Last night on Aug 8, 2024 was the FIRST night Evan and I had a real date night out of the house since Feb 14, 2024. I guess bringing a baby out past 7pm his bedtime is not smart? Where do I start? The FREEDOM, the light-weightedness, the FREEDOM! I think only moms and dads…

Today last year, I had my left breast lumpectomy at MSK in the city. My mom came here for a week from Taiwan to be with me, and Evan drove us to the city for the operation. Look at what one year can do! It’s only been 1 year, but SO much great things has…

I’m officially in my 4 1/2 month period in my pregnancy. It still doesn’t feel real to me, I think it’s because it took me SO long to get here (5 years) that it’s taking a while to hit me. I’m starting to feel the little “flutters” in my tummy, which are little movements or…

It’s that time of the year again, when kids get out of the pool, dry themselves off, and realize it’s time to face reality again, school. That was three decades ago for me, but today I just traveled back in time and saw my UCLA freshman year transcript for the first time since 1996. I…

It’s true, we’re 9 weeks pregnant now! I have to admit, sometimes I’m still in disbelief, but I am always grateful for this magical life that’s growing in my body right now, right this moment. I’m taking a deep breath, and I want to take it all in and connect with this miracle. This week…

Today started out like any other normal day while I’m on my unemployment and waiting for my weekly ultrasounds in my early pregnancy. My original appointment with Dr Kligman was supposed to be today at 12:45 pm, but because Evan had his cavity fillings scheduled for today, I had to “change” my ultrasound to tomorrow…

I’m coming right back here after I’ve just posed about my experience at my first ever TS concert because I am officially in my TWW!!! It’s EXCITING! We transferred one day 5 blastocyst, graded 3AA. The photo is beautiful. This is how we ALL started, from these cluster of cells dividing, life is extraordinary. I…
