Little Luc #2

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Having Chance home to bond with the new baby and help care for Dea while I'm recovering would be a dream. With his line of work, there is no PTO or parental leave, so we're saving as best as we can to have him home for as long as possible."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"No baby follows a plan perfectly, this will help us with any of those last minute/emergency purchases. We may not looove Walmart, but they aren't too far and do have just about everything!"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Herbal aid for postpartum recovery."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"The finest in postpartum fashion, and part of my daily uniform if you come to visit those first few weeks."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"For making padsicles for postpartum healing"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"I had a very hard time with nursing bras/tanks with Dea. Any bra band that wasnt super relaxed led to clogged ducts and a lot of pain. These are soft, wide banded, and very stretchy. Size L/XL in any color."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"mama and me set (mama portion) for Dea and I to have a special thing together after baby sister arrives. Any matching thing for me and her, really. Socks, headband, hair bow, something to let her feel connected."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Any size L/XL nursing tanks would be so welcomed. Unfortunately most of the ones I've come across second hand have been S/M. Thrifted or hand me downs are encouraged!"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"A new cup with a handle (mine is the old-school yeti style with no handle) to keep me hydrated with one hand."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Bibs and burp cloths got their fair use with Dea, it'd be great to have a few fresh ones for those tender newborn cheeks."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We were gifted a hand me down boppy, so are not lost without this, but did not find it to give enough support at my height"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"With our limited space, we are on the hunt for a USED mini crib with wheels. With good reviews and safe spacing on the bars. We'll likely be moving before baby outgrows this, and will have the ability to use a full size crib at that time. We do still have Dea's old bassinet, however, it is quite large and not entirely sturdy for having such a helper of a big sister."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Newborn or teeny tiny sized diaper covers. The Noras Nursery ones work well from ~3mo on, these guys (or other newborn sized covers) fit well for the early stage. Our xs or newborn covers were second hand, and are no longer waterproof."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Nora's Nursery has been a great brand for us, but any heavy duty, adjustable size diaper covers would be appreciated. *Please no fleece lining* Open to well maintained second hand covers! They can become less waterproof over time, our brand new ones are good for another round of use, but the second hand ones we got for Dea have ended their lifespan."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"For the early days, and trips out of the house."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"This was a lifesaver as a diaper cream for Dea, and safe for cloth diapers."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We were so lucky to have been able to borrow these with Dea, and would love to be able to use them again for baby #2"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Huggies seemed to do best for us in the newborn stage, before switching over to cloth. We also use disposable diapers for any out of the house activities, so any size is appreciated!"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Alternative to pins for the preflats."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"On the hunt for a USED Bugaboo or other all terrain rated bassinet style stroller. Frog, Fox, Dragonfly, Chameleon, and Kangaroo are all great models. We're hoping to find a used item with the bassinet because these things are way too $$$. There are way more used options near a city, so if you see one close to you for a great deal ($150 or less) let us know, we'd love to buy it and pay to ship! We have also seen the Mompush Wiz on Amazon as a good option, but less well reviewed for dirt roads and runs about the same cost as a used Bugaboo."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We're open to other styles as long as they are sturdy! (Dogs, cats, toddler) We loved this one as it doubles as a toddler rocker once baby outgrown this set up. Definitely interested in second hand."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"With our current cars, we have very limited space to accommodate rear facing car seats. We really struggled with Dea's infant seat, and one of us sat in the back for the majority of travels. Since that's not an option this time, we've figured out that this is the most compact of rear facing car seats. Open to second hand within expiration dates and including all infant pieces."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"A ride along option for Dea on baby's stroller."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We have a structured carrier for when she's a bit older, unfortunately our hand me down wrap has seen better days after Dea and the other babes its carried. We did love the Moby, and love thst this is 100% cotton."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"A necessity for a summer baby. Any brand, preferably not black so we can keep track of it."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Any easy to clean humidifier with no light."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We still have the buffer base, but need a new set of pads."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Between the wood burning stove and all the furry critters, we'll definitely be putting our air purifier to work to ensure baby Luc has good, clean air."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We're on the hunt for a secondhand small footprint rocking chair. We don't have a lot of space, and won't be able to accommodate the Brentwood rocker we had inside with Dea."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Kimono newborn onesies for before the umbilical stump falls off."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Any two way zipper 100% cotton sleep & play. Footed or non-footed. Sizes newborn and 3-6mo. Hand me downs and second hand aporeciated!"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"Just a cute little thing. Love the ocean prints this site has!"

Note from Emily and Chance:

"We love the ocean theme and high contrast mat! But we are also open to any second hand wooden baby gym."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"A fun way for big sister to help us get ready for the day."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"mama and me set (Dea portion) of Dea and I to have something special after baby. Any matching thing for me and her, really. Socks, headband, hair bow, something to let her feel connected."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"A treat to help us through the long nights with a newborn and busy days adjusting as parents of two. Used is welcome! We're a little partial to this model due to its reviewed longevity and quality at a low price, and most that are secondhand are due to people upgrading their machines instead of issues."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"A toddler, two dogs, two cats, two adults, and a wee one crawling on the floor to find all the crumbs, hair, and dirt 😅 Consider this an extra set of hands to help keep things more manageable, especially in those first few months. Second hand or other brands are totally appreciated."

Note from Emily and Chance:

"For those tired moments where we need a break from meal planning and cooking. Snacks are also welcome. Warm, nutrient dense foods are so wonderful for healing. Brothy soups or dishes with lots of protein and cooked veggies are much appreciated! *We eat very small amounts of pork products, unfortunately they don't sit well with my stomach. Peppers are also not our friends, as Chance is allergic to capsacin."
