Third trimester update

I like to post about how fab things are, but unfortunately this third trimester has been full of unexpected challenges. I thought I would still update so everyone knew what we were up to lately. Luckily the pregnancy has still been great, and that is one huge blessing!

The challenges come from a two week cold/sinus infection for me followed by Gavin getting an ear infection. We thought it was better then found out he still had it. Now he is struggling with it even worse and is on breathing treatments. They can be so hard to kick I have learned! This is only his second one but it is a doozy. This current week has been really hard since he keeps getting his fever back in the evenings. I haven't worked very much between repeated doctor appointments and keeping him home from school, and Stefan is trying to help as much as he can during this busy time of year training the NFL combine athletes. Gavin's been going on a month with this thing, so let's hope tomorrow he can finally start going in the right direction.

On top of all that we are trying to clean things out we don't want to take on the move, set up a two month solution for the baby's space here, research daycares in Phoenix and figure out our moving logistics. I knew it would be crazy but let's hope we can cross some things off the list so it will be a bit less crazy once the baby is here. Thankfully we have some great family and friends supporting us from near and far, we love you!

We are hoping to have some fun celebrating our THREE year old this weekend and I'm excited to hopefully post about all happy things relating to his birthday next. Hope everyone else is fairing okay during this "cold" season. 

Some of the good times this last month below!

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...
