People have asked us what we need
People have asked us what we need. It’s been hard to ask for anything, but we’re so tired and maybe it’s time we reached out for more than prayer and encouragement. For those of you who have offered to bring something and didn’t know what, well now we have a better idea. (Oh and we love hand-me-downs!)
- Nursing Bras. I don’t have one that fits (unless you count being held together by hair ties). I think I’m a 44D or 44C although it’s hard to tell since I’ve never been this big. (Quote from Charley: “You definitely didn’t have *those* when I married you!”)
- One of those contraptions to help me breast feed in public modestly but still see the baby (since we have so many doctor’s appointments)
- nursing shirts (something absorbent and buttons up the front, right now I have two shirts)
- a skirt that is loose and long (to go over my stitches since my pants hurt me there)
- maternity underwear (for the same reason as the skirt… I think I’m a size six)
- diapers!!! (So Charley can do more work!
) - burp cloths
And as for non-material things:
- help with housework
- guests that can stay and play with the baby, but not stay longer than one breast feeding session
- guests who can stay with me while Charley runs errands (since I’m still suffering from depression)
- emails reminding me to eat and drink and take my vitamins
- healthy food
