We got rid of all of ours, but I'd be glad to pick up and ship you a few items. So if anyone else wants to go in on a "CSC Baby Package" I'd be happy to collect the money and make a shopping trip and send it down to Mekender.

 

That would be mighty kind, here is the little tyke and her parents this afternoon:

 

Dawwww...

Alright boys and girls...I'll head to the store tomorrow or Tuesday. If y'all want to send me some money let me know. I'll just increase what I can buy with it.

I'm thinking:

Newborn diapers
Half dozen onsies
Baby wipes
Swaddling blanket
Baby lotion
Cleaning pads/baby wash
Socks

These are the basics, I'll get what I can, but could use help.

 

Be sure when getting diapers that you look close. "Newborn" may very well be too big for the little gal, look at preemie sizes. They should be rated by weight.

 

My wife says that socks are not necessary (they have plenty), and that lotions and wipes are out due to allergies. But long sleeve stuff would be great.

I swear, you guys on this forum never cease to amaze me when it comes to kindness.

 

Booger- do you have a Paypal account we can send $$$ to?

We have a 17 month old and have ALL the crap that goes along with one from birth. Please let me know what you guys need and I will go up and sort out what we have and what you need.

 

Feel free to PP me at natsmith77@yahoo.com

As far as diapers go, if I get enough cash I was planning on getting some for premie and newborn. If things go right the little girl will be needing those soon too.

If you send money, I'll buy whatever you want.

She could still use some cute stuff while at the hospital. They normally just have white "industrial" clothes. All parents want their babies dressed in "their own" clothes. We gonna make that happen.

This is true but mom is a tiny woman, pre-pregnancy she was all of about 115lbs soaking wet with a few rolls of quarters in her pocket.

didn't know they did that. that's great. things sure have changed since mine where born 32 years ago. will check with coworkers to see if they have anything for her.

 

my oldest was 10 weeks early, weighed a whopping 3#8oz. Spent his first 33 days in NICU....so I understand what these folks may be going through. For our group, I would politely suggest we focus on the "consumables"....wipes, diapers, bottles/nipples/formula, etc. rather than clothes. Clothes are easy at this stage. The consumables are what will overwhelm these guys...not even the $$, but having to simply go get it can be a pain.

 

Awesome job mekender for putting this together. Keep us posted on the little tyke and family.

Up to $110 guys!

 

Just sent some money via PayPal. I have no child experience so get what you feel is best.

 

Got it!

I will collect until around 5:30 tonight and then hit the store.

Since we have collected a good amount so far I may have to get some things and consolidate the rest into a gift card. Depends on how large a container I can ship effectively.

 

I'll chip in some money. This is a great thing y'all are doing. Having a 7 month old, I remember those days with a brand new newborn. Give them my best. Gonna PM you Booger.
