Preparing for Postpartum & Asking for a Little Help ❤️

Hi everyone. I’m a mom in Indiana, and I’m currently very close to welcoming our baby girl, Freya. Her due date is October 29th, just one day before her big brother's first birthday. ❤️

This pregnancy and the circumstances surrounding our family have made preparing for postpartum especially difficult financially. I’ll be recovering from childbirth while caring for our children, including an almost-1-year-old, so I’m trying to prepare ahead of time with easy snacks, drinks, hydration, and a few things that will make those first weeks a little more manageable.

I put together a couple of registries with things that would be very helpful for my recovery:

🥤 Postpartum Snack & Hydration Registry: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3KYJQ6HY27363?ref\_=cm\_sw\_r\_apann\_ggr-subnav-share\_T2WE2K24Z5JWDYTNC68V&language=en-US

🛍️ Postpartum Essentials/Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/2PCNHKEQYF6XB?ref\_=cm\_sw\_r\_apann\_ggr-subnav-share\_D2RVHN02CY8B53RDWDF3&language=en-US

There are items at different price points. Even a small item would genuinely help, and simply sharing the post or sending some encouragement means a lot too.

I know there are a lot of people struggling right now, so I’m grateful just to have the opportunity to ask. ❤️ Thank you for reading and for any kindness you’re able to offer.
