It's my golden birthday, in fact! Being pregnant really messed up my celebration plans, lol.
I'm 33 weeks pregnant with a moderately complicated pregnancy. I have a full time job, but am on FMLA intermittent leave due to my complications and have been working about 20 hours a week or less for the past few months. My income has been cut DRASTICALLY, and I've been struggling to meet my bills-- let alone finish buying things to prepare for my baby.
After baby comes, I'll literally have more of an income on my maternity leave than I have right now. 😬
I'm utilizing the food bank, have gotten a lot of baby items cheaply secondhand or free from friends, and have put quite a few things on a credit card. I've hit a wall with the help I can pull from around me though, so I'm appealing to the kindness of strangers for some help.
I still have quite a few things I need to get before baby gets here. I put together a wishlist of necessary & "not necessary but very close to it" items to share. It's not everything that I need but if I can get some of these items covered it means i can focus on figuring out how to obtain the bigger money items I still need to get. 🥰
Here is the wishlist on Amazon.
Additionally, if you live in Eastern Minnesota or Western Wisconsin and have items on that Iist that you can share with me, please message me to see if we can work out meeting up. 🥰
Thank you very much!!
