Just when we thought we couldn't wait any longer, Piper arrived a few days early into the world!
Now she's here and we must shower the baby and family with love, support, 
and gifts!

Two elated god-mommies have created this Give InKind page as a hub for organizing care and support for the newly-expanded Schank family.

Please use this page to help us coordinate getting meals, gifts, and care to the Schanks! We have a schedule for delivering or sending food, helping out with Wallace and the puppies, and checking in on Mom & Dad!  Feel free to claim a spot or two!

We also connected their Amazon wishlist if you would like to send gifts.

Birth

Welcome to the World Piper Ann

Recovering from a vaginal birth leaves a mother's perineum sore and swollen for several weeks. For mothers who tear, this recovery process takes closer to six or more weeks.
This kit includes the Frida Mom Recovery Regimen that acts to cool, absorb, soothe, and relieve pain in this area. This kit includes:
<ul>
<li>Disposable Postpartum Underwear (4 pairs, Waist 28" -42")</li>
<li>Instant Ice Maxi Pads (4 pads)</li>
<li>Perineal Cooling Pad Liners with Witch Hazel (24)</li>
<li>Perineal Healing Foam</li>
<li>Toilet-top storage caddy</li>
</ul>
Why We Love This Gift: Frida Mom loves to remind us that when you bring home a baby, you bring home a mother too. While we know there will be plenty of sign-ups to come and hold that new baby, moms need to take care of themselves too. So when you go visit the new family, this kit from Frida Mom is a great way to say, "take all the time you need in there. I've got you."
What To Express in Your Card: Been there, done that. I wish I'd had this kit during my recovery, because this is hard. I love you.

Kids love lego. A perfect gift for just about any occasion.
Why We Love This Gift: Because it is Lego. That's why. 'Nuff said. It's great for any kid. It is especially helpful in certain situations like a kid in the hospital or a bed-bound kid. Hot tip from the mother of a pediatric oncology patient - consider age, ability, and medical side effects in making your selection. Sometimes, treatments for kids can result in peripheral neuropathy which can dull the skill or attention of a child. For the some kids, the Millennium Falcon may be great - but consider too classic build your own models too. Also super fun. This is also a great sibling gift following the birth of new baby.
What To Express in Your Card: Can I come build with you? I love you.

This product teaches children about how to wash hands properly and effectively. Our Glo Germ Gel contains proven safe ingredients which simulate the presence of real germs, 5 micros in size. Glo Germ Gel will illuminate under UV light, showing where actual germs would reside. Our gel works best for demonstrations where frequent or numerous uses are required. Simply pump 1-2 strokes of gel on palms of hands and rub together, including back of hands. Scrape fingernails on palms to "infect" germs under the nails. Place hands under a UV light to view the "germs." Follow with normal hand washing, then test again with UV light to inspect how well the hands were washed.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it really teaches kids how to properly wash their hands. This is a fun teaching tool for kids and adults alike about the importance of hand washing as a way to control the spread of illness. Perfect for families with a concern about illness and germs, this really gets the job done. This product is personally recommended by advisors to the Give InKind editorial team who had a child in chemotherapy and a younger child simultaneously. Using this product, she taught children how to wash their hands like surgeons - empowering them to be safe.
What To Express In Your Card: I know you have specific concerns about hand washing and germ control. I read that this product teaches kids about hand washing and I thought it might be a good way to show don't tell visitors (adults too) about how to wash hands. I am thinking so much of you.
