Riley is easy. It’s like I’m working from home! But for me, physically, it’s been very painful. During the birth I tore in three places, two near my vagina and one perineal, and some of my stitches ripped this weekend, so I had to go to the doctor to get that addressed.We’re so happy to be home. But we’re mourning the fact we didn’t have the expected coming-home experience. There was no being wheeled out with a baby in your arms.
