End of Year Reflection

Biggest Lesson?

+ Do/say things with a sober mind

Grateful for

+ My husband - he gave me so much grace even when it wasn't returned to him. He has loved me through some very tough moments this year and still provided the best care for me and our daughters. I honestly can't imagine doing any of this without him.

+ My daughters - I couldn't be more thankful for my two sweet daughters. I can be called "Mama" because of them and they continue to sanctify me each and every day. I'm also grateful for the many "firsts" moments that I had with them.

+ My mentor - I would not have made it through this first year of motherhood without my mentor's guidance and prayers.

The hardest thing about this year was

+ In a nutshell, managing my time and balancing all the different roles that I have. 

 

Christmas - 2023

Chu and I realized that 24 is a sentimental number for our family.

+ On November 24, 2018, Chu and I got married. This year we celebrated 5 years of marriage.

+ On January 24, 2023, we welcomed our daughters, Ever and Haisley, into this world and became a family of four. Today, they’re 11 months.

+ On May 24, 2023, we closed on our first home.

These blessings are God’s gracious gifts to us and we fully enjoy them, but we’re also thankful for his everlasting gift, Jesus.

Merry Christmas from the Yangs

Ever

Family of FOUR

 My heart still can't believe that we're a family of FOUR! I'm just beyond grateful that we're finally all home together. Life as Chu and I know it has been forever altered.

Ever

Haisley

Peep their little pacifiers. They did so well during their first photoshoot, but at this point, they were hitting their limit.

Ever & Haisley

Our precious girls arrived on Tuesday, January 24th at 34 weeks. We’re overjoyed and completely smitten. We just can’t believe that they’re ours! We’re so grateful that there’s double of everything. Double love, adoration, and joy.

Also, we praise God for a smooth labor and delivery process. Honestly, it could not have gone any better. I would love to share my story one day, but right now I just want to let everything sink in and focus on making sure the girls make it home safely first. I will share that God was so good about giving us a great doctor and a team of nurses who walked us through everything. We’re forever thankful to everyone.

Chu and I have been officially discharged, but the girls are still in the NICU. They’re making progress every day and I now understand what they mean when they say, “Small, but mighty!” We know they’re resilient and they continue to make Chu and I so proud to be their parents.

Truly, we just can't wait to be united together as a family. We also can't wait for our family and friends to meet them as well. They have so many people ready to love on them.

Maternity Shoot

 Love our minimal Christmas-themed maternity shoot.

Baby Shower

 Had the sweetest baby shower for the girls.

So happy to have this great group of ladies as my support system!

One of the games required the ladies to draw a picture of what the twins would look like. There were so many good ones that it was hard to choose. I plan to keep these for my sweet girls and see if they end up looking like any of these. 

These cookies were baked by a friend, and they not only looked so cute, but they tasted sooo good!
