it has been a hot minute since I last posted, 3 months ago. here's what's up with me:

I'm pregnant šŸ„³ we'll be expecting a boy in March. it'll be my first. please let me know your baby advice, words of wisdom and lessons learned.

I moved back to my home in the US and have been back to my homemaking and crafting. As much as I was comfortable in Taipei with the urban hustle and close family, I like being back in my suburban home where the nights are quiet and the supermarket deli can slice mild cheddar cheese off the block.

so, what's up with you guys? what have I missed?

I have maybe the ā€œunpopular opinionā€ that time with a baby *slows down.* Even in memory. Our first baby is 1yo. Each day is so full, it feels impossible that the next will be just as full. And because each month, baby is so different, each month feels pressed with its own unique character.

Also, be prepared for lots of media to hit different. ā€œChildren in dangerā€ themes/scenes became harder to watch. Finding Nemo is now unwatchable for me. Idk maybe it will smooth out with time.

I also found that baby forced us into a ruthless economy with time. Iā€™ve never been so efficient at work.

thank you for your thoughtful message ā¤ļø

I'm already starting to get different feels from media. Parent child scenes have loads of different, intense feelings now.
