normal". Stefan and Andrew helped out with some cleaning, cooking and errands while I really took it down a notch. I normally have a hard time resting and relaxing and not accomplishing much in a day, so my July was a bit different. The first appointment was great for the most part. We got confirmation and even got an ultra sound. We could see it's little heart beating although we won...
