Summer Fun

Last weekend we hosted many of Stefan's colleagues and a few friends for a BBQ and corn hole tournament. It was HOT! The hottest week we have had, and then this week it has cooled down a bit of course. Everyone was a great sport though and stuck through to it. Stefan and I were team RRWWB (red, red, white, white, blue, for the colors in the American and Canadian flag, yea corny!). Although we feel like terrible hosts, we did end up with the championship win! :)

Gavin got to play with 2 year old Allie and enjoy the baby pool and sprinkler. We are looking forward to some visitors and hopefully beach time if it doesn't rain this weekend. Come on down Lauren, Dan and Nora, we are ready for a fun weekend!

Let the games begin! (Libby, Shane, Jeremy and Chasity)

Team Wilkins always such good sports - homemade team shirts!

The kids staying cool.

Recovering on Sunday with a family nap (I woke up first of course then had to snap this so show it really happened)

True summer fun - watermelon on the back porch!

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...
