My mom came while I was in the hospital, but left the day I came home. It was nice to have my hubby home for the next 6 weeks so he could give my 2-year-old son plenty of attention. when I had my 3rd baby last year, my mom and dad were able to come and stay for a while, but even though they are close enough, my mom can't take too much vacation time from work so they were just here for while I was in the hospital. I was super scared about having number 3 just before midterms of hubby's final semester, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought. I do have to say, though, labor, delivery, and recovery from the 2nd and later babies are MUCH easier than the first! your body has been through it and has stretched and knows how to react a little better. with my first I had to get stitches, but with 2 and 3 I didn't and was out and about within days. it was almost hard to rest because I felt fine! I'm sure it will be easier than you expect, good luck!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772418164224551877.post-4172992030053613722011-04-04T19:32:05.757-06:002011-04-04T19:32:05.757-06:00Oh Maryanne, my heart is just breaking for you rig...Oh Maryanne, my heart is just breaking for you right now! I am so sorry that your family is so far away, I know how tough that is. It's so hard to deal with everything and manage a child and newborn but I know somehow you will find the strength, even if you are feeling overwhelmed right now. I know no matter what, it's always good to have Mom nearby and make things better. I wish I lived closer and could come help you!
