| 0:19.0 | There is so much to cover here. I cannot believe it's been 12 weeks since Surrell was born. |
| 0:25.0 | Yeah and for those who aren't familiar the fourth trimester is that first 12 weeks |
| 0:29.8 | after the baby is born and we have had a beautiful experience but we've had a lot go on in that period of time and we're excited to break it down and |
