Dear Cathy, 
Congratulations on your new baby! I remember when our son was born two years ago. Labor wasn’t much fun; that’s for sure. After we took the baby home, I was nervous about doing something wrong. I read a bunch of books on taking care of babies. Now I could write a book myself! If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to ask me. But I’m sure you’ll be okay. 
I’m sending a little something for the baby. I hope she likes it! Take care of yourself, and say hi to Joshua for me. 
Happy Holidays, 
Helen Roberts 
亲爱的凯西: 
恭喜你生了小宝宝!我还记得两年前我们的儿子出生时的事情。阵痛很不好玩,那是真的。我们把小宝贝带回家后,我很怕做错事情。所以我看了一些有关照顾婴儿的书。现在我自己都可以写一本书呢!如果你有任何问题的话,不要犹豫来问我。不过,我确信你会做得很好的。 
我寄了一点东西给小宝宝。希望她喜欢这些东西!好好照顾你自己,并代我向约书亚问好。 
祝 假期愉快 
海伦‧罗伯丝 敬上
