Key West Get Away

Thanks so much to G&G H for watching Gavin for almost four days while Stefan and I ventured down to Key West over the 4th of July long weekend. We relaxed as much as we could, mostly hanging by the pool during the day, then made our way to town for the dinners without a nearly 1 1/2 year old squirming around. Mostly we enjoyed sleeping in! We had a great time, but I was excited to see our little man again with it being my first time leaving him overnight. 

Pretty drive from Miami to Key West through all the other keys.
Famous sunset.

Tapas at Santiago's Bodega, a hidden gem and oh so yum!


Key Lime pie of course. Stefan couldn't wait to get some!


Ahhh - our hangout for two days.

I couldn't get him out of the pool!

My festive nails and a Miami Vice (strawberry daiquiri and pina colada)



I had to find a sign to take my pic with - every evening they have a Sunset Celebration here with street performers and vendors before the sun sets. We enjoyed some amazing Cuban food first, then scoped out the action.

Not bad! Going through the hula hoop over the girl on the bike. Pretty impressive.

Early morning drive back to Miami to make our flight.
Waiting for us to arrive back home.

"I missed you!"

Together again!

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

Image
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...
