As Beth and Chris prepare to welcome their new baby in the coming month, we are so excited for this new chapter in their lives. At the same time, this season brings a lot of transition, adjustment, and need for support—physically, emotionally, and practically. I’ve created this page as a way for friends and family to come together and support them in ways that are truly helpful. Whether it’s providing a meal, helping with errands, offering encouragement, or simply giving them the space they need to rest and bond as a family, every act of care makes a difference. The most helpful forms of support right now include: Meal support (especially easy, ready-to-eat options) Gift cards for groceries, takeout, or baby essentials Encouraging messages and check-ins Please keep in mind that this is a very special and sensitive time as they adjust to life with a newborn. Flexibility, patience, and kindness go a long way in supporting them well. Thank you for being part of their village and loving them so well during this time.
A few important things to keep in mind when offering support: Beth has an allergy to pineapple. They follow a gluten-free diet, so please be mindful of ingredients when preparing or purchasing food. If you would like to visit, please reach out ahead of time rather than stopping by unexpectedly. This helps them plan around rest, feeding schedules, and recovery. Your thoughtfulness and respect for these needs means so much and helps create a supportive, stress-free environment for their growing family.
