You are not alone. You and Alex and Misha are surrounded by highly qualified folks who want you to succeed at nursing. And all across this wide green world there are people who care and are sending you tons of loving thoughts.

You're tired, you're physically drained and you are feeling overwhelmed. I know, and a lot of other mothers on your friends list know, just how you are feeling.

You are also bright and motivated and a Good Mother. This will work out. And until it does, lean on us and the lactation folks and the fine women at the midwife practice. It's okay to cry. It's okay to not be sure what you are doing. It's okay to give yourself and Alex time to get the hang of this.

You guys are loved.
