I finally got the birth story written - if you want to read it, it is here.
I have had some ups and downs, but over all I feel great! I've lost almost 20 lbs, which is great, since I was down just one measly pound when I got home from the hospital. I am also on a sugar streak, so the weight loss may be stagnant for awhile.
This post partum recovery has been 100% easier than it was with Isla. I feel so energetic and healthy and I have a lot less pain. I think a large part of that has to do with being off of the Sotalol. It also helps that I didn't get food poisoning 2 weeks postpartum this time!
I actually understand why doctors tell women to take it easy after giving birth - last time I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to exercise within months of having a baby. Today I walked Isla and Isaac to the store. It was the first real exercise I've had since I went into the hospital and it felt great. Hopefully I'll be back in yoga soon!

Well it sounds like the heart meds made you super low energy (because your heart rate was so low, duh!) so maybe normal feels AMAZING now! :)
And you got food poisoning 2 weeks postpartum last time?? Holy moly, that's AWFUL! It sounds like you've just set yourself up to have a better recovery this time around, nicely done! ;)
