Cassian's Baby Sister

"A gift of meals made ahead of time that we can have available in our freezer for those first few months postpartum, or freshly made and available to eat when you give it to us, after the baby comes would be extremely welcome as a way to help out!"

"Help playing with and taking care of Cassian, especially, while we are recovering and taking care of our new baby would be welcome."

"Help with setting things up ahead of time or catching up on chores while we're in the depths of the newborn days would be helpful for reducing our stress and helping us get rest, or take care of other tasks, ourselves, Cassian, and our new baby."

"A winter babywearing coat like this would be welcome (or a warmer one from another brand/style), in the XL size. (Or possibly a L, depending on the brand - feel free to check with us first before purchasing.)"

"This would fit on the outside of the infant car seat, making it a warm and cozy cocoon when we need to go out in the frigid MA winter air. We'd also be open to another brand/style that can safely fit over the top/ outside of our infant car seat (a Chicco KeyFit Max 35), including second hand."

"We kept our mini crib from when Cassian was a baby, but have since repurposed the mattress for his play tent, so it would be helpful to have another one to be able to use the crib again."

"This would be helpful as both a travel-friendly safe nap/sleep space, and as an attachment to our stroller for walks early on. We are open to a second hand option in good (safe for sleep) condition."

"A highly regarded and lightweight travel crib that we could use, especially for visiting family. There is an optional add-on bassinet for use in this for an additional $140 (or less if found second hand)."

"If we get the UppaBaby bassinet, we'd like one UppaBaby adapter to use it with our Guava Roam stroller."

"We'd like one Chicco adapter for our main infant car seat to fit on our Guava Roam stroller."

"We're thinking of trying part-time cloth diapering this time around, and have heard good things about this brand, in this style. These absorbent inners come in a set of 6, so having 2-4 sets should have our needs covered to start with."

"We would use cloth diaper waterproof covers (6-10 ish in total) to go with the absorbent inners we also have listed on this registry. Some brands I've read are effective and easy to use include Rumparooz, Esembly, Thirsties Duo, BabeeGreens, LunaPaca, GroVia, and Mother-Ease. Esembly covers especially are said to be excellent at preventing leaks. If we can do cloth diapers even part time, it would save a lot of money and be more environmentally friendly overall - plus they come in cute designs and colors."

"For potentially trying out EC, and therefore using fewer diapers overall."

"For use in one of the diaper pails for laundry items such as cloth diaper inner layers."

"This type of 3D wet bag has been useful in the past, and it would be helpful to have a few more. Plus, they come in lots of fun colors."

"These small wet bags have been helpful in the past, and it would be useful to have a few more sets."

"For organizing little parts of bottles or other feeding supplies"

"For organizing bottles for expressed milk, and for organizing bags of milk in the fridge."

"These baskets would be useful for organizing small baby supplies (ie: for nursing, diapering, accessories for going outside, etc.) around the house in tidy ways."

"We got one of these in dark blue for Cassian as a winter baby blanket, and it's still super soft, warm, and comfy. Another one for baby sister in this light green would be welcome. (Or something comparably soft and warm from a different brand, or homemade, would also be welcome.)"

"A sweet way to record baby's tiny hand and foot prints. We didn't know about this kind of thing when Cassian was new, and I want to try it with our second baby."

"A sweet and colorful way to show hand prints for us, Cassian, and the new baby as a family keep sake from when she's tiny and new."

"This (or a similar shirt from another brand) would be welcome for supporting skin to skin baby snuggles despite the cold of a MA winter. A medium is probably the right size for Toby."

"As we'll be entering the cold of a MA winter when this baby is born, it would be helpful to have shirts like this, to keep us warm and cozy while enjoying newborn skin-to-skin snuggle time. One or two (probably in L for those early postpartum times) seems like it might be helpful (in either color - or something similar from another brand)."

"I'm aiming for a VBAC, but in either birth scenario, I would like a postpartum belly band, such as this, to help support my healing abdominal and back muscles and everything inside - especially if I end up needing another C-section."

"We have some abstract black and white cards (from Lovevery) already, but it would be nice to have others to show the baby (such as for tummy time) and talk about to her in those early months when she can only see high contrast. These and others from Wee Gallery (or other places if you'd prefer) seem like a visually interesting set."

"We currently already have "Black Cat & White Cat," but otherwise don't yet have other high contrast board books. It would be nice to have some books like this for those early months when baby can only see high contrast. This is one example; we are open to others, too."
