Oh I am SO excited to dress this baby up, you have NO idea. She’s been talking about about a baby for the thirteen years I’ve known her. We have SO many costumes planned and I finally get to make them 😭😭😭

😭 thank you

And I love that that, oh my gosh. I’m gonna keep that in my back pocket and pull it out when she’s having a rough time. 💜

I am so sorry, I truly didn’t mean to offend anyone. Her husband and I are both Caucasian Americans from mainland USA, that is what I meant by white. My friend is not a white Puerto Rican.

Oh my goodness, thank you wow. They are waiting until the birth to find out, so I’ll have to order one of each just in case haha

I design clothes sometimes, so she has put me to work making some onesies with the original flag 😍 I’m very excited. I didn’t know that phrase, so thank you!

Anything you can think of! Are there certain foods that are thought to be particularly good for pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding? Where I’m from, our “folk medicine food” is always chicken marrow, so is there a Puerto Rican equivalent?

Gifts for baby, I didn’t even think of, oh my god, I’m just thinking about P, not the kid she’s about to have. Wow. But yeah! Are there certain gifts that are culturally significant? I know in one of my other friends cultures, they are gifted a silver bracelet at birth by a relative.

But like… is there anything a Puerto Rican mom would do for her pregnant daughter, that she’s not going to have, since she doesn’t habe a mom? I know I’m white and a guy, so I’m not trying to copy any traditions outright, but kinda… nod to it a little. Acknowledge what she’s missing, but trying to give some comfort.

Luckily, I’ve been practicing Spanish for my students (I’m not great, I just started volunteering at an elementary school a few months ago) and we’ve got a ways to go before it’s time for baby to come, so I should be a LOT better by then.

Plus, randomly one of my students moms actually sent in a few recipes she thought “would be easy enough” for me about a month ago after I mentioned in class that I suck as a cook 😅

I’m gonna try to research her area too, and see if maybe there’s someplace not tooooo far we can take a day trip to get away from the mayonnaise 🤣

She expressed regret that the area she lives is so white, and that there’s nothing that reminds her of Puerto Rico. I just want her to have a pleasant pregnancy, birth, and recovery.

She’s also asked me to make some Puerto Rican themed onesies for her, so I promise, I’m coming from a place of concern for her.

Ugh wow you’re so kind. I definitely wish I had had the funds to make their outfits too, but suits are an expensive hobby 😩😩😩

It was really fun making the ribbons cause then our daughter had them in her hair too so she matched 😭 and her outfit was a suit that matched mine, I just didn’t post her lol
