Although Victoria Beckham has been tweeting away about her love for baby Harper, she hasn't been able to hold her just yet.

The former member of the Spice Girls is recovering from a slipped disc in her lower back that she suffered while pregnant with her little one, and is still reportedly in so much pain that hubby David Beckham has to hold Harper for her even while she breastfeeds, according to Exposay.

Victoria is said to be upset that she hasn't been able to play with Harper like she did with her other children, but is trying to stay positive about the situation.

She even headed to Twitter Friday to thank fans for their well wishes during her recovery.

"Thank u for your kind messages," Victoria tweeted to fans Friday. "I'm feeling much better and enjoying every precious minute with baby Harper, I'm so in love."
