Kade River Kolodziej 💙9.17.26

The most surreal, incredible, exhausting, love-filled five days of my life. Nothing could have prepared me for any of it, especially how much I could LOVE this little boy. Every time I look at him, I can’t believe I created something so beautiful.

So grateful for our families and friends, for my doula @energydoula_ and the support and peace she brought me throughout labor, and for Chris, who has been a literal angel through every second of this. Watching you become his dad has made me love you in an entirely new way.

I have so many thoughts after yesterday, but mostly just… THANK YOU.

My mom and sister planned the most beautiful baby shower and I honestly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. Every little detail was so thoughtful, and you could feel how much love went into the whole day. It was filled with so many of the women I adore and I left feeling so grateful.

Pregnancy is such a weird thing. It’s exciting and so so special, but it can also feel lonely sometimes. You’re carrying this little peanut that no one else has met yet, and so much of the experience just stays in your own head and body. Yesterday reminded me that both our little boy and I are already surrounded by so much love.

To my family, my friends, Chris’s family, and everyone who took the time to celebrate our little boy… thank you. Thank you for showing up, for loving him already, and for making me feel so supported. It means more than you’ll ever know.

Chris - thank you for being the person I get to do all of this with. I couldn’t ask for a better partner or dad for our son. I love you a whole lot.

My heart is so full. Thank you all for giving us a day we’ll never forget. 🧡💛

Had a great time this weekend in the Pine Barrens with Chris and Mike. Here’s one of 3 kingsnakes Mike spotted while we were gallivanting in the woods. He had the eagle eyes turned all the way up for sure.
