Akira's Baby Registry

"Your love and support mean the world to us! Because we were lucky enough to thrift most of the essentials after getting rid of so much when we moved back home, we are asking for contributions toward postpartum support, such as a doula or night nanny. My friend Skylar, who is a doula, flew out to California to support us as we began our life as parents when Arrietty was born. She truly became the backbone of our household, not only during Arrietty’s first two weeks of life, but also throughout my first two weeks postpartum and those overwhelming first weeks of Andrew and I learning how to become parents. She supported all of us in every way possible, and having that kind of help made such a huge difference in our transition into parenthood. This time around, with Andrew working night shifts at the ER while starting college, and me spending my days caring for Arrietty, postpartum support would give our family the precious gift of sleep and a smoother transition for everyone. If you’d prefer to give a physical gift, we also have a small registry with a few things we still need. But please know that your presence is truly the greatest gift of all, especially after living so far away from our families for so long. We are just so grateful to celebrate this baby with the people we love. 🤍 Venmo: Akira-Delpais Cashapp: Delpaisdoulafund"
