Shawn returned to work yesterday after 6 blissful weeks of togetherness. It was rough; don't ask for details. Our time as a new family unit had a beautiful start and lots of memories were made.
Today the baby is 6 weeks old and that blows my mind. I feel like I was just pregnant with her and now I'm already having my postpartum checkup. Everything checked out OK and I'm ready to continue yoga and running, among other things. I feel much more normal and "myself" physically, too. The post-delivery bleeding stopped about 10 days ago, my belly is much less squishy, and my linea negra is fading, fading, fading. I wonder how long it will take until it is completely gone. I'm only 10-15 pounds above pre-pregnancy weight and about one pant-size larger than my regular, comfortable pants. I'm coming along but I need to be patient and kind to myself; this new body has served me very well and has done a miraculous thing.
Baby is doing great at 6 weeks, weighing 10lb 10oz. She almost fills out 3 month clothing! We're really enjoying watching her grow. We love her so much!!!
Stumble it!

I can't believe Bernice is already six weeks old! I'm so glad things are going well for your beautiful family.
So exciting she's already so big! I want to see more pics! That must be hard with Shawn going back to work. And you're right...be patient with your body. It sounds like you've bounced back incredibly so far.
