JoKat- good point.... I hope that I wasn't misunderstood about exercise. What I do is something that my doc, PT, and myself worked on 2-3 times a week for about 2 months in the last 10 months. Even then, if something doesn't "feel" right, they told me to stop that and let them know.

And you're right- having kids (or ONE kid) is stressful. My daughter is wonderful, but she is a handful. When she is awake, if she's not eating, she's crawling all over the place playing with toys, or crawling over mommy and daddy. For me, its the picking her up all the time that kills- I can't seem to find a good way to do that. 25 squirming pounds is tough to control with one arm!

hope all are having a good day!
