6 Weeks Postpartum

It's six weeks postpartum, and things still aren't back to normal for me physically.  I'm still a little achy, moving slower than usual, and have no desire to even attempt strenuous activity.  I never expected it to be such a recovery process, as if I had been through major surgery.  The midwife tells me things are healing well, but slowly and we're not 'cleared' for another two weeks, if you know what I mean.  ;-)
