Back to work

Our little babe will be 12 weeks on Sunday, which means Monday I go back to work. It really is hard to believe. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. With Gavin we had the nanny so it was a much easier transition. This time both of them will be out of the house and Z will be with other babies plus I have to figure out the whole pumping plan to keep breastfeeding. In a lot of ways it will be easier but I know initially it will be super hard! Thankful again we got the daycare we wanted! 

I also know work has a lot going on right now because of all the things going on when I left, so it is going to be a lot to process and handle. Not to mention saying goodbye to mom and dad and being in a new place is also on my mind. Woo wee! I have to remember it is all good things-then maybe I can be grateful and not sad or overwhelmed! 

However before all that happens Libby is here! She has a work event tomorrow but extended it to spend four days with us-yay! Love her! We will be testing out daycare on Friday so that means we will get a girls day at least. Maybe that will help me after being sad with taking them. 

We also had a great Father's Day and enjoyed our weekend with M&D H before they went back to MI. Plus Stefan took a few days off this week since he is traveling for over a week over the 4th (yes I'm totally nervous about my first long trip of his where I have both babes and it will be my second week of work, ah!). We checked out the children's museum yesterday-very cool! Happy official summer everyone!

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

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...
