To make the transition into new parenthood easier and help with mom's recovery, try having a second "baby station" in your home in more of a common area. For example, use a pack and play where you can change or put down baby for a nap during the day. Make sure you load this area with diapers, wipes, and changes of clothes to make your role as a new parent an easier one.
