Richa and Hitarth sitting together with their hands resting on Richa’s baby bump

A teeny-tiny baby girl
is joining our team

We’re excited, nervous (especially Hitarth), and wildly underqualified - and we’d love all the support we can get.

No pressure. No fuss. Hand-me-downs very welcome.
A note from us

It takes a village.
We’re lucky to have you in ours.

Your advice, check-ins, food and love mean more to us than anything on this page.

For anyone who would like to give a gift, we’ve gathered a few practical things we think we’ll genuinely use. We’re very happy with second-hand finds, shared gifts and the wisdom of parents who have done this before.

With love, Richa & Hitarth
