Baby Fund: Gear, Giggles, & Parental Survival
Jasmin Hester & Ryan Nieuwendaal
Clarksburg, MD
June 24, 2025
Surprise! Turns out, we’ve been playing an intense game of hide-and-seek with this little one, and they won—staying hidden until 20 weeks! Now, these seasoned (read: older and slightly more exhausted) parents are starting from scratch because we officially own zero baby things. Not a bottle, not a onesie—just a strong sense of déjà vu and a mild panic.
The last baby in our growing family was born in 2015, and apparently, baby gear has evolved more than smartphones. (Why does every stroller now look like a Transformer?) If you’d like to help us navigate this brave new world of parenting tech, we’d be forever grateful! No pressure—moral support, parenting hacks, and snacks are also accepted.
Love,
