“This is 2 months postpartum for me. I'm so incredibly grateful to have a husband that will watch our son for 13 hours so I can take a day trip to Seneca. I feel so lucky that I'm healing well enough to spend a day climbing with @co.ll.ee.n, one of the most badass women I know. Were there some new logistics to consider as a breastfeeding mom? You know it! But we figured it out and made it happen. I built up a small stash for Eli in the days leading up to our trip. I pumped while belaying Colleen on the easier pitches so that I could focus when she worked her onsight attempt of Bee Sting Corner. I managed to get 8 ounces while we climbed and stored it safely in a precooled thermos so it was ready to freeze when we got home. All in all, I'd say the day was a success! I struggle with my new body. I am constantly telling myself to be patient, that I made a whole human, that my body has been through a lot. Every day I'm getting just a little bit of my strength back. I don't know if I would have been confident enough to take on a day like this if it hadn't been for @chris9596 support. I'm so glad I did. I love that we live in a time where women like @bethrodden are honest about their postpartum journeys, and that there are companies making products to support active moms like @haakaausa and @kindredbravely. I'm grateful to have been able to workout my entire pregnancy @sportrock and to rehab there now. I know how lucky I am to be able to take this time off of work to be with Eli and to heal. So yeah, 2 months into this whole new mom life and I'm just feeling grateful that I get to do it this way.” Thanks @beyondawn for sharing this beautiful story! It’s great that you were able to receive all the support you needed and had this wonderful “me” time. We know how beneficial that is for postpartum mental health. 💕 . .
