2+ Moms- Recovery and LO#1

mcdmaw

I am looking for some tips or advice to help with those first few weeks after my C-section.  I believe I will have some one with me for the first two weeks.  I am trying really hard to arrange that at least... 

During this time, DD (LO#1) will be going to daycare.  My husband works out of town which means his shifts fall that he can either drop off DD or pick her up but not both.  Getting her to DC mean lifting her into the carseat and carrying her inside (its snowy).  My incision re-opened last time so I am trying to avoid that if at all possible. 

So, best-case scenario, do you think lifting a 27 pound toddler will be possible 3 weeks out?  Anyone with a similar experience? Tips?
