Laurie,

Its hard to believe the time is almost here! I'm so happy for you and your hubby.

Both my boys were by c-section. Got along great. One other piece of advice--have some "large" cotton "granny" panties on hand. My ob-gyn wanted me to wear loose all cotton panties until my incision healed. My maternity panties were not all cotton, so I had to send my husband to Walmart to buy some for me. He was having a hard time finding the right size, when a sales clerk asked if he needed help. He told her what he needed and why, then asked if a size 12 would be OK since he couldn't find a size 9. She wisely told him, if I said 9--he better find a 9. I might not be too pleased with a 12!

Best Wishes!
