Story
Hello Dear Friends & Family! 👋 As we welcome our newborn daughter Emmeline into the world, we are filled with SO much gratitude for this new chapter in our lives! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our care page—it means the world to us!! 🙏 Between the sleepless nights, frequent feedings, and navigating the STEEP learning curve of becoming parents, we humbly know we’ll need some extra help to keep up with everyday needs—like meals, groceries, dishes, etc. (Meal deliveries, gift cards, & Venmo contributions are welcome, as well!) We'd be honored to have your support in making this a truly restorative time, as we focus on recovery and adjusting to our new chapter of life! ✅ HOW YOU CAN HELP: Please sign up for a time/item that works for you through the Care Calendar below! We'll update it as needed. (Or feel free to text Alex with any questions or modifications: 949-395-8769) 🍽️ FOOD: Our favorite combo is "healthy, nutritious, delicious"! These are especially helpful for postpartum recovery. (Allergies include: coffee, tea, boba.) 💡 For food/meal ideas, please feel free to reference this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aTppk2K8RRHGRH1T0k7aK0gISUyxIcxCAKueRpu06nw/edit?usp=sharing 📍ADDRESS: San Diego, CA (Please contact Alex to get our specific address!) We are SO thankful for your love, support, and understanding as we adjust to life as a family of THREE! Every small act of kindness—whether a warm meal or a kind message—means immeasurably more to us than words can express. ❤️ With deep love & gratitude, Grace, Alex & Baby Emmeline 🐣
Special Notes
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR VISITORS: 💕 EXPECTATIONS: At this time, we’re asking that visits be limited to a brief food drop-off or helping with small chores—to ensure a peaceful space for Grace’s recovery, and our baby's health/development/bonding. Please note that due to fluctuating circumstances, you might not be able to see Grace or baby when you visit—but your support still makes such a HUGE difference! 🩹 HEALTH: To keep baby safe, please visit only if you’re completely healthy (no recent or current symptoms of illness / no recent exposure to others with symptoms). 🚫 Please no kissing baby, as her immune system is still developing. 📱 TEXT BEFOREHAND: Our apartment has a security gate; please text Alex (949-395-8769) to confirm your visit and ensure access. 📸 PHOTOS: To respect our privacy, please do not share any photos of baby’s face on public social media platforms without our permission. Feel free to show them on your phone screen to others instead! ------------------- 🙏 WAYS YOU CAN PRAY FOR US DURING THIS SEASON: Your prayers mean so much to us as we step into this new chapter of life! A few ways you can lift our family up in prayer: 1) 💪 For Rest + Recovery: Please pray for Grace’s healing as she recovers from pregnancy & birth! 2) 💕 For Sweet Bonding / Our Family: Please pray for grace & growing connection, love, joy, presence, & peace as we all learn day by day to adjust to life as a family of three. If you’d like, feel free to share any Scriptures, blessings, or words you’re praying over us. You can drop them in the comments or message us directly—it would mean so much to read them in this season! Thank you for standing with us in both practical & spiritual ways. We are so deeply grateful for your love & support!!
