How Do I Prepare My Daughter For Me Being Away At The Hospital?

I am 6 months pregnant and have a 2 year old daughter. She's excited about the baby in my tummy, but I don't think she will handle my hospital stay too well. I'm a stay-at-home mom and we've always been together. I have to have a c-section so I will be away for 4 days. How do I prepare her for the time away so that she doesn't end up resenting me or the baby?
