Gavin survives dual work trip

Gavin survived a work trip for me and Stefan at the same time. Only because of our amazing friend, Libby! Seriously, everyone should have a friend like her in their life. Thank you so much Libby for watching Gavin for two days/nights, while we both were gone, and using your float days off to be with him. So glad he was good for you and you both had fun. Enjoy some pics she shared of G while I was gone.





My trip was for two nights in New Orleans and it was not only a great networking event but fun to see so many colleagues in person! (A big deal when you work remotely). I also got to spend lots of time catching up with a dear friend from Indy and my LLS office days.

Stefan is heading home now to arrive late tonight before our big Canada trip! We are so excited to see some family. :) More to come for sure!

And a little geography lesson from Gavin about G&G H's and Uncle Matt's recent travels.

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...
