Shay is about to become a mom, and honestly, watching her step into this next chapter has been one of the sweetest things to witness. She pours so much love into everyone around her — it’s just who she is — and now it’s our turn to pour a little of that back into her. The next few weeks (and months) are going to be full of sleepless nights and big adjustments, and I wanted to create one easy place where all of us who love her can show up for her in whatever way we can. Every meal dropped off, every walk her pup gets taken on, every small gesture — it all adds up to giving Shay the space to just be present with her new baby. Thank you for being part of her circle and for loving her the way you do. What support is most helpful • Meals — a gift card to an organic meal delivery service (like Territory, Sunbasket, or similar) so she can eat well without worrying about ingredients. Shay has some dietary needs, so a gift card lets her choose what works best for her. • Cash gifts — Venmo is the easiest way to send a little extra for anything she and the baby need. • Dog walks or sitting — her pup could use some extra love while Shay’s hands are full. Sign up for a walk or pet sitting. • Baby registry — if you’d like to send a gift, her registry link is below.
“We’ll leave the visiting guidelines up to Shay — she’ll add her thoughts here once she’s had a little time to settle in and figure out what feels right for her and the baby. In the meantime, know that your patience and understanding mean so much.
