Back on the mat after endo surgery

I just got back on the mat and if felt AMAZING. I know Instagram photos may seem to tell a different story, but these last few months, (I guess year, actually), have been super challenging for myself and my family.

My close friends, and even not so close friends, know I am pretty open about my struggles to get pregnant.
