Impatient

I'm antsy for my physical healing to be quicker. My recovery from the c-section is going well, but I'm restless to get out and do more things, especially with the boys. For most of the summer I haven't been able to do a lot of active things with them and I miss it. I'd like to take them to the pool and the waterpark, I'd like to take a few family bike rides, I'd like to take evening walks to the park- normal summer stuff that I haven't done yet this summer. I feel like the summer is slipping away and I haven't really enjoyed it yet.
In an effort to feel more normal, I went shopping last night. Mel had the boys with him at the healthclub and I could have just stayed home and relaxed, but I decided that my two pair of knit capris and one skirt that fit just weren't cutting it anymore. Reminder to self, don't go shopping three weeks after delivery. I found a few things that were cute, but of course nothing fit. To add to my clothing dilema, I have this nerve pain across my whole abdomen so any clothing that rubs across my belly hurts my skin. Two stores and two trips to the changing room later, I was exhausted and sore and decided to go home empty handed.
