As you asked for it I'll offer you some sympathy. Your wife may deserve some as well. I found that practice especially with the weak hand brings benefits. I started to get mine with a broken collarbone. I can write and handle most tools with my left hand. It's really handy when using the right hand would force me into an awkward position. So go on practicing.
I don't recall whether I offered my best wishes for you, your wife and your newborn but one more time couldn't hurt. So best wishes from me.
