First week at home with baby

I love my baby to death but being sleep deprived and recovering from a c section make it difficult to enjoy my moments with him. I feel bad for saying this because it's not baby's fault. So far my favorite time with him is nursing. He's calm and being nourished by me. The face he makes when he latches off is the most precious thing. I cannot wait to be able to sleep a few hours in a row without interruption. I worry about SIDS and check if he is still breathing constantly. I have my mother in one ear telling me about all the things I'm doing wrong and never any praising about doing something right. I hate to snap off on my mom but I'm at a breaking point and just need to hear words of encouragement.
