Thanks HP. I am always ready by about 4 weeks. The key is that H worries about hurting me. I think that he finally stepped up to the plate about 2 weeks after the doctor gave the go ahead.

Tonight I am feeling abandoned. The stupid thing is that I am feeling abandoned because H is working late to make money to support OUR family so that I can take a decent maternity leave and not dump a newborn in daycare before we are ready. Perhpas these are the postpartum weepies coming on - haven't had them yet.
