I hope you are enjoying your baby. it is fine for you to sit as much as you need to and by six weeks out you should be able to resume most of your normal activities. your stamina will gradually return. it is very very tiring to care for a newborn. try to rest when the baby naps. the housework may not get the attention you'd ideally like, but newborn care is hard work.
