2 days post partum - recovery and pictures

I had our little girl on Friday afternoon, here is her birth story:

I always enjoyed reading about people's easy recovery and looking at post partum pictures, so here is mine:

I have recovered extremely well, we were sent home less than 24 hours after I gave birth. I never even took the Ibuprofen they gave me as I was not in any pain. I am able to move around easily and feel almost completely normal after just two days. Much easier than I expected! I also lost the weight I gained during pregnancy (12 pounds) when giving birth.

Here a before and after pictures (39w4d and a week later, 2 days post partum)

Wow!! Just, WOW!! You are the poster child for the ideal pregnancy! Definitely an endorsement for fitness during pregnancy. 

Congratulations!

You all look great!  That's very encouraging to hear that your recovery is going well even after an epidural.  I have heard an epidural can make recovery harder, so this is good news

You look great and your LO is adorable! It's definitely encouraging me not to give up so quickly on the running the next time around (it's a little too late for me this time around )
