Hi family, and friends, and family friends! For you interested in celebrating the birth of our baby with a gift, here are gifts we'd highly appreciate:

• visits! of mutually agreeable timing and length
• house-cleaning help
• sewing help (e.g., sewing support wraps, supplies (wipes, etc); altering onesies into separates)
• your favorite advice

For those who may be far away, or who'd like to contribute a monetary gift, we could also greatly benefit from multiples of

• gift certificates for services from our doula who can provide services for our family before, during, and after birth
• gift cards for the Olympia Food Co-op

NB: We intend to be mindful about what we consume in parenting (as in all of life). Receiving the following items would be more stressful than helpful:

• plastic toys (including synthetic 'stuffed animals')
• disposable diapers
• onesies (We will be practicing Elimination Communication and not diapering. Separates will be more comfortable.)
