You looked directly into my tear filled eyes as I held you in disbelief. Your Daddy and I kept saying, “He’s ours! Can you believe it! He’s finally here!”</p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal">The two years before you were born, our hearts were heavy and longed for a baby. After two miscarriages, I started to accept and embrace that God’s plan for us to become parents might look different than I had expected. I had no idea how it would all play out. </p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal">THE BROKEN <st1:stockticker>ROAD</st1:stockticker></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal">Two weeks after our second miscarriage Eric was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I can remember the numb feeling that came over my entire body when the doctor told us that surgery was necessary. Our entire mindset changed in an instant as we realized that our focus needed to be on getting Eric well. One night while we were lying in bed just a few days before the surgery, I told Eric that maybe God was allowing this because we weren’t supposed to have biological children. Eric said that it might God’s plan or maybe God was allowing this trial so that when we did have our own children HE would get all of the glory. Eric reminded me of Gideon’s army in the Bible and how God may be reducing our army as well. After surgery our chances of conceiving were literally cut in half.</p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal">You can imagine the shock when TWO pink lines appeared on the pregnancy test only 3 weeks after Eric had the cancerous testicle removed. We both laughed out loud as I dreamed about the possibility of a baby in 9 months. With my history of miscarriages I was obviously NERVOUS and was monitored closely throughout the first and second trimester.</p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal">THE MOST WONDERFUL SOUND IN THE WORLD</p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal">It was rather humorous those first few months of pregnancy. Eric was feeling the effects of the radiation killing any cancer cells that may have been left behind and I was feeling the effects of my body nourishing your tiny life. We both spent the evenings on the couch exhausted and nauseous. One thing was for sure, we were thankful. We had our first ultrasound scheduled when I was six weeks pregnant with you. We waited as the doctor started to examine me with the ultrasound machine. It was so quiet I thought I could hear my own heart beating until the doctor said, ‘That’s the sound of your baby’s heart beating.” He pointed to your tiny heart as it pumped blood through your body. Your daddy and I both started to cry as we heard a sound we had never heard before…the sound of OUR baby’s heart. You’re heart. </p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal">FOREVER CHANGED</p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal">Two and a half years later our house is filled with the sound of your sweet voice singing the Firetruck song or laughing as we all wrestle on the floor. I love that Daddy is your best friend and you love emulating everything he does. I love the way you still cuddle me in the mornings as we watch <st1:street><st1:address>Sesame Street</st1:address></st1:street> and sing the Elmo song together. Your name means rest and comfort <span style="font-family:arial;">NOAH PAUL</span> You have brought us much comfort and although I am more tired than I have ever been in my life, my heart finally rests. Thank you for changing our lives! We love you more than words can express Noah. God will use your story to bring Glory to Himself. It is my prayer that you will seek HIM and follow HIM all the days of your life.</p><p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: lucida grande;" class="MsoNormal">

I think I forgot how hard it is to live on little to no sleep, but we are hanging in there. Kate is a sweet baby and doing very well. She had her 1 month check-up this morning and weighed 10 lbs 8 oz. She is in the 90<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> percentile for weight and height. She can be fussy at feeding time, but other than that, she is very mellow and easy. Noah is a great big brother and has adjusted quickly to his new role. He learned how to give Cake (his name for her) her pacifier and then proceeded to do a 1 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">minute</span> celebration dance while singing, "I DID IT!". We love our little family and are so thankful for God's gifts to us!<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Soderin Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637597593907498732noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779836023240849405.post-51796591579549736052009-05-31T23:58:00.000-07:002009-06-01T00:04:00.567-07:00She's Here!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXi2GK-FjBjYa-KAJ4K1fgaMlFaEb4gYRjwBFusKxlaL39gLhsN-ZBS2IOifMQmVYCsBM2TGFNykx5EqaITfjpDtubkCobJUGl0fAXr_t7HlJRFLDgXBmJ3UAiYz1tVD4Kg4MM-tuVg3o/s1600-h/Kate+Soderin-34.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342250634296100322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXi2GK-FjBjYa-KAJ4K1fgaMlFaEb4gYRjwBFusKxlaL39gLhsN-ZBS2IOifMQmVYCsBM2TGFNykx5EqaITfjpDtubkCobJUGl0fAXr_t7HlJRFLDgXBmJ3UAiYz1tVD4Kg4MM-tuVg3o/s320/Kate+Soderin-34.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJnC6gHM8ZijJ9q7JD3bJ5vUR-TZGPn1lY5xqM4NeRnSehblUc3EfK0dDT2JBcoErVCE3f5_Z7kuZ8AtVBIASCaSesizwGTZ-oftA4xrEg2SK38l2dDoqGqqOKIb6UHcHeumRviuqVEFU/s1600-h/Kate+Soderin-2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342250629742489810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJnC6gHM8ZijJ9q7JD3bJ5vUR-TZGPn1lY5xqM4NeRnSehblUc3EfK0dDT2JBcoErVCE3f5_Z7kuZ8AtVBIASCaSesizwGTZ-oftA4xrEg2SK38l2dDoqGqqOKIb6UHcHeumRviuqVEFU/s320/Kate+Soderin-2.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;">Kate Lauren Soderin</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">May 26th 2009 at 5pm</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">8 pounds 13 ounces 21 inches long</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Everyone is doing great!

I am ready for this baby girl to come! My wonderful friends threw me a sweet shower last Saturday. I was blessed with the most adorable little girl clothes! Washing and putting away all of her new goodies made me so excited to meet her. My friend </span><a href="http://joeyandkatie.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#ff6666;">Katie</span></a><span style="color:#ff6666;"> had been planning on hosting my shower at her house but the shower had to be moved after her son came down with a nasty stomach flu the morning of the event. My friend Megan stepped up and with only a few hours preparation, had the shower at her house. Megan put up a few pictures of what Katie had been planning to decorate with. So creative and cute! I seriously couldn't have felt more loved by the efforts of both Katie, Megan, and all of my friends who helped and attended. Thank you ladies! On another note, our <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">doula</span> will be out of town the 19<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> through the 30<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>, so PLEASE pray that this little one decides to come before the 18<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>!

I am 36 weeks according to an early ultrasound, but after my calculations as well as the fact that the little one measured almost a week ahead at our 31 week ultrasound, I am guessing that I am closer to 37 weeks. We had an interesting week to say the least, but we are happy to report that the baby is doing great! </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I was covering for my partner teacher last Tuesday at school when I starting feeling "weird". I felt <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nauseous</span> and dizz<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">y</span> and was having contractions that were pretty uncomfortable. It was also a scorching 100 degrees in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">SLO</span>. Not what my body was used to or liked. After trying to lay down and see if I felt better, I decided that I needed to go home to Los <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Osos</span> where I was sure to get some relief from the heat. I kept Noah at daycare and thought I'd take a nap. As I was driving home, I started to feel even more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">nausea</span>. Luckily I made it into my house before I "lost" everything I had eaten that day. I laid down and no matter what position I was in, I was having lots of "uncomfortable"contractions. I tried to eat or drink but couldn't. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">On my 12 minute drive to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">babysitters</span> house to pick up Noah, I counted 3 strong contractions and realized that maybe they were becoming more regular. By 6:45 I was feeling horrible and having contractions every 5 minutes. I decided to call my doctor. He said it would be a good idea to go to Labor and Delivery and get checked out. I threw some things in a bag while Eric got Noah ready for bed. Our dear friend <a href="http://www.holdmama.blogspot.com/">Holly</a> came over and we set out for the hospital. When we got there, the nurse got all the monitors set up and sure enough I was having regular contractions and some that I had to breath through. The nurse checked me and I was 1 cm. The doctor had the nurse give me IV fluids to see if re-hydrating me would stop the contractions. We waited about an hour, and although the intensity of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">the contractions</span> slowed down, I was still having them. They <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">decided</span> to give me a shot of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><a href="http://www.healthline.com/yodocontent/pregnancy/preterm-labor-terbutaline.html">Terbutaline</a></span> to make sure the contractions stopped. The shot worked and after a few hours of observation we were able to go home. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I had a doctor's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">appt</span>. and Non-Stress Test on Thursday. The baby looked great and my contractions had stopped. I was also starting to feel better from the stomach flu I must have had. The doctor checked me again and I was 2cm. He said the baby may come early, but at this point I am far enough along that they won't stop labor.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">We are so excited to meet our little girl, but I am hoping <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">that</span> she stays put for at least another week. </span></div>Soderin Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637597593907498732noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779836023240849405.post-12845999751610111082009-04-05T15:58:00.000-07:002009-04-05T16:21:39.111-07:00Top 10 Things You Shouldn't Say to a Pregnant Woman<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuJNexKWwIhRnLdEg8BKJCwBGz2i7VzDLlcXTJzVLwq-yM54OXo8K829RzkxIC5MgpwXNBe9s4qI7A7p_Te79SGWG7tHhgepn0YSaSulgPuWG27UKrTeMqmc-aAra-7JCCbHJGZkzj30/s1600-h/33+weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321351224772151314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuJNexKWwIhRnLdEg8BKJCwBGz2i7VzDLlcXTJzVLwq-yM54OXo8K829RzkxIC5MgpwXNBe9s4qI7A7p_Te79SGWG7tHhgepn0YSaSulgPuWG27UKrTeMqmc-aAra-7JCCbHJGZkzj30/s320/33+weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#33ff33;">33 weeks</span><br /><span style="color:#33ff33;"></span><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">10.

He is talking so much and it seems like he learns a new word every other day. He is like a sponge and I am really enjoying this age. We are all getting ready for our baby girl to arrive. Eric is drafting a plan for a closet organizer and I am getting ready to incorporate a few "girl" elements to the room that she and Noah will share. I am saying "she" and "her" because as of now, we haven't decided on a name. I have a few that I like, but nothing that has grabbed me yet. We are also thinking we may keep the name a secret until she is here. It's always fun to have some element of surprise. I am feeling more connected to her and a few nights ago a feeling of love came over me as I felt her moving inside of me. It has taken a lot longer to connect with this pregnancy than it did with Noah, but I am slowly starting to feel a sense of anticipation for our little girl to come and join our family. Only 18 more weeks! </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Soderin Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637597593907498732noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779836023240849405.post-25158323840412538862008-12-20T09:40:00.000-08:002008-12-20T09:50:46.987-08:00It's a...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYiTSwEn8SUvdDNMZITbDis26FAGsnV2sDGJu4-MY7XmHifKzgYdr6SlZiaSrB4nXF8TRYhyphenhyphenOy8pHiqzMz1x9mF7EahobXAwxGQ1bJT1ijSt9oC2lVSDAniGgRp3NaDDY95bIilf9F6s/s1600-h/lt_pink_bow_op_800x363.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281930855593092546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYiTSwEn8SUvdDNMZITbDis26FAGsnV2sDGJu4-MY7XmHifKzgYdr6SlZiaSrB4nXF8TRYhyphenhyphenOy8pHiqzMz1x9mF7EahobXAwxGQ1bJT1ijSt9oC2lVSDAniGgRp3NaDDY95bIilf9F6s/s320/lt_pink_bow_op_800x363.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;">GIRL!!!</span><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;">We had our ultrasound yesterday and found out that we indeed have a healthy baby girl.

We celebrated Noah's first birthday with our friends and family over Labor Day weekend. Noah got to meet his cousin Sophia from Oregon for the first time and he got to play with his cousin Asher too! We ate a lot, laughed a lot, and enjoyed the blessings of our children. I started teaching 2 days a week and it has been a blast. I haven't felt this tired in along time though. Noah is doing well at daycare, and I am so thankful for the care he is getting there. Oh, a shout out to Eric who just earned his contractor's license. We are very proud of him! Noah is talking/yelling up a storm and he is perfecting his tantrums. His favorite thing to yell is da da. The other day he was in the bathroom while I was getting ready for school. He started to flush the toilet and I said, "No Noah". He looked at me and shook his head no. Then he signed please. I thought it was the cutest thing ever. Needless to say, he didn't get to flush the toilet. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff9900;">Here are some pics of the past two months.

He is saying mama, dada, baba, and of course shaking his no when he doesn't like something. We are having so much fun with our little boy. He is keeping me busy following me all around the house and pulling up on anything and everything. His favorite food is probably turkey or chicken, and he only wants to feed himself now. Hmm, I wonder where he gets that independent attitude. We are looking forward to our first "official" family vacation to my parent's cabin in <a href="http://www.cityofslt.us/">South Lake Tahoe</a>. Gramie and Grandpie will be joining us for part of our stay and Eric and I are looking forward to having some dates and maybe playing a game or two of <a href="http://www.harrahs.com/casinos/harrahs-lake-tahoe/hotel-casino/property-home.shtml">blackjack</a>. We also get to see <a href="https://www.harrahs.com/EventsDetail.do?locationCode=HLT&detailName=plant-krauss-2008-detail&eventTitle=Robert+Plant+%26+Alison+Krauss">Alison Krauss and Robert Plant </a>live at Harrah's outdoor venue. Pictures to follow as soon as we get back! Here are some recent pics of Noah in the meantime.

When I reflect on what we have experienced together these past 5 years, my heart is filled with praise, thanksgiving, and joy for what God has done. There have been both times of blessings and times of trials, but I truly believe that it has made our marriage stronger and our friendship deeper. I wouldn't want to go through this life with anyone else. Eric is an amazing husband and the father every child dreams of. I love you Eric and can't wait to celebrate 70 more years with you as your wife.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><em>Eric, today in the presence of God and these witnesses, I commit myself to you as your wife, your encourager and your best friend. Because the Lord is the source of all that is perfect, I promise to continually seek Him as the giver of my love for you. I promise to be your helper and supporter that I may comfort you in times of sorrow and share with you joy in times of gladness. Eric, because the Lord has made us for each other, I joyfully anticipate the years ahead as we grow together in Christ and as a family. I promise to always be faithful to you and to our commitment, no matter what the cost and no matter what the sacrifice, for as long as we both shall live.</em></div></div></div>Soderin Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637597593907498732noreply@blogger.com4
