My husband went back to work today so first day at home on my own with the little one. Let me just say that I give major credit to those moms who are on their own after a week or a short time!! I got used to my husband assisting me and this is hard haha!  I also can't imagine when your recovery being on your own within the first month, I developed major hemorrhoids, bad thrush, and multiple times had clogged ducts :-/ and having to take care of yourself with a little one you want to hold and needs to be held is tough!
