As of today, I’m officially free.  WOO HOO!!  Free from all the physical restrictions that were placed on me after the c-section six weeks ago.  YES!  Now I can go back to my skydiving, bungie jumping and daily 10k runs.

OK, I never did any of those things, but up until today, my Doctor wouldn’t allow me to even do “postpartum” yoga.  I thought she was a little overboard on the restrictions, because this yoga is basically just stretching (how can that be bad?), but now I see why.

Up until now, I was still having pain in my abdomen (and wrist) just from picking up or holding Max.  Dang, those ab muscles are in use when you least expect it.  And having Max lean on my abdomen, even slightly, while breastfeeding was painful.  Each day it got a little less, but it really SUCKS when picking up and holding your baby hurts.

Now I can prop him up on my Boppy pillow and let him lean on me all day long while I gaze into his eyes and see how many smiles I can get out of him.

After my 10k, of course.
