Boys Trip to Calgary

Baby girl and I have been holding down the fort this week while the boys ventured up to Calgary to hang with Gma U, U. Mike/A. Katie, cousins and friends. They have had a blast doing all sorts of fun things. Check out some of the pictures S shared with me below. And, enjoy a few of the Z baby from here in Phoenix. Thanks Gma for hosting the boys. I know they will be bummed to head back after having so much fun this week. 

I've felt a little bad that I haven't updated Z monthly since she was a month like I did with G, so here is an update on her. 

Z is 17 months old+, starting to say some words (baby, ball, ice, no, yea, mama, dada, baby, uh oh) and has quite the opinionated personality. She has all her teeth, is not a great eater, loves to drink her milk, thrives outside and playing with water, is in size 12-18 month clothes, still seems on the smaller side, is finally doing better sleeping a little later into the morning (7 p.m. to 5:30 now and goes back down with a paci till 6, 4 days in so let's hope it continues), likes to dance, do what G is doing, copy what others are doing, sing Row, Row, Row your boat (or other songs), says "roar" for all animals, calls most things "baby", and is starting to listen to books being read to her now. Her smile and giggle can light up my entire mood, and I'm so grateful for this amazing little lady! 

Playing at Gma's park.

A great mode of transportation to the park.

The girls having fun at home in Phoenix. Yep, an impromptu water table play session lead to no swim diaper.

Folding laundry Z decided she missed G so put on his undies! Eating one of my homemade popsicles  (my attempt to get her to eat some real nutrition other than milk!)

New Legos from cousins Dave and Katie.


Mountain playtime. Inuksuk building!

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...
