For me there was about a week that I would cry at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I didn't even know what set it off. Just prepare your hubby for the possibility that you may be pretty emotional and to just let you cry. My poor hubby just kept trying to make things better and all I would do is cry even more. *L* I just kept letting him know it wasn't him, that nothing was really wrong but I just felt the need to cry.
Also my hubby just pretty much took over the food prep, helping kids with homework and kept the house in some kind of order. It was really nice not to have to worry about anyone but myself. Another thing my hubby did that I really appreciated is he took a week off from his job to be with me. He even would go out on my little walks with me which I really appreciated because that first week I felt pretty wiped out and I was a little worried about wandering too far from home and getting too tired to get back. *L* I did do that on more than one occasion and hubby would come looking for me. *L*
