aside from tired, that is.  i'm sure we're all feeling our fair share of the effects of sleepless nights.

now that asher is 6 weeks old, i'm healing pretty well.  i feel like the episiotomy is pretty well healed.  my tailbone bruised during delivery and that's getting better but i still have a ways to go there.  i can at least sit normally now (progress!)  but it's still quite sore some days.  unfortunately, this is just something that requires plenty of time to heal. 

i dug out the regular clothes last week and can fit into them, but they definitely don't look the same on me!  i'm not at all used to having a belly, and i still have some jelly belly going on!  i can't wait until that goes back to normal!  i'm only about 6lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight (pretty sure this is mostly in by boobs as i'm currently sporting 34Fs... yikes!!).  i got some new, loose-fitting shirts to replace the fitted ones i normally wear.  i know these things take time (especially for a 35 year old body!) but i'm getting impatient.  got the go-ahead from the doctor to start exercising, so hopefully i'll find a program that works for me.

overall, i'm feeling great.  tired, but i'm in love with my little guy and with being a mommy!
