Thank you
We are overwhelmed with the gratitude we feel for having so many amazing people in our and Luna's lives. Thank you for helping us get ready to welcome her to the world!
We will update with more photos as Luna arrives to enjoy her presents!
Thank you
Nana Susan & Papa Jeff
Isn't this just the cutest little crib?!
We love that it starts off as a mini crib and grows with baby so it can take up less space in the beginning but won't need to be replaced until baby is about 5 years old.
Thank you!
Mil gracias
Abuela Carmen & Bati Jorge
We are pretty sure we're gonna spend a lot of time in that chair trying to get Luna to fall asleep. Thank you so much for making that difficult task much more comfortable for everyone!
After two years at Forges Higschool, Coque is changing school next year, and his coworkers gave him a last day surprise with a cute basket of presents for Luna. It was completely unexpected! Apparently all the moms and dads got together to make a selection of what had been more useful for them
when becoming parents.
Muchas gracias FORGES
Thank you AUNT MARÍA
Thank you so much for getting us this compact and useful bathtub. It's a perfect fit for out small apartment, since we can easily fold it and put it away when we're not using it. I'm sure Luna will love it!
Thank you, María & Magda.
How lucky we are that the women in Abuela Carmen's classes send us love through her!
Thank you, María, for these adorable hand-crocheted sets. The little booties with ribbons are so darling! We can't wait to use them to keep Luna's little toes warm.
And thank you, Magda, for these tiny flamenco heels. We are sure Luna will have the dance moves for them in no time!
Thank you, Jes & Mom.
Some of Luna's first clothes were brought over from the states to start building her a collection of adorable outfits with a mix this cute little boutique in Edwardsville (Charlie Rae, check it out if you're looking for darling clothes for little ones) and Luna's cousins' hand-me-downs. And thank you to my big sis for my mommy-affirmation water bottle. I am so grateful to have you to come to for advice!
Thank you, Nieves & Santi.
Babies grow so quickly! And we are lucky some close friends had a baby girl just a few months before us, so we've been working on building Luna's closet with hand-me-downs from sweet Celia.
Thank you, Lucía & Chemuki.
It's no secret that sleeping in pregnancy gets complicated. Luckily, our friend Lucía had recently had her own little girl and could relate. She gifted us this pregnancy pillow that has been a huge help since early on, and is proving more and more important as the belly grows!
Thank you, Alberto & Alba.
It will be a while before Luna's ready for shoes, but when she's ready, she will walk in style with these mini Chucks that match her little cousin Alberto's pair.
Thank you, Ichita.
Thank you, Ichita, for capturing this unique moment in our lives as we wait and watch as baby Luna grows.
Check out her work on instagram @ichitarodriguez
Thank you, Morgan & Tyler.
The perfect gift from our fellow adventurers. I saw what travelling with baby could look like in our Oregon road trips with little Wyatt just a few years ago. Thank you for making our future adventures with Luna possible with this baby carrier!
Thank you, Jess & Luke.
Of course the masters of quirky cute would pick this funky octopus toy for their baby gift. She's bigger than Luna right now and full of details to catch her attention (one arm crinkles, another has a bell, another holds a pacifier, and under it all is a little mirror. We are sure she will be cuddling up with it in no time. 🐙
Thank you, Ankita & Madan.
Seems fitting that the woman who has been "by my side" through our OBGYN appointments, tests, and random in-the-moment worries ("Ankita, can I eat cured ham if it's been heated up?!" as I stare at the plate I ordered with its surprise ham topping) would be the one to buy us the bed that will be beside our own in these first months, and later as a travel crib. We know this crib will be vital to have baby close by and try to get some rest between nighttime feedings. Thank you!
Thank you, Aunt Ana & Uncle Ino.
As first-time parents, we find ourselves relying on the wisdom of those who have raised children before us, and we are so grateful to count on family for that! Thank you Ana & Ino for getting us this baby bouncer, knowing how useful it was in your time with littles in the house. We are sure it will be an incredible help!
Thank you, Marlene & family.
Thank you for the funds to purchase a few things left on our registry: the high chair cover, hygiene set, and musical toy. This little whale plays a soft lullaby of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," a song we know Marlene loves.
Thank you, (Great) Grandpa Joe and (Great) Grandma Rita.
We used your gift to buy decorations and supplies to finish the nursery, from these little flying whale stickers (which mom helped to put up when she arrived) to the wood and paint to make our homemade nightlights. We think Luna will love it!
Thank you, Mario & Carmen.
Thank you for the bookshelf! We are already filling it with Luna's first books, including the matching Montaña book for your little Nora. We are so excited for them to grow up together.
And thank you for the baby's first sweat pant set. Now Luna can be just like daddy in his PE teacher uniform.
Thank you, Villalba crew.
This sweet little basket of practical (and adorable) things will help us get Luna settled into her new home. Thank you for being there for us throughout the journey and for coming together as an amazing support group as many of us navigate the new adventures of parenthood!
Thank you, Raul & Klaudia.
Thanks for spending a bit of beach time with us, and for the sensory hedgehog toy. We can't wait for Luna to arrive and enjoy it (and hopefully more beach time together with our littles)!
Thank you, Amy, Eric, Emily & Anna.
With your gift, we were able to get the Love Every Play Mat and accessories. We love this activity mat because it is designed to help baby develop and even comes with cards to teach us how best to play with baby to help them learn and grow. Baby Luna will need to grow a bit to be able to use it, but we will update with a picture when she does! Thank you so much!
