Memorial Weekend

Who doesn't love a long weekend? We fully enjoyed our time together and with friends, and we took advantage of what Florida has to offer ... the beach! 

First up, on Saturday, Stefan and Gavin had some Daddy/Son time and made a trip to Starbucks and Stefan's work to play on the turf while I got some things done around the house. 

My loves - Gavin's becoming more addicted to that darn paci, but we'll let him have it for now and deal with weaning that when he is a bit older. 
Sunday we celebrated a few friends here getting married at their couple's shower. Monday we met with the newlyweds from the east coast wedding we just attended and made it a beach day. The days of snoozing in the sun are long gone replaced with buckets of sand everywhere and on everyone. Man oh man, going to the beach with a toddler is pretty hectic, but it was worth it. He even made it into the Gulf since the waves were light. 

Hope everyone in the U.S. enjoyed a nice long weekend and remembered where our freedoms came from. We are counting down the days till Friday when Gavin's Great Grandma and Grandpa Macocha make an appearance for the weekend! 



Libby!


The newlyweds - my faithful blog follower will enjoy this one ;)

Beach beauties, before the sand took over every inch of me from a clingy toddler.

FL Friends Showering us with Loads of Love

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...
