More mothering from here...please be sure not to lift the baby yourself. Let someone hand him to you and be very careful while you hold him. Just as with driving, any sudden movement, a natural lifting up to soothe, etc. would not be good for your incision.

Let's see, you've been home since Jan. 18th. Today is the 30th, so it's been a whole 12 days, not even two full weeks...you might want to slow down a bit, darlin'..for what you've been through 12 days is not a lot of recovery time for MAJOR surgery and to get the anaesthesia out. (That stuff can settle in your muscles for months.) IMO, no church tonight. Even seeing the babe is questionable.

Feel free to tell us if you get tired of the mothering.:-)
