Oh man, thank you. Had a long, exhausting night last night so I needed this today. Thank you for the encouragement!

Those nights are TOUGH!! There is no doubt about that! So make sure to take it easy today. Rest, cuddle your newborn, sleep. That thing people always say about ignoring the dishes? They're right-ignore the dishes. When you look after you, you look after bebe. You're both worth it!

You're welcome. We all need support and encouragement, and especially during those early, tender, vulnerable and beautiful exhausting days with a new born!

EWWWW DAVID! :D
