Welcome back to Day 3 of Hudson Month!

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• The moment a gut officially becomes a bump, and fancy pants get retired for the foreseeable future.
• Pregnancy exhaustion hitting hard
• Baby showers getting a whole new level of competitive energy when you're also pregnant
• The magic of maternity jeans and why you should always bring your mom shopping
• The art of perfecting your pregnancy shtick... and recycling it shamelessly
• Strangers and their wandering hands (the belly rub etiquette debate is real)
• Babies getting a little less terrifying as Baby Dub's arrival inches closer

I'm also running a 5K every weekend in July in Hudson's honor and donating to the Forget Me Not program at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. If you'd like to do the same, links for donations are in the show notes!

Links mentioned:

• Donate to the Forget Me Not program: https://give.providence.org/inw/donate-now
• Meet Baby Dub on Amazon — $15, with the majority of proceeds going back to the Forget Me Not program

Next up: an Independence Day episode digging into the patriotic threads of Hudson's story.

Work hard, mom harder, love hardest. We can change the world.
