I am finally clear of the fourth trimester. I honestly stopped counting down at week 8 because life began to pick back up. The timing of this celebration also lined up with the Summer that everything opened up! So it has been quite a celebration. Virtual school is a thing of the past , a lot of my ‘of age’ family members have been vaccinated so in so many ways I am fully breathing.

It has been ten beautiful weeks of enjoying our new bundle of joy, Zoe.It has definitely been an adjustment.

They say things get easier the second time around and it is true in some ways, but in some ways it's literally the same. The area that is exactly the same is navigating postpartum style.

• We are painted the kids room this weekend

• Put up blackout curtains in our room (life changing)

• Starting to purge to live a more minimal lifestyle.
