Rita's Baby Registry

Welcome, and thank you so much for being here 🙏🙂‍↕️I appreciate you taking the time to view my registry page.

I’m so excited (and a little overwhelmed, in the best way) to be preparing to welcome Baby Mead into the world this Fall 2026. This new chapter means everything to me, and having the love and support of the people in my life makes it even more special. Thank you for checking out my registry page for my little human ^_^

I created this registry with care, focusing on the essentials that will help me provide a safe, comfortable, and loving start for my baby. I am new to all this so I have been adding, deleting, deliberating and trying to organize this page so it is as clear as possible. If you feel moved to contribute, please know that every single gift—big or small—is deeply appreciated and will be put to good use.

These items are ideas. I am notified when a gift is purchased and it will disappear from the registry (is my understanding, again, I'm new to this), so there is no worry about buying duplicates of anything. People can also pitch in together on pricey items listed through Babylist. I am working to secure a car seat and breast pump through my insurance with the help of a case worker so I have removed those items that were previously listed from my registry. I apologize for any confusion to anyone who has previewed my list so far and wondered. When in doubt, money will help us out the most and anything is appreciated as I am a first-time, single mother currently working two jobs to prepare and support us.

I have not shared an address publicly to send gifts to maintain my safety and privacy online but will give you the address of where I currently reside if you ask me directly. I am currently trying to secure an apartment for me and my son but efficiencies go fast around Pittsburgh apparently. I am hoping to secure something soon.

More than anything, I’m grateful for your support, encouragement, and presence during this time. Kindness goes a long way and it has healed my heart in many ways this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏It truly means the world to me and my little boy. We thank you with all our hearts. ❤️

With love and gratitude,
