ANASTASIA

"Cow pose..." I took a deep breath and arched my back downward. I closed my eyes and stayed in the position for half a minute. I released a long breath as I returned to the normal position. "Cat pose..." I murmured as I inhaled and arched my back upward. I held the position for a few seconds and ended it. Somehow, it was one of the exercises that pulled at my incisions. Panting, I crawled to the bed where I placed the notepad where Dennis jotted down the list of exercises that the doctor had prescribed.

"Nope, nu-uh," I shook my head when I saw what was next on the list.

Pelvic tilt.

The exercise I dreaded the most. Sometimes whenever Dennis was home, he'd convince me to do it and help me get in the position. And that was even once in a while.

I skipped it and went to the next exercises.

Stretches. My favorites.

I sat, back straight, on the chair to do the stretches that required me sitting.

I smiled as I reclined in the seat and rolled my ankle. Ankle rolls were my favorite. It requires no stress at all. I even once fell asleep while doing it. It was that effortless. For me, anyway.

I rolled my neck after I finished my stretches.

After I was done, I removed my workout clothes and headed to the bathroom.

For the intense workout I just had, I rewarded myself with a long soothing bath.

I took my time to pick out the comfiest clothes I owned. Well... the comfiest clothes that Dennis owned.

There was something super special about his sleeveless shirts and boxer shorts; that special thing made them very comfortable.

After I was done, I plonked on the bed and grabbed my phone and laptop. I first had a thirty minute call with the NICU center. I saw my baby and I was told how he was doing. Then I got a little bit of lectures on some things that I should take note of when I eventually bring him home.

When the call ended, I settled down to watch a movie.
