Best moment: It's been a little bumpy in the Soderquist household as of late. It feels like the stress of our impending bundle has heightened and we're just trying to keep it all together. That sounds a little dramatic, but that's normal for new first time parents, right? With that being said, the week did produce two best moments. The first was at yoga. As the session was winding down, the instructor had us sit there and just hold our baby and send an intention to them. A wish that we had for their life. It was a really sweet moment and made me feel so connected to the little bee. With the craziness in life, it was nice to take a moment and just pause with my baby and be in the moment. My wish for h/h was happiness. While it probably sounds generic, I really want our baby to be happy and protected in life. I want worry and fear and sadness to be moments few and far between in h/h life and have the ability to soak up all the wonderfulness life has to offer. With all of our recent stresses, I can't help but think that I don't want our baby to experience any of that for a long long time. We'll do our best.
The second best moment was laying in bed with Evan's head on my belly, talking to the baby. He told bee the story of how we met and said he couldn't wait to have the same conversation in person. It brought a tear to my eye and the thought of such a moment occurring between my husband and our child was almost too much to bear.  |

Symptoms: heat. So as I've expressed before, pregnancy adds at least 15 degrees and the heat adds about 25 lbs, so you do the math. Mama is hot…HOT. I've always been one who has really enjoyed the heat but this little situation in my body is giving me a new perspective.
Cravings/aversions: "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard." and other milkshakes bring me so much joy. I can't get enough. The stereotype of pregnant women loving ice cream is no joke and I'm happy to perpetuate it. Aversions- heat.
What I miss: enjoying the summer weather. I mean, these days? I'm sitting in the shade. Yuck. I always judge people who sit in the shade when it's a beautiful day out. Now, I get it. I get it.
What I can't wait for: Two of our good friends, Kristin and Andy are getting married at the end of the month in Bellingham and I'm excited to get away, even if it's for a night. Change up the routine a bit, get out of the house. I think it will be good.
Milestones: Baby's now the size of a cucumber! As baby's skin smoothes out, his brain just keeps getting more wrinkled. All those grooves and indentations increase surface area, meaning more room for that oh-so-essential brain tissue. He's also adding some brawn- his grip is now strong enough to grasp a finger.
