Hi all!

Sophie, my firstborn daughter, was born on Jan 16 and I'm totally in love. I'm also totally recovering from some significant stitching adventures courtesy of my fabulous OB/GYN after some as-bad-as-it-gets second degree perineal tearing. (Sorry to be so graphic, folks!) Kegels only started to feel normal again, and long walks are still something I haven't felt up to, both from some fatigue "down there" after very long bouts of standing or picking up the babe frequently whilst standing... I lost a lot of blood in the process and am only starting to feel like myself again in that regard. And I'm dying to get on the bike.

Anyone else have a story like this? How long before you ventured on the bike, and when did it feel "normal" again (if at all)? I'm a tri mama, and while I know this season is going to be light if populated at all by any events, I'd like to hear how this all panned out for the other mamas out there.

Be well, keep pedaling!
