On Baby A's birthday, the c-section surgery went as planned. I walked into the OR around 9:30am and was pushed out around 2 hours later. W was instructed to wait outside while the team was getting me prepared for anesthesia. He then got invited to come in and sat next to me while the team worked on getting Baby A out of me 😂. W was a good DJ and Baby A was born while Taylor Swift's Shake It Off was being played. So...did I feel any pain during this life-changing surgery? No, I didn't. I had a spinal block. I never felt any type of pain during the surgery. Getting the anesthesia injected - however - was the most uncomfortable part of the surgery. There was a lot of pressure.

So...it's official! We're moving next month!!! This is going to be our 5th time moving in the last 7 years and my 10th time moving since my parents brought me to this country 15 years ago, not counting the 3 times where we moved from Taiwan to here and back there and back here before they moved back again (I know, it's a bit confusing). So what makes this year's move so special? Well, it's special because we will never have to think "what will the landlord think" or "can I drill a hole on the wall to hang a painting" or anything landloard this or landlord that. Never need to fight with anyone for getting that deposit back or pay monthly pet fees. You probably have an idea what's going on by now.... yes, this is our home, our real first home :)
