1.) Attention: Everyone wants to see you and the baby. Enjoy being on center stage!

2.) Chores are for other people: You just went through the rigors of childbirth. You’ll be doing housework forever, so enjoy a few days off your feet.

3.) Everyone appreciates you—especially your husband: Men cannot understand what it’s like to give birth, but watching you gives husbands a pretty good idea of the toughness involved. They will have a new respect and appreciation for you and for motherhood.

4.) Everything is new: This is the most unique experience of your life. There’s even a certain wonder to be found in changing diapers (that’ll end soon enough though).

5.) The next stage has begun: Your pregnancy complete, you can begin focusing on the challenges of raising an infant!
