Coming home with our newborn wasn't quite the peaceful beginning I imagined. I was still recovering from my C-section, dealing with blood pressure problems, and learning how to adjust to life as a new family.

After four days in the hospital, I was ready to go home. But walking through my front door with my newborn didn't immediately make everything feel normal again.

The days after my C-section were a mix of recovery, learning to care for my newborn, figuring out breastfeeding, and trying to get comfortable enough to finally go home.

After my C-section, I was still recovering, foggy, nauseated, and unable to feel my legs. I was also learning how to care for my tiny newborn while trying to figure out what came next.
