Irelands Registry

If you somehow found your way here, I hope you’ll take a moment to read this.

I’m a stay-at-home mom and we’re a one-income family preparing for baby #2. My first pregnancy was spent in an abusive relationship. While I was pregnant, the person I was with tried to take my life twice. I was terrified, constantly in survival mode, and focused on simply making it through pregnancy and keeping my baby safe.

I eventually got out and have worked incredibly hard to build a safe, loving life for my son. Now, as we prepare to welcome another baby, I’m trying to do something I never got to do the first time: actually prepare and feel excited instead of living in fear.

I’ve intentionally made this registry about the things we truly NEED. We already have so much of the stuff babies don’t necessarily need, and I don’t want to ask for things just because they’re cute or fun. I’m hoping to give my next baby the prepared, peaceful beginning that I didn’t get to give my first.

I know you’re tagged in thousands of videos and hear from so many people, so I know there’s no guarantee you’ll ever see this. But I’m going to try anyway. 🥹

If you choose to help us, you wouldn’t just be clearing a baby registry. You’d be helping a mom who fought incredibly hard to get her family somewhere safe finally feel like she can breathe a little.
