"Becoming a new mother in May 2020 was really, really actually awful," said Stephanie Wu. Wu and her husband welcomed their first child in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdowns. "My parents masked up and met our son on the sidewalk outside the apartment," Wu said. The chaos of that time was especially hard for the new mom. "When my son turned one year old is kind of when I was just like, 'Oh my God, what happened to my life?'" Five months later, Wu found out she was pregnant with her second child.
