Inside Vasily Podkolzin’s Canucks journey: Country music, movie nights and lessons from the Sedins By Harman Dayal
Quinn Hughes was sitting in a dimly lit Seattle movie theatre on a Friday night, playing the big brother role. It was Vasily Podkolzin and Nils Höglander’s first-ever NHL road trip, so Vancouver’s star defender invited them out to watch a movie with him and Elias Pettersson.
Hughes was engrossed in the film. In the middle of the action, he glanced to his left and saw that Höglander was snoring, fast asleep. Then Hughes turned to his right — Podkolzin was knocked out too.
“I heard (“Dune”) was a great movie so I grabbed those guys and said, ‘Let’s go watch,'” said Hughes. “It’s very complicated. I would compare it to ‘Interstellar’ — even when a guy speaks English, he won’t understand some of the things.
“Those guys didn’t have a chance,” he added with a laugh. “They didn’t understand a single word. I don’t even know if they knew what the movie was about. Hogs slept for two hours and Podz was like 30 minutes.”
Podkolzin laughed thinking back to the memory. “Oh my God, it was horrible. I didn’t understand anything,” he said.
Hughes made it up by organizing a movie night later in the year to watch “The Batman,” which went much more smoothly.

We don’t brag on Tyson nearly enough. He is so incredibly patient and loving to all of us sisters. He even tinkles on us when we are outside just to show how much he cares. 💦 𝒯𝓎𝓈𝑜𝓃 𝒞𝒽𝒾𝒸𝓀𝑒𝓃 #bigbrother #bigbro #bigbrothers #bestbigbrother #bestbigbrotherever #bestbigbro #tinkle #tyson #tysonchicken #bostonterrier #bostonterrierlove #bostonterriers #bostonterrierlife #bostonterriersforever #bostonterriergram #bostonterriernation #bostonterriermom #mooresvilleindiana #hegrewupinanindianatown #bostonterriersrule #bostonterrieroverload #bostonterriermoments #cutedogs #cutedog #cutedogpics #cutedogpic #bigboy #welovehim #donttellhim #shhh (at Mooresville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFzxgvOkwr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our ultrasound this week was quick with a simple, "everything looks good! See you in 2 weeks!"
The ultrasound tech was sweet and spent some time trying to get us a good 3D shot. A little difficult as baby had knees in their face as well as some umbilical cord and, I assume, intestines. But, it almost looks like a smile!
Last week we saw one of our midwives who clarified that we officially have a "growth restriction" diagnosis and, while it's a typical result of #Gastroschisis, it stills makes it a third #highriskpregnancy diagnosis (the original being "advanced maternal age" .... I'm old!😝). So.... We should expect more appointments than originally told. Fun, fun.
Juggling appointments in times of COVID (aka no childcare options) is one of the most stressful parts of all this. So grateful my husband's job is being flexible in letting him work off-hours if possible, but it's not always possible for me to get the first or last appointment of the day and I assume as appointments increase, that will continue to be difficult.
He's trying to save as much time as possible for #NICUlife so it's a huge blessing that at least he's able to work from home which gives him more time with us. While the average #gastrobaby spends 6-8 weeks in NICU, it can be anywhere from 4 weeks to a year and 40% of cases return within the first year with complications. So very difficult for us to plan for everything, and right now we feel it most in using his PTO!
Meanwhile the kids are #fallinginlove with baby. They both are sure to give my #bump #goodnightkisses at bedtime. The 4 year old made baby a card this week, writing "Baby" ("Ha," he laughed, "it's upside down!") and drawing a ❤️ on the envope. #bestillmyheart #siblinglove #bestbigbrother #homeschoolpreschool #25weekstoday https://www.instagram.com/p/CENmJftjYlB/?igshid=lnkmcs1yyvfl

Men always talk about women having “daddy issues” and having to deal with those repercussions. Well, to that I say, men - step up with those women that have great men in their lives and show them how they’re supposed to be treated. I have an amazing big brother. Happy Birthday @jimmyjam99!! 🥳🎉 Thank you for always being there for me. Love you! 😘💛 #BestBigBrother https://www.instagram.com/p/B7bnwuMgDu797TiEujcPIKr_byJXyXBLmnsOI40/?igshid=qain6v5w6pab
