‘Just make it through until morning.’

A midwife gave me the best advice. When making it through the first six weeks (let alone first year!) seemed like an eternity, the midwife said, ‘just make it through until morning.’ The nights were the hardest and she was right: somehow everything felt easy and more manageable when the sun was up. So on her advice, I just got through until morning, then again for the next one and the next one after that, until we emerged from the foggy first weeks.
