After five days in the hospital, Claudia Ross had recovered well and was discharged with her baby, so Ana no longer had to visit the hospital every day.
Autumn was neither too hot nor too cold, perfect for postpartum confinement. Claudia Ross looked through the second-floor window at the vibrant garden where roses and peonies were blooming, competing for attention, attracting bees and butterflies dancing around them.
Claudia Ross longed to go out for a walk, but she remembered Mom Perry's advice that going outside and catching a breeze was a big no-no; good postpartum recovery was crucial for future health.
She didn't dare to be careless, staying home every day and going nowhere, watching the baby, doing some baking, which kept her from being too bored.
Hannah slept more than twenty hours a day, waking up only to eat, playing for a bit after being fed, and then sleeping again. She didn't cry much and was well-behaved.
