Tiring...

Dear Nicky,

I'm a little worried about Mom, because she absolutely cannot handle any tiredness, and here we are with a little creature who, to be honest, makes us a little tired, at least at present. I understand that you are supposed to require quite a bit of maintenance; you're not even three weeks old yet. Mom understands this, too, but frankly I think she has postpartum depression, which in anyone else would be bad enough, but your mother has been under a huge strain. So, basically, I think that's why she gets that thousand-yard stare. You can help out by eating a lot and sleeping a lot and crying very little. That'd be nice.

Love,
Dad
