Baby #3

Note from Bria:

"This is in case of excess bleeding once baby arrives. This is essential to have on hand for our home birth."

Note from Bria:

"This is an excellent herb that also helps the uterus contract if needing any extra support birthing the placenta, also helps stop excess bleeding. Essential to have on hand for home birth."

Note from Bria:

"We will be needing Chuck’s pads for any bodily fluids which is inevident during birth. Will use any extras for catching pees and poops from baby following birth."

Note from Bria:

"An essential herb to have on hand to stop any excess bleeding or aid in birthing the placenta."

Note from Bria:

"This would be absolutely amazing to have on hand during our home birth in case we need any support internally for any various reasons- big on homeopathy and its effectiveness. This is a great kit for home birth, postpartum and even just everyday life."

Note from Bria:

"This large tumbler would be amazing as we recently had to get rid of our large cups due to wear and tear and Bria will need plenty of hydration during the birthing process and postpartum."

Note from Bria:

"This is a wonderful seat used for an ancient healing practice of yoni steaming (vaginal) with herbs helps so much in the postpartum healing period, currently Bria just squats over a pot, so this will be so much easier and can double as a great birthing tool as well. She will use this daily in the immediate postpartum and regularly through normal bleed cycles once they return."

Note from Bria:

"Bria swears by this set for all things postpartum. A wonderful set to bring hormones back in balance and regulate, for a variety of reasons."

Note from Bria:

"Bria will definitely be needing this in immediate postpartum to help regulate hormones and so much more."

Note from Bria:

"Mimosa flowers are a supportive ally for healing emotional imbalances supporting a healthy response to stress, alleviate pain and calm the spirit. They contain powerful antioxidants that have neuroprotective properties. It supports both the Heart, Liver and Stomach. It moves Blood and relieves Liver Qi stagnation, making it a great ally for depression or anxiety. Helps soothe the nervous system and even benefit digestion making it great for the postpartum and PMS time. Also great for kids."

Note from Bria:

"Bria prefers to wear organic cotton especially immediate postpartum versus the heavier and thicker adult diapers, this is way more comfortable and healthier for the body. The other stuff tends to give ph imbalances causing itching and discomfort. Size XL preferred"

Note from Bria:

"We really are doing our best to make meals to store and have on hand the best dishes for postpartum healing we need plenty of storage to stock up for the family."

Note from Bria:

"We would love this for any and all dry or wet food we are preparing for postpartum."

Note from Bria:

"We would love these for large batches Bria is making of soups, herbal infusions, broths , etc."

Note from Bria:

"This is a great size for healing soups, herbal infusions, meal prepped food Bria is making."

Note from Bria:

"Amazing herbal support to nourish the blood, boost platelets which is super important for birth and postpartum helps prevent hemorrhaging."

Note from Bria:

"This is a fantastic healing agent to have postpartum on hand"

Note from Bria:

"We have metal tins currently but they are rusting and thought these would be better for all the superfood and lactation muffins Bria loves to make for postpartum and all kinds of stuff to meal prep for her and the fam, egg bites, lactation muffins, breakfast muffins, etc."

Note from Bria:

"We would absolutely love this for the family to aid in any and all ailments and elevate our well-being. This will help greatly for our newborn, babies and postpartum healing. Infrared therapy is so effective for many reasons!"

Note from Bria:

"This is an essential treatment in realigning the bones immediately after birth within the first week and also for baby to recieve treatment as well. Treatments are $75 each from Dr. Mark at Vertical Wellness in Valencia we would love 4."

Note from Bria:

"This is such an essential treatment Bria likes to recieve at least monthly but would love to go more often closer to birth (if we need to gently nudge baby to come), and for immediate postpartum for multitude of reasons. It’s a fix all in her experience with acupuncture & Chinese medicine. Sessions are $180 each from Chanel at Natural Life Acupuncture in Valencia"

Note from Bria:

"This is a wonderful treatment that will help Bria and baby so much in healing the pelvis, any birthing pains, and resetting the nervous system. Especially for the baby immediately following birth. It releases all tension and asses any oral issues. The sessions are $225 each and we would love 4. From Jackie and New Strength Myofascial Release in Santa Clarita"

Note from Bria:

"Oh my goodness it’s so expensive for these kinds of photos. We’ve done them with the last 2 babies I’d hate to not do them for this baby. The maternity shoot is looking at $425 and Newborn I’m assuming will be around the 400 range as well but will absolutely look around for a better deal! LA area is pricy. Open to recommendations on photographers."

Note from Bria:

"Since Bria won’t be working and Fabian will have to take some days off when Bria gives birth this is the hardest part. Especially since it’s already been so slow for his work in December and anticipating more work for January. He’s been on the hustle but it’s been so hard when we need extra help with the kids since Bria is really struggling with the end of pregnancy. We are doing the best we can. Unfortunately we don’t have a savings currently with everything that’s gone on this last year and are hoping for the best in this area."

Note from Bria:

"We will definitely be needing help with house cleaning once baby arrives as our hand will be full with the 3 kids and our house tends to get messy real fast. Cleaning ranges from 150-200 typically but we will try our best to find someone with a great deal! We normally clean ourselves so this one we know is super tricky when baby is here."

Note from Bria:

"Once baby is here, if Fabian needs to leave for work we will need to hire some help, and also for times where the older kids Sol & Luna may need extra attention, or if Fabian needs to take them to an indoor play adventure we will need some extra help financially for hiring a sitter, mothers helper, or taking them to activities. Pricing ranges from $20-30 an hour in our area as well as activities"

Note from Bria:

"This is one of the best items for sensory input for humans. Since the beginning of time sheepskin was known to help regulate body temperature and calm the nervous system. Warming in winter and cooling in summer. Great for baby to lay on"

Note from Bria:

"Bria had to throw away the last ones we had cuz they age and get gross, but this is wonderful to collect milk when it’s leaking since she plans exclusively breastfeeding."

Note from Bria:

"These waterproof pads will help greatly since we focus on baby being diaper free and catching the waste as much as possible."

Note from Bria:

"We currently don’t have extra space for the many clothes we have for the kids and will be repurposing for our new baby so some extra storage would be so beneficial for the room."

Note from Bria:

"We had to get rid of our last couple baby baths since they got moldy so we could really use another for when time comes to bathe the baby."
