The girls are officially 12 weeks old, which marks the end of the “fourth trimester”, which people mark as the final adjustment of baby outside of the womb and for the woman to heal and adjust to life with a baby. We had a rough day today with feeding and crankiness, but that hasn’t happened in a while and I think they are heading into their next big development phase.

We have continued to be able to exclusively nurse or give pumped milk and it has settled into our normal and isnt overwhelming or stressful anymore. The girls both babble, Kira more than Caelyn though. Caelyn LOVES faces and has made great headway with tummy time. surpassing Kira a little bit with neck strength from her stomach. Kira rolls over all the time now and they are both becoming more independent if left “on their own” during tummy time, awake in their crib, etc. They are both officially out of preemie and some newborn, since they also fit into the one size cloth diapers. They can wear some shrunk 0-3 and three month sleepers and onsies, although they are very large still. We have been out of the house frequently and the girls are learning to travel much better and easier.

I am returning to work July 9th, so I have less than a month before I have to leave my babies. I still haven’t found their care situation. since there isn’t much to choose from, but I am staying hopeful. Chris is also continuing to adjust and will do bath time, feed bottles and watch babies for me to leave the house or do school, which he did today. We are also basically settled in our home and I am finally getting things hung on the walls, which is the longest it has ever taken after a move.

I cannot wait to see what happens these next few months as Caelyn and Kira continue to grow and learn, as well as us all adjusting to me working outside of the home.
