Mercedes & Nicole McLaughlins Baby Registry

Arrival Date April 18, 2024

We are beyond excited to welcome baby Sophie Bella into the world. After 3 years of preparing, and 2 years of trying we are so excited to be pregnant with our sweet baby girl.

We greatly appreciate any and all support. Whether you support us through our baby registry, in person support, or just loving us, we are grateful.

We have been incredibly intentional with the creation of this list, and tried to prioritize organic, and the most non toxic items available. However we know this is not always possible when giving gifts. We would love and appreciate for you to check the "Dirty" app for any products and have a score of 3 or under, limit any plastics even "BPA-Free" ones, or prioritize organic or natural fibers/materials. We are BEYOND excited and grateful for hand-me-downs, second hand gifts, and all the facebook marketplace finds. If it is on this list, and you find something similar and more cost effective somewhere else we love that, just let us know or mark the list to prevent a double purchase. We also love sustainability and acknowledge the influx and waste associated with baby items, so always happy to reduce, re-use, recycle, and repurpose.

We are overjoyed to have any and all support. We would love to prioritize items indicated as "must haves" as these are essentials we will need for Sabella. While we know these aren't always the "fun" gifts, we always try to take a functional approach to incorporating needs, then wants, then "just-because" items! But we want you to express your support in the way that feels most in-lined with your spirit!

Several gifts are marked "group gift" and babylist only allows this for items listed on the "babylist" website. It basically pools funds to go towards a bigger ticket item (i.e.anyone who views the list can chose to contribute to it). But any gift can be a group gift, baby list will just not pool resources, and it would have to be done manually by whoever would want to be in the group. (i.e. people/friends/family who know each other).

For those of you who love clothes, we only listed needs on the registry, some other great brands to get (new, used, on ebay, TJ.MAXX, Marshalls, on facebook marketplace, mercari, etc.), "Rabbit + Bear Organic", "Burts Bees Organic", "Carters Organic", or many other great organic marked brands.

If you have a great organic, non-toxic, suggestion not on the list, we are open and willing to learn and grow so much in this process! Please include all receipts/gift receipts for new items, as we don't know what will work for baby. Mercedes (and Nicole) has incredibly sensitive skin, as well as many topical allergies, and we don't know what will be passed onto baby. We also want to respect your time and investment in choosing a gift, and if we can't use it want to be able to return/exchange it for something that will still support in the journey and not create waste for all of our Mother, Mother Earth.

Thank you so much for considering to contribute in whatever way you're able. Nothing is expected, EVERYTHING is appreciated, and we have nothing but love and gratitude for our friends and family who loved us to get us this far!

All our love from the Growing Mac Pack,

Mercedes & Nicole & Baby Sophie Bella
