Massy Arias, 28, welcomed her daughter Indira Sarai into the world on February 28

A FITNESS trainer has impressed the web after showing off her rock hard abs just NINE DAYS after giving birth.

Instagram star Massy Arias, 28, welcomed her daughter Indira Sarai into the world on February 28 but just a little over a week later the LA based mum is flaunting a terrifically toned tum.

Massy took to Instagram to share a side-by-side photo of herself heavily pregnant alongside another shot of her showing off fit frame, with little Indira resting on her chest, just nine days postpartum.

Massy, who has more than 2.2 million Instagram followers, explained that she is currently recovering and eating the best she can while adding 600 to 800 extra of calories to her diet to support her milk supply.

She has yet to return to exercising but says that she is eating well by tracking the number of grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fats eats each day.

She wrote: You saw how active I was during my pregnancy and how well I ate.

I had a natural labour with no complications (thank God and to this lifestyle)

I am still practicing what I believe in: food is medicine and I dont deprive myself from any food groups.

I just EAT WHOLE AND EAT WELL.

According to Massy, she keeps her protein intake high to support her muscle and she drinks about a four and a half litre of fluids a day, mostly water.

Using the macro calculator on her program, Massy says that she has been able to maintain her physique without working out.

She added: Its amazing what you can do when you know specifically what to eat.

I do miss movement but first, I have to heal properly.

Thousands of people commented on the post, and with many praising Massy for how she had recovered.

One wrote: Looks like consistent hard work pays off. You look amazing

Another added: This is very impressive. The results of hard work and looking after yourself.

Faced with the need to hire roughly 80 officers to guard the new womens prison, the Department of Corrections is seeking to suspend physical fitness requirements it says have disqualified dozens of applicants.

The Commissioner doesnt see it as a priority for our staff to be able to run a mile and a half during a specified period of time based on their age and gender when they work inside our prisons, said spokesman Jeff Lyons.

Gov. Chris Sununu is supportive, but a union representing corrections officers contends any reduction in standards could jeopardize staff safety.

To think that reducing (standards)is going to somehow fix the problem, it is going to make it worse, said Jeffery Padellaro, with the Teamsters Local 633.

The corrections department has struggled over the last few years to recruit enough people to guard the states three prisons in Berlin, Concord and Goffstown.

Last fiscal year, more prison guards left the job than the department hired, leading to a net loss of 11 corrections officers, Lyons said.

To make up for the staff shortage, prison guards have been forced to work overtime shifts. While employees are prevented from logging more than 16 hours in a row without an eight-hour break, many guards have to work double shifts multiple times a week, Padellaro said. As a result, department overtime spending has skyrocketed in recent years, from $3.3 million in 2009 to $9.1 million in 2015.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununus budget proposal calls for repealingthe requirement that corrections officers pass a nine-week certificationto get hired at a state prison. Sununu supports giving the department direct control over officer standards, said spokesman Dave Abrams.

The department is not seeking the full repeal, but rather a two-year suspension of physical fitness requirements so it can hire guards to work at the new womens prison in Concord, Lyons said.Dozens of job applicants have been found physically fit by a doctor, but havent been able to pass strength or running tests.

The fitness requirements are set by the Police Standards and Training Council, which runs training for law enforcement officers in New Hampshire, including state and local police, Fish and Game and the Department of Corrections.

Women between age 18 and 29 must be able to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes, do 31 sit-ups in a minute and complete 14 push-ups, according to the police standards and training council. Men in that age range must be able to run 1.5 miles in 12:53 minutes, do 37 sit-ups in a minute and complete 27 push-ups. The requirements become more relaxed for older applicants.

Padellaro says the solution isnt suspending standards, but raising pay to attract more competitive applicants. The Teamsters recently declared an impasse in contract negotiations with the governors office because Sununu was unwilling to raise officer salaries, Padellaro said.

The pool of applicants could go to work at the federal prison system for $10,000 to $15,000 more for starting pay, or go right over the border to Massachusetts, he said.

Sununu said in a statement he was surprised anddisappointed by the stalled negotiations. The contract would cover the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years.Its not clear when talks will resume. This fiscal year, which ends in June, the corrections department has hired more workers than its lost for a net gain of 10 people.

Instagram star Madalin Giorgetta posts a lot of selfies of her tight abs and toned legs. And when shes not exercising or snapping photos, the fitness blogger cruises through other bloggers feeds looking at their body shots. But when she realized seeing other peoples perfect photos was negatively impacting her own body image, she decided to show her followers that selfies are not always what they seem. Watch the video above to see the secrets to her transformation!

On February 16, the Perth, Australia, blogger, who works as a social media consultant and marketer, posted the first in a series of side-by-side photos that illustrated how a couple of simple posture and flexing tricks could completely change the way her body appears in a photo.

30 second transformation. I don't look like either in real life, she captioned the two shots. In real life I'm not flexing like on the right and I'm not pushing my hips forwards like in the left. Real life isn't what you see on Instagram peeps. In real life I'm demanding cuddles off my boyfriend, I'm chasing my cat around the house.

After some commenters questioned whether the two images were Photoshopped, the 28-year-old posted a video that demonstrates exactly how she moved her hips and flexed her legs to transform the appearance of her body.

No, it's called the human body and it moves in and out because I'm not a statue, she wrote with the video, which has gotten more than 293,000 views since she posted it March 2.

The blogger told Us Weekly that she decided to share the secrets with her 213,000 followers on Instagram so that they realize she doesnt always look perfect in real life.

I was starting to develop a really unhealthy body image based on all the Instagram pictures that I was seeing on my feed of other womens bodies, and then I started to realize that maybe my followers felt bad about their bodies based on seeing my pictures, and that is the last thing that I want, she tellsUs. We use filters and lighting and this is not real life, so I wanted to show that on my Instagram feed.

Giorgetta says shes received pretty positive response so far. I think this is important for women to see, she tells Us. I hope that it makes them feel a little more normal and maybe happier with their bodies.

In January, a quaint little caf with a picturesque inlet frontage opened its doors to the public for the first time in months and, once again, both meatheads and masseuses alike were once again free to get their caffeine fix.

Collegetown Bagels, the venerable local eatery, opened a new location in a former caf within the Island Health and Fitness facility last month filling a gap that, since the building opened, was always home to an eatery.

The spot, which features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the inlet and a (usually) sun-lit patio used to be home to The Inlet Island Caf, a small but well-liked eatery specializing in protein-infused smoothies, made from scratch soups and some of the best chocolate chip cookies youll ever have.

However, that shop shut down last year and, for eight months, stayed vacant, with all the equipment still in place. Already touting an established brand, Collegetown Bagels slapped their branding on it, cycled in their staff and opened CTB: Fresh. The caf had its soft opening in late January and since, has already meshed into the daily lives of those working and relaxing in 310 Taughannock Boulevard, from medical professionals with Cayuga Medical Center looking for a quick lunch to those taking some time off at Rasa Spa, all the way to those working out at Island Fitness, looking for some post-workout sustenance.

People seem very happy were here, said Katie Warren, who serves as both General Manager of the Island Health and Fitness location as well as CTBs downtown shop on Aurora Street. I think there was a reasonable demand within the building to have something to fill the space.

While the menu stays fairly true to that of Collegetown Bagels other locations, the menu at their new Island Fitness location attempts to create some distinctions between them and their standalone establishments. The menu is less ambitious, featuring 10 of their most popular and healthier sandwiches as compared to the extensive offerings of their Aurora Street and College Ave locations. The caf also touts a select offering of grab and go type fare from sandwiches and salads to guacamole and hummus. However, they have managed to set themselves apart with an array of specialty CTB bowls, and their signature offerings of bagels, coffees and teas as well a smoothie selection (the menu of which is unique to this location) and, in something of a departure from the chains sister locations, four freshly-squeezed fruit juices.

That was a new adventure, said Warren.

Open seven days a week, the place is generally open during waking hours but management is still trying to get a feel for the demands of its clientele and has nothing set in stone yet.

Were trying to be flexible to our clientele as possible, said Warren.

CASTRO VALLEY As a young man, Chris LaLanne spent days exercising and working out with Bay Area fitness guru Francois Jack LaLanne, during visits to the Morro Bay home.

He would get up at 4 a.m. when I would visit and spend the weekend with them, and I remember getting up bright and early, Chris LaLanne, 40, said in atelephone interview.

I was just very impressed by his discipline and energy that was relentless every day, even into his 80s and 90s, LaLanne said.

Chris LaLanne and his wife, Maribel, plan to keep the LaLanne familys legacy active in their Castro Valley community by openinga new fitness and training center this summer near the BART station by the end of this spring.

His grand-uncles determination ultimately inspired Chris LaLanne to study exercise science atSan Diego State University and earn a bachelors degree in kinesiology then become a personal trainer before he and his wife opened their first gym,LaLanne Fitness CrossFit, in San Franciscos Dogpatch district in 2008.

In his own right, Jack LaLanne, sometimes known as The Godfather of Fitness, opened one of the nations first fitness gyms in 1936 in Oakland at 21 years old. He later invented a number of exercise machines, wrote books on fitness and hosted his eponymous fitness television program, The Jack LaLanne Show, from 1953 to 1985.

I was always impressed by how committed he (Jack) was to making exercise a part of his routine, Chris LaLanne said.

Every day, it involved getting up, brushing your teeth and exercising; theres no other way that he knew, he said.

The Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council, at its Feb. 27 meeting, unanimously approvedthe couples plans to operate a 3,300-square-foot indoor gym at 20948 Redwood Road.

The new gym, called LaLanne Bootcamp, will center around a new fitness program developed by the couple that is different than the CrossFit regimen at their San Francisco site.

Its a high-intensity interval training program that includes a lot of functional movements that youll find in various cross-training programs, Chris LaLanne

Its different from CrossFit in that its more accessible, so youre not going to have advanced weightlifting with barbells, and youre not going to have gymnastics or advanced gymnastics like you do in CrossFit.

This is a far more entry-level program for those folks who maybe dont have much exercise experience and would like to participate in a more strength endurance-oriented program, he said.

The proposed Castro Valley gym would employ six people, including four fitness coaches, and be open seven days a week, with seven classes held on weekdays and four on weekends.

My wife and I developed a program after almost nine years of functional training, specifically CrossFit, so we have years and years of experience,Chris LaLanne said.

Weve developed a program and narrowed down the actual product, class and fitness experience based on many years of working with folks from various fitness and skill levels, he said.

The ultimate goal, he said, is to open up more LaLanne Bootcamp locations throughout the Bay Area. But first the couple wanted to start off in the community where they live with their two children, Jackson, 6, and Shayla, 3.

We had, for many years, folks request that we open a facility in Castro Valley, but this concept is something that weve been working on for a while, Chris LaLanne said.

Of course, itll have more of a family feel because we are members of the community. We live here and know theres a lot of other families, just like my wife and I, with children, and theyd also like to exercise and do something that is convenient, close by and they can make part of their lifestyle, he said.

Owen Farrell did not train properly on Friday but did take part in some technique-based kicking practice. Photograph: Justin Tallis/AFP/Getty Images

England will take a decision on the fitness of Owen Farrell on Saturday morning before Englands 4pm Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland at Twickenham.

Farrell missed the eve-of-match captains run because of an unspecified leg injury incurred during training on Thursday and will be given the next 24 hours to demonstrate he is ready for the Triple Crown decider.

Owen didnt train today and were monitoring his leg injury, said the defence coach, Paul Gustard. We have until tomorrow before kick-off to make a decision, which means he has at least another 24 hours of recovery ahead of him. Well make a call as and when we know more.

England have decided against calling in anyone as cover, instead relying on the 24 players retained for the penultimate round of the Six Nations.

The most likely contingency would see Ben Teo promoted from the bench to fill the void at inside centre and Jonny May, who is currently acting as 24th man, stepping on to the replacements bench.

However, if fly-half George Ford were to be struck by injury, the lack of cover in the position would leave England exposed. Were not bringing anyone in. Were obviously very happy with Ben in the squad. We have Jonny May with us at the moment as 24th man, so we have some flexibility as cover, Gustard said. Were really confident [with our options if Farrell misses out]. Were very happy with the squad that weve got and the 24 that we chose for this game. Whatever combination we end up with at 10, 12, 13, were happy.

Concern over Farrells fitness has escalated since Eddie Jones gave conflicting answers on Thursday about his availability to face Scotland. Jones joked that the Saracens playmaker initially sustained the injury the details of which England will not divulge during a collision with his dog Annie during the final training session of the week at the squads Surrey base.

When asked for an update on Farrell, a spiky Jones offered contrary messages. Owen could be a doubt, he could be a doubt. Hes got a bad leg, so he couldnt finish training. Hell be all right, Jones said.

Farrell was expected to be given the green light, but his inability to take part in the session at Twickenham on Friday has set alarm bells ringing.

Alongside Ford and Mike Brown, Farrell was involved in kicking practice overseen by Jonny Wilkinson but would only rehearse technique rather than actually putting boot to ball.

England are sure to give Farrell, who has emerged as their most important player under Jones, every opportunity to demonstrate his fitness for a match that could deliver a record-equalling 18th successive Test victory. Only New Zealand have previously amassed that number of wins, setting the milestone last year.

England are the Six Nations solitary unbeaten team, keeping them on course for a successful defence of the Grand Slam, and they could also retain their title if Scotland are toppled, yet they have not played to their potential so far in the tournament.

Weve done a lot of good stuff. In the last two weeks, not to sound too much like a broken record, but weve focused on ourselves a lot. Were looking to improve, Gustard said. We have objectives that were looking for and I think were in a good place. The mood is exceptional.

The boys are in a good place, theyre happy and excited to play for their country. Everyone is looking forward to playing Scotland.

Scotland have got some good players, but then every team does. Were trying to focus on our own principles and philosophies.

This Gym Makes You Take an Insane Fitness Challenge Before You Can Wear Their T-Shirt - Men's Health

On February 15, 2014, Richard Simmons was scheduled to teach an aerobics class at his gym, Slimmons, in Beverly Hills, California, but he never showed up.

It's now been over three years since the 68-year-old fitness guru has been seen, and while ET spoke to him last March over the phone, he's rarely been heard from since retreating from the public eye.

Earlier this year, former Daily Show producer Dan Taberski, who considers himself a friend of Simmons, started the weekly podcast Missing Richard Simmons to investigate the whereabouts of the Sweatin' to the Oldies star. Each week, Taberski interviews an array of people who knew Simmons -- from a Hollywood homes tour guide to Simmons' purported "second mother" to his own brother -- in hopes of speaking with the once-outgoing celebrity and thus getting a better understanding as to why he stepped out of the spotlight in the first place.

In the second episode, Taberski even goes to Simmons' home -- which is now surrounded by a gate and has no intercom for visitors -- and chats with his longtime housekeeper, Theresa Reveles, who lives in Simmons' Hollywood hills home and is said to be his closest confidant.

WATCH:Richard Simmons' Rep Shoots Down Latest 'Hostage' Rumors as Podcast Dives Into His Absence From the Public

Following the release of the podcast's third episode, Simmons' rep assured ET that he was residing comfortably at his home. Meanwhile, some of Simmons' friends and fans continue to speculate over his departure from the public eye.

One of Simmons' last interviews was with Jason and Randy Sklar on their podcast, Sklarbro Country, and it was here that he revealed that he had not been to someone's house in seven years. "I don't hang out with people," Simmons admitted. "I live a very recluse life. This is, like, the most hanging out I've done, like, four people in a room."

"I teach my class, I kiss everybody, I take hundreds of photos and I go home," he added. "I socialize with no one."

"As soon as the microphones were off, we were like, 'This is a sad person,'" the Sklar brothers recalled to Taberski. "That struggle is so real."

Here's a look at a few of the theories posed on Missing Richard Simmons, and what ET has been told about the whereabouts and well-being of the fitness mogul:

Theory No. 1: The Bum Knee

On the February day that Simmons was absent from class, a sign was posted on the door that informed customers that he was getting physical therapy for a knee problem and would not be teaching for the remainder of the month and on into March. As Taberski points out, this wasn't the first time Simmons had knee problems, as he was often sitting down while instructing his classes.

One of the regulars at Slimmons -- which closed inNovember-- notes in episode two of the podcast that Simmons not being able to instruct a class anymore would have been "devastating to him."

Simmons also told ET last March, "I had a knee injury, so I had a knee replacement, which was very difficult for me."

Theory No. 2: The Dog Dies

Others that know Simmons speculate that it was the death of his Dalmatian, Hattie, that may have driven him into a reclusive state. At one point, he had at least eight dogs and Hattie was the last one to die. Around the time that he stopped teaching at Slimmons, Taberski received an email from Simmons notifying him of Hattie's death. "It's very hard for me right now," the email read. "See you soon."

"That's HUGE for him," one of Simmons' good friends and collaborators exclaims of the dog's death on the podcast. "Especially if you're down to one [dog] and you're in your house all the time, that's big."

Theory No. 3: The Housekeeper Is in Charge

This is perhaps the most controversial theory posed, and the one that has received the most media attention. In episode three of the podcast, Simmons' former friend and masseur, Mauro Oliveira, alleges that when he last visited Simmons in May 2014, his housekeeper made him leave the premises.

Oliveira goes on to insinuate that Reveles is holding Simmons hostage in his own home.

During a phone interview with ET last March, Simmons denied these claims. "I am not kidnapped," he said flat out. "I am just in my house right now. ...The people that surround me are wonderful people who take great care of me."

After the podcast episode aired, Simmons' rep, Tom Estey, also vehemently refuted Oliveira's accusations, calling them "a load of crap."

Theresa has been working with him for, since Ive been working with him [27 years]," Estey told People. "So, holding him hostage is the biggest, I mean Theresa is the housekeeper, shes the caretaker, she is extraordinary, she is amazing, she takes impeccable care of Richard and she has for as long as I have been working with Richard."

When ET spoke with one of Simmons' neighbors about Oliveira's recent claims, he too had kind things to say about Reveles. "She's the loveliest. She's the person between all the bulls**t and him [Richard]," the neighbor explained. "She takes all the heat. People make stuff up."

Theory No. 4: He Just Wants to Be Left Alone

Richard made a choice. To live a more private life," Estey also told People. "If he decides to come back, hell come back."

"People claim that it happened overnight. It really didnt," he continued. "We were turning down stuff for years and just kind of quieting down, and when he decides that he wants to come back, thats when hell come back, and when that will be, I have no idea or if he will at all. There really isnt anything to report."

In the second episode of the podcast, Willam Belli, a longtime attendee at Slimmons, had a similar sentiment about his friend's disappearance. "He might have been done and he doesn't owe s**t to anybody," Belli exclaims. "He pulled back that curtain a little bit, and gave people that personal interaction and now they feel a loss."

He adds, "Sorry, girl, bye. That's what he did. He did a, 'Bye, girl, bye.'"

When ET spoke with Simmons' neighbor, he agreed with Belli and Estey. "He wants to be left alone. He's been in the public eye for 30 years," the neighbor noted. "Why don't people just leave him alone? I don't understand. He just put a new roof on his house, they painted it. He's always into his home looking beautiful."

"He sees his brother, his employees, he sees his attorney, he sees his business manager," the neighbor went on to tell ET. "They all come and go. I just don't know why people don't leave him alone."

WATCH:Richard Simmons Thanks Fans for 'Overwhelming' Support After Clarifying He Has Not Been 'Kidnapped' While there appears to be differing opinions as to whether Simmons completely closing himself off to the public is best, it's clear that he's had a huge impact on those that have known him and followed his career -- regardless of what they may think of his disappearance from the limelight.

"I love all the people who worry about me," Simmons told ET during our interview last March. "But it was time for me to take some time to be by myself. ...I have really just been taking it easy, staying at home, working out in my gym and doing the things I haven't done in a very long time."

Here's more on what Simmons told ET after announcing the closing of Slimmonslast year:

The Exceptional Foundation of East Alabama is on its way to providing daily social and recreational activities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The organization announced this week that it will open its doors at HealthPlus Fitness Center in September with Dana Stewart as its first executive director of programs.

After hearing about the organization, the East Alabama Medical Center reached out to the board and offered them the unfinished basement of HealthPlus, a fitness center owned by the hospital.

Hospital staff then traveled to The Exceptional Foundation in Birmingham, the parent organization of the east Alabama branch, and came back with ideas of how to outfit the basement for the organizations use, said foundation board member Penny Foster.

The hospital will finish the basement and offer the organizations members access to all amenities, including the track, pool and workout rooms.

A large part of the organization's programming will include fitness, Foster said, adding that obesity rates are often higher for those with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Access to HealthPlus's facilities will make it easier for the organization to offer an array of ways to get participants moving.

The more variety of fitness that we can stick in there -- that they dont realize theyre actually exercising, but theyre just having fun -- the better it is for us, Foster said.

The location will also place those in the organization around community members who exercise at HealthPlus, allowing them to be part of the community rather than isolated in a separate building away from others, Foster said.

Executive Director

After more than 15 years of working in therapeutic programs, Stewart is entering the position with passion and plenty of experience to spearhead the organizations efforts.

Stewart began working with the therapeutic population in the Auburn City School system, but had always volunteered with the Special Olympics. In 2008 she began working for Auburns Parks and Recreation Department as director of the annual Therapeutic Summer Day Camp for teens and adults. A few years later she became a special programs coordinator and director of the Lee County Special Olympics.

With a background in nursing, Stewart said she always knew she would be a caregiver in some way. Once she began working with the therapeutic community, she just knew thats where (she) was called to serve and work.

Foster, who has known Dana for years, added that Stewart always looks out for the best interest of those with whom she works.

She is such a hard worker that she just works nonstop to make things better for our kids and our families, Foster said.

Though she is sad to leave some of her duties with parks and recreation, Stewart said she is looking forward to devoting her full attention to adults who have aged out of the school system.

My hope is just for everyone in the community to know that this is not an adult daycare, Stewart said, adding that they will follow a curriculum and be involved in various activities like serving at the food bank or nursing homes. There are never enough programs for this particular population. We all wake up every day with a purpose; this population needs to wake up every day with a purpose also.

Applications for participants will be available in April. For more information and to find out how to apply in April, follow the organization at http://www.facebook.com/TEFofEAL.

Although it can take some women years to recover their pre-pregnancy bodies, and some find that they never quite "snap back," Instagram fitness star and certified trainer Massy Arias is not one of those women. She recently Instagramed a photo of herself 40 weeks pregnant next to one taken nine days after giving birth. If Massy's newborn baby weren't in the photo, you'd never guess that the trainer gave birth less than two weeks ago:

"This post isn't intended to set any expectations or to be negative. We all have different journeys," Massy wrote in her caption, which also explains exactly how she transformed her figure in just nine days without stepping foot in the gym. (She is still recovering from natural childbirth, after all.) "I just eat whole and eat well," Massy wrote.

For her, "eating well" means counting macros (aka eating the right mix of protein, carbs, and fats for your body type and goals) and depriving herself of absolutely nothing. "It's amazing what you can do when you know specifically what to eat," she says.

She also drinks lots of fluids about a gallon a day made up of mostly water and eats an extra 600 to 800 calories per day to support her milk supply, now that she's breastfeeding. (FWIW, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say most breastfeeding women need just 450 to 500 extra calories per day.)

Understandably, Massy's fans can't quite wrap their heads around her lightening-fast transformation, although they generally applaud her. "You earned every inch of that amazing post baby body!" one commented on her post. See, Massy worked out right through her pregnancy like the mom boss she is, lifting heavy and doing high-intensity interval training plus yoga and a bit of her signature dancing, as she does at the end of most of her fitness videos.

Despite the fact that the trainer has been transparent about her fitness-focused lifestyle throughout her entire pregnancy, haters gonna hate: "Awesome liposuction suction [sic] after 9 days boo great surgeon," one person commented on Massy's postnatal post. But a loyal fan came to Massy's rescue, chiming in with a simple clap back: "You know how fit she was and is. Shame on you," the commenter wrote.

Luckily, Massy never lets petty shit get her down, and isn't about to start, particularly now that she's got more important things to worry about and celebrate!

Like a breath of fresh air who do you think she looks like? Update: been really in a limbo trying to figure this out. Waking up every two hrs to breastfeed or may I say, syringe feed until I can recover from the bad latching. They don't prepare you for how hard it is to breastfeed but I'm getting the hang of it. I though a natural water birth was going to be a challenge, but this is the most emotionally and physical "workout" I've ever done thus far... I had a back labor and managed to push her out in 20 mins. I will not lie if I said it didn't hurt but I would do it again. I had an awesome doula and midwife team. I must say @willy_beamen was a big part of coping with labor (I am so blessed to have such a great husband, he's so awesome). I will post a postpartum pic to show you guys. Anyway, I just need a few more days...oh yes I do! HAPPY SUNDAY MY LOVES ____________________________________________________________ Como un soplo de aire fresco a quin crees que se parece? : He estado realmente en un limbo tratando de navegar este nuevo cambio en mi vida. Despertar cada dos horas para amamantar y usando una jeringa hasta recuperarme de dar el seno. No te preparan para lo difcil que es amamantar, pero estoy aprendiendo y mejorando cada da. Pensaba que dar a luz natural iba a ser un reto, pero este "entrenamiento" ha sido el ms emocional y fsico que he hecho hasta el momento ... llegue a mi partera con 8cm dilatada y logre empujarla en 20 minutos. No voy a mentir si les digo que no doli, pero yo lo hara de nuevo. Tuve un equipo impresionante de parteras y Doula. Debo decir @willy_beamen fue una gran parte de hacer frente al dolor de parto ( soy muy dichosa de tener un gran marido, l es tan impresionante). Voy a publicar una foto postparto para mostrarles que tal va todo. De todos modos, slo necesito unos das ms ... oh s...unos das donde pueda dormir! Feliz domingo mis amores ________________________________________
