Congratulations @joelly!!!!!! Samantha is gorgeous! I love her name. It was one I considered for my babies, which turned out to be boys. I was disappointed because I loved the name. She is just such a beauty!!!!
I hope your recovery is progressing. It takes a while but it gets better. Just don't try to push too hard. This is the one time in your life that you can say 'no, I can't do that' to everyone and with a darn good reason. Put yourself first and let as much go as you can. Don't try to stand all day. That will make you hurt. Get a good compression garment for the next few weeks-not right away. They help. Blessings to you and I hope you enjoy these sweet early days with your precious daughter!
