what i can do now

just 9 short days ago, i was pregnant. very pregnant. and it was rough. i think that, coupled with having a short labor, has made this early postpartum time really good. i feel great. here are a few things i can do now that i could not do 9 days ago:

• pick something up off the ground
• walk down the steps in less than 3 minutes (even while carrying an infant seat)
• get in and out of bed all by myself
• lay on my back
• walk without gritting my teeth
• dance with caleb
• kiss alia's beautiful face
