Baby Shower

Since I just had a baby, Joseph (now 27 mos), and due to pregnancy complications; I won't be having a Baby Shower. I would like to extend a thank you to all my friends and family who contributed to Joseph's baby shower.

Instead, I will be having a dinner for family and friends at a local restaurant if things progress. To be notified, click here.

Somewhere with cheese fries.
I would like to discourage bringing gifts to the dinner but greeting cards are fine. If you would like to gift something to the baby, please wait until after delivery. I am not opposed to hand-me-downs. If you have baby girl clothes or anything you will no longer need, feel free to save them for me.

Let me be completely honest here. I've had a traumatic birth once. I know the potential risks. I'm hoping for the best but being realistic. I don't wish to set up a nursery or have a bunch of pink onesies around, in the event that something should go wrong. That is why I prefer to wait until after delivery to accept any gifts. I appreciate your understanding.

That said, I am registered with Target.

The very best gift you can give me and the baby are your daily prayers that the condition will resolve itself and that I have a healthy pregnancy, baby and delivery.

Things I Really Need List
  • Pregnancy and post delivery support (help with cooking, cleaning, babysitting Joseph, errands, etc.) as I'm on restricted activity in addition to pelvic rest, due to spotting.
  • Friends on call in case of emergency. If you can be on call, let me know.
  • Diapers, Preemie-any size or brand.
  • Wipes, any. non-allergenic/unscented preferred.
  • Disposable bottle liners and nipples for Playtex Drop-Ins bottles.
  • Medical supplies: gauze, Pedialyte, maxi-pads... hey, just keeping it real.
  • Gift card(s) to Peapod/Stop&Shop or anywhere, preferably pharmacies and supermarkets
Things I Am Looking For
  • Several room gates (for doorways/stairwells)
  • An electric breast pump
  • An affordable washer and dryer
  • An air purifier
Again thank you for your ongoing generosity, but most of all, your love and support.
