6 months postpartum

For those of you that are interested Junior is doing wonderfully, he is such a happy healthy baby! He has found that he can roll anywhere he wants to go and has recently started making regular (aka constant) attempts at crawling but can’t quite get his torso in the air. Part of me is glad he isn’t overly mobile yet but I know that will change soon.

Specific to CP

In the last couple of months my body has made great improvement. None of my joints have given out recently and can carry my large son around the house with confidence. That being said though, I do experience intense pain by the end of the day throughout my legs—I consider this a significant improvement, though.

I don’t think that there is much more to update you on, I’m very pleased with my physical progress. I have started going on walks again a couple times a week with my husband and the baby, I am not able to go as far as I did while I was in early pregnancy but I think that is simply because I was less spastic then. (A very nice perk to pregnancy)

The first few months after giving birth things were so hard that I felt some doubt that I would every fully recover physically but now I have great hope that given some more time things will become easier again. I am really looking forward to the future.
