So it does not count that I lived in the house we’re selling for the last 2 out of 5 years?

No, it does not count. You must have lived in the house as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last five years *YOU* owned it. You state you've only been on the deed "a couple of months" which gives me the impression the property was deeded to you in 2022. So you haven't lived in the house as your primary residence for even a full year *since you owned it*.

The reason is for my mom to move closer to us. She is taking chemo.

That's not really a valid reason for "you" having ownership the property.
