I kept the little crocheted hat, wristband, and crib card for each of my girls and made a small shadow box that's on the wall above the tv. It's nice to have stuff out so you can see it and not stuffed in a box until someone moves or dies and it gets drug out.
Do you have a sitz bath? If not, I'd really suggest it, esp if you ended up w/ stitches. I assume you got the same 'no baths' lecture I did, but for some reason they said a sitz bath was ok.. it was really nice for what it was. There's some postpartum ice pack pads DIYs online, but you could just take a small sandwich bag, fill it about 1/3 & freeze it sitting upright, then when it's frozen, take it out of the bag, wrap it up in some paper towels & tape on ends (it should look like a burrito) and put it where you need it. The paper towels should absorb the water as it melts and the ice will help w/ swelling. They gave me those when I was in the hospital w/ my youngest and they were amazing.
We're supposed to hit 90 today for the first time. I'm probably going to buy a bag of ice to toss in the chicken water container.. I wish Loki would break and go outside b/c it's wayyyy to hot for her to be in the coop.
