It can be an adjustment, certainly. I remember being in tears my first night home with Eldest Son. It was overwhelming - being responsible (me?) for this little person, breastfeeding, being hormonal, and on and on.
I've seen many, many bellies post-delivery and it seems we sacrifice our abdominal tone to bring these little ones into the world! ;-) On the grand scale of things important in the world, one day it won't be a really big deal. But don't judge your two week post-delivery belly as reality quite yet!
And isn't it amazing how much these non-verbal people can communicate to us?
One thing that you might enjoy is finding a local moms and babies type of support group to find others who are in the same place you are. Your hospital might sponsor one (ours does) and friendships can be formed and that can be such a big help.
