“Other than pooped, I feel great,” says the new mom. “Very happy that he’s finally here. I’m still in awe and in disbelief. I feel like every step of this pregnancy has taken me time to adjust. And then as soon as I almost adjust, it’s onto the next milestone or the next thing. I feel like I’m always playing catchup with my feelings.”
Drew shares that his first taste of fatherhood has been “amazing.”

Parker’s arrival was an extended one. The couple shared that Linda was in labor for 44 hours.
“It was getting dangerously long,” says Linda, who eventually agreed to an epidural — something she had initially hoped to avoid as she’s “terrified of needles” — and a cesarean section.
“It seems like such a blur now,” she says. “Just being in the moment, I think that’s all you can do. I felt oddly calm for the most part. Like I was just flowing through it.”
Adds Linda, “He made it just in time to celebrate with us.”

The pair have beenmarried for four yearsand have been together for almost a dozen. Phan and Scott were given the good news in August 2021 after two years of fertility treatments.
“It has been an adventure to get here! We know we’re not alone in this experience and that everyone’s is filled with unique challenges along the way,” Scott and Phan wrote, referring to their IVF journey. “When we first started down this path, we quickly felt sooooo appreciative of the doctors we’ve been fortunate to work with, and fam and friends who supported us throughout, sharing their stories or simply just being there.
“It made an overwhelming time in our lives more manageable,” they continued. “We hope as we grow through this, that even one of you reading this can also feel a little less lonely in whatever path you’re on!”
