Dear wonderful family and friends,
Thank you for your interest in helping us get everything we need for our new baby.
At my parent's request, I have created a list of things our Tiny Tuttle is going to need, excluding all the things we have already found or bought.
I am due 24th September 2015.
Family from Australia can be in touch with my mother or father who are both planning trips to Israel and will be able to bring things over. Family from America or elsewhere can be in touch with me directly or with R and S Tuttle.
However, the easiest thing from our perspective is for any/all of our well-wishers to gift us cash. This will mean that we can take advantage of lower prices on all these items in Israel and also make sure we get them on time and do not have to carry them across international borders (which can have implications for tax in Israel)! If you would like to do this, please be in touch and let us know which item you would like to contribute to or "buy" for us and I will provide you the details and eventually, G-d willing, a cute picture! We have American and Australian accounts for easy transfer.
Here is the list - I will update this if items get "taken." You can also comment on this post if you would like. All prices are in New Israeli Shekels, the exchange rate is approximately four shekels to one USD or AUD, but Google with check for your with the most up to date figures.
Childbirth Preparation Classes 650 NIS
Child Birth Assistant "Doula" 1,950 NIS
New Furniture for the Bedroom to make it possible to fit the baby's furniture - 3000 NIS
Baby Carrier - 350 NIS
Baby Sling - 200 NIS
Breast Pump - 1600 NIS - [UPDATE] Found one! Woot.
Nursing Pillow - 300 NIS
Nursing Cover - 80 NIS
Stroller including bassinet attachment- 2500 NIS
Bottles + new born nipples

Towels

If an item is not on here, chances are that we have already bought or borrowed it. If you think there is something I may have overlooked that is totally worthwhile, please let me know.

Lots of love
