I'm a postpartum/newborn nurse. First of all you got some good stuff! A word of advice, use the darker colors of PJ'S for the first week (childbirth is a messy thing). Second, take care of yourself. Let Josh flex his dad muscles and help take care of baby. Babies have an incredible sense of smell (if they can smell mom, they want to be with mom). If you're desperate for a nap, have Josh take baby into a different room. Baby should be calm and you can get a power nap. Next, lanolin cream will be your friend . Baby blues are a real thing. If you want to cry, do it. Your hormones will be going crazy.I hope you and Josh have a wonderful experience!!!

[@robinashultz7662]

And if you do get a bad case of the blues increase your B vitamins, I took twice the normal amount twice a day (water soluble of course so what you don’t need just goes out) for two days then took normal dose. It was a God send! I had been literally sobbing all the time before that.

[@cynthiapm8149]

I concur on the lanolin cream because ouch. I liked button up pj's for breastfeeding. I didn't take pj's to the hospital just a big rob and inexpensive slippers that I threw away afterwards. I only wore that ugly hospital gown, but wore ist front side open buttoned up and my robe on top. After hospital any pj's will do, but when visitors came I used button pj's because that is what made me more comfortable and less exposed. Heating pad for postpartum cramping is awesome. You and baby will need an outfit to come home to and since it is going to be cold make sure baby is bundled up, but watch winter car seat safety tips. Puffy jackets or puffy blankets in a car seat are a big no no. Happy delivery!

[@Groovechic1]

I was going to say the same about the darker pjs!! So excited for you!

[@Groovechic1]

Oh, and your nipple cream (lanolin) will also make an AWESOME lip balm. Teeny tiny amount goes a long way. :)

[@annfretz2068]

Also sleep with baby blanket for Josh to use while you rest. Babies have an acute sense of smell.

[@brendabracken6102]

Old labor and delivery nurse here - everyone always forgets chapstick and wants some when they are in labor, so this is my reminder to you:))

[@factsmatter4030]

💡👍

[@Cndnwoman]

Oh 100%

[@brendabracken6102]

Also big no to the cold packs for breast comfort - decreases milk production. Here is what I would suggest: look up perineal ice pads- you can make them ahead and have them in your freezer (pad with water on absorbing side, witch hazel, then freeze flat), snacks, chapstick, ice pops, adult pull up diapers (sounds weird but helps you from bleeding through onto clothes and is more comfortable then the disposable underwear), your own pillows and comfortable throw blankets, and shower things (shampoo, soap, lotion, etc).

[@gabriellecalle8676]

This is truth right here!

[@RealLifeLiz]

Exactly omg thank goodness

[@Theshoemarkable]

I’m a midwife in the UK. I’d go button down pjs if you plan to breastfeed, button down is also easier for other people to help you get changed. Wear a hospital robe to birth in, it’ll get messy. Take your own pillow as you’ll rest better and it’s nice to have your own from home so it smells comforting. Good luck!! You’re going to be such a lovely Mummy 😊

[@bbraskey8521]

Great suggestions. I ended up bringing a black robe just in case of accidental leaking, & was surprised how much bleeding there was postpartum. So thankful I had it.

[@eleanor198302]

@@bbraskey8521 after vaginal births I was expecting lots of blood. Thought of it as 9 months of periods at once. I was really surprised at the amount of blood after a section. I bled for longer, 10 weeks. I was already pregnant again by then after my 1st! Thought they would have sucked it all out lol

[@kimgage4354]

Having my own pillow was the best thing ever!

[@yarnkelly3606]

My postpartum advice: it really is the 4th trimester. Give yourself lots of grace and realize your body and hormones will be making lots of changes. Rest when you can and let others help you. I struggled with letting others do my laundry and clean my house but it really was the best thing I did for myself.

[@heatherbare3198]

All the experienced moms on here thinking back to labor delivery postpartum is so sweet. ❤ I'm also that mom. Becky no one can really prepare you fully, because this is the biggest life game changer and it's different for each of us. But some things are universal. You're on the right track and you're going to do so well! Some things I wish I was told: you'll bleed post partum, a lot. Have lots of pads and assign Josh to bathroom trash duty. Put multiple layers of sheets on the crib with a moisture barrier between. You'll see why. Music. Always music. Accept the help offered, but also tell people it's a burden to assign tasks so they can just do what they see needs done. Most importantly, whatever you feel in the first two or three weeks after birth is normal. Joy fear elation depression, sleep depravation plus a massive hormone shift. And it's ok. It's all going to be ok. The house may be messy, dinner may be late, clothes furniture walls will get dirty. It's all good. Take the time off you need. We're not going anywhere. ❤

[@jillikin_billikin]

Love your reply. So true that everyone is different. I remember my SIL having a go at me about why no one told how lonely it would be after the birth - I thought nothing of it as I just got on with it in my loneliness. I guess, in what you said about feelings are spot on, but I want to extend on what you have said is to make sure to see the GP if anyone is feeling like they have PND symptoms. Don’t listen to people that just say it’s hormones (in many cases yes) but I just want to make sure that PND isn’t stigmatised ❤❤❤

[@pamw5829]

Also Josh may see it before you do, listen to him

[@diamondhair11]

Everyone is different, because you were talking about bleeding...i hardly bled at all after having my babies. I think I may have bled for 3,4 days, and it was a little more than spotting..... so i guess everyone is different. Also I never had the bit of depression, hormonal changes ,..that I could feel... I agree to accept help and yes, tell them whatever they see that needs done. One thing I was so tired after having my babies, so I slept every day for about a week, then was fine. My husband took care of the house, my mom offered to do dishes, wash, for the first week on my 3rd baby. The first 2 babies, I was on my own and hubby helped out marvelous. Why did your furniture, walls get dirty? serious question.

[@heatherbare3198]

Angelina sounds like you had amazing postpartum experiences. That's wonderful! I do wish that for our Becky as well. To answer your question, our babies both had some serious reach when spitting up! Over the shoulder meant down the back and onto the rocker, facing out meant onto the carpet, even the walls once. At least they never puked on the dog! Few near misses though. 😬😂

[@deadnumber1]

Just wanna say that the way you spoke about your child "possibly" having limb differences (Like with his hand) so calmly and accepting is truly a freaking wonder. It's easy **I think*** to catastrophize situations like this, but the way you speak about it with so much love and calm uts a really good example. I'm certain there's people in the audience with limb differences or disabilities that can hear somebody speak about things like this not as a tragedy is really good.

[@jessicabarker6721]

My son was born with microtia. No left ear canal. We had no idea until he was born. He’s perfectly normal and him wearing a hearing aid on left side of head is also normal for us. He is 6, in 1st grade and excels in school. I so miss those newborn baby days! As exhausting as they were 😮

[@sandrajohns58]

From a four time mother and this is not a joke, when you have Bub get Josh to buy a cabbage and put it in the fridge, when your milk comes in and your breasts are engorged and painful place cold cabbage leaves on your breasts to give you relief. It’s a common practice here in New Zealand and believe the relief you get is amazing. All the best to you and Josh for your upcoming birth. Much Aroha (Māori word for love)to you both at this exciting time ❤

[@JanicePhillips]

[@thinkonsuchthings3832]

Cabbage is actually something they recommend at the hospital to dry up your milk.

[@stst9185]

And this retired postpartum nurse and breast feeding counselor agrees ... Pack a couple of PJ's, a robe, your slippers, nursing bras, sports bras, a change of clothes to go home, toiletries, baby clothes and baby blankets. Everything else will be provided to you. Including peri ice packs if needed. Leave complete postpartum kit at home for extra supplies for when u get home. Remember you will only be in the hospital a couple of days if it's a vaginal delivery and three days for an uncomplicated C-section. So pack light! Don't forget your phone charger....and don't forget to take it home....it's the most common item left behind in hospital. If there is a natural oil scent that you like that calms you then bring that to sniff. But MOST importantly....know that you are NOT in control of this process as much as baby is. Let go and let your nurses and doula guide you through your labor. They HAVE done this before...and the have you and your baby's best interest in mind! You're gonna do great Becky. KNOW THAT!! ♥️😘

Becky, as a 70 year old mom, you made me think back 51 years when I went to the hospital to deliver my daughter. My bag was a small suit case with a nightgown, my toothbrush and other toiletries, a set of clothes and cloth diapers to bring the baby home in and a receiving blanket. I had a big baby shower and was given everything else I needed. My water started leaking 6 weeks before she was born. Now, I would have been closely watched by a doctor, but back then they did nothing. I had a dry birth with our daughter and had a long labor. Because she was in the birth canal for a few weeks, she came out with an elongated cone head, but to us, she was the most beautiful baby girl we had ever seen. The nurses showed me how to massage her little head and within only a few days, her little head was just normal. I was in the hospital for 5 days and by the time I brought her home, her poor little skin was shedding like a snake. I was 19 years old and was dumb as dirt, but my baby and I got along just fine. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I also follow Kim and watched her prepare for her precious baby boys birth and as any grandma out there, I was just as anxious awaiting his birth. You and Josh will be wonderful parents. Just take a big breath as you get into this last few weeks and just enjoy each other. Your life is about to change in was that you can’t even imagine. Sending Blessings and so much love your way.💕💕🙏

[@rachelmeade9307]

One random hospital tip I have for you is to pack your own tea bags. You can ask for hot water at the hospital and I found tea to be so calming & comforting during labor.

[@PirouettingFox]

Brilliant!

[@mylovelycrazylife]

When I had my son, I brought my own pillow from home and made sure to have it in a non-white pillow case, so it dodn’t get confused with the hospital ones 🥰 It was so nice to have something familiar. Also, my robe and slippers from home too. My advice, being a first time mom myself, is to know this will be a big change, your whole world will change in ways you never even expected, good and bad, but truly, everything will be alright. I promise. ❤️❤️ You got this Mama ❤️

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Just a tip from a Mom who's "been there" - In preparation for baby's arrival, it's a good idea to ensure you have a car seat for each car or at least 2 bases for the car seat and install one in each vehicle. (Also, practice putting the car seat in it and taking it out again before baby gets here. We strapped in a 5 pound sack of potatoes in the car seat for practice.) Practicing using the buckling mechanisms is also helpful, since each car seat is a little different. Also, a "just in case" diaper bag should be in each car. Think of it as a baby bug-out kit - at least a couple burp cloths, change of clothes for baby, diapers and wipes, and a small blanket in each bag. A bonus would be a bottle of purified water in each bag. This way, if you forget the main diaper bag at any time in the early weeks, you still have baby items for short trips. I also kept a comfortable change of shirt and bra in my emergency bag I kept in my car as long as I was nursing my children, along with some cleansing wipes just in case leakage caught me by surprise.

[@mimiashford5544]

EXCELLENT info...

[@Cynthea_Lee]

HIGHLY agree, I built boxes and refilled them weekly for both cars till all my kids were in K.... diapers swapped out for pull-ups to underwear... it was amazing how often that box 'saved' our bacon, just as we would be pulling into some family's or friends house... or mud puddle on the way out of a store LOL.

[@samiam4846]

[@tigrlady2u]

Don't forget some kind of sealable bag for dirty clothing! You don't want to have to drive around with smelly clothes in the car. A towel for emergency cleanup is a good idea, too.

[@Seaskye]

I remember once we packed the entire car diaper bag, sleep bag, stroller, car seat, play pen for a family event. (baby was only a few weeks old ) then wonder what we had forgotten the BABY! We also had once they were older a bag with a full change of clothing, wipes, etc we called it the Go bag.

[@jamiegoveia7473]

Mom of 5 here-- my hospitals (I delivered at 3) always told me to wear nightgowns, not pj pants, until headed home. They will be checking on you down there often, before and after birth, so pack one or 2 nightgowns, just in case. And even better if it's a nursing nightgown with easy access, or at least buttons on the front. Best wishes to you!

I would also suggest the Lansinoh nipple cream- it was a life saver for me. It’s all very tender the first few weeks and the cream helped from being super sore and cracked/dry and prevented scabbing/infection. Plus it’s safe to put on and immediately feed baby if necessary- no need to wipe it off before feedings. The cold/hot packs you got are great for when your milk comes in! There’s a lot of pressure and those are surely going to come in handy. Also if there’s long periods between feeding/pumping for any reason, it will relieve the discomfort of engorgement. Also when you wean your baby- those are going to be amazing. Just don’t forget to get some of that cream and throw it in your hospital/baby bag! I swore by it when I started breastfeeding! ❤️ so excited for you! Praying for a smooth and safe delivery and happy healthy baby and Mom ❤❤❤

I’m not sure what kind of ingredients are in that cream, but when I had my babies 20+ yrs ago my pharmacist recommended vitamin E capsules. You can poke a hole in the end with a safety pin and squeeze the insides out and OMG that was the best thing ever for sore nipples learning to breastfeed.

As a recent-ish mom, I have a couple of thoughts about your hospital bag! You can TOTALLY take a suitcase. In fact, it might be helpful to have a rolling bag for your husband, who will be carrying in and out a ton of stuff. I didn’t change clothes all that much while I was at the hospital, so you don’t need a bunch of options there. I also didn’t eat any of my snacks, but my husband sure did! Take some shower shoes. Take your own pillow, hair ties, phone chargers, and chapstick. I think those are the most important things.

I also recommend a big bag so that Josh can find what you need easily and quickly for you. Too small a bag is tricky. Definitely bring a robe to the hospital, and socks and slippers since you won't know how hot it cold you may be. Bring a good headband and lots of scrunchies to keep your hair up and also get some Lanolin for nipples. Safe for baby and great to prevent cracking. Look into "pad-scicles" for healing. Disposable or reusable cloth pads (my favorite, order on Amazon) with witch hazel and aloe poured on and then frozen in a ziplock. Great to have at home, but bring your preferred type of pads for at the hospital so you have options other than just the hospital ones.

I yes you don’t need to take much along to the hospital they supply most of what you need

The one thing that I always tell expecting moms is to get a stool softener and start it a week or 2 before your due date. The first poop after giving birth is almost as bad as giving birth itself. You want to be prepared 😂❤

Pack prunes! First time moms always look at me skeptically, but really! 🤣

[@sarahhorton631]

That first poop. 😱 Especially if you have to get stitches!

[@denisenourse8462]

My first poo was so stressful. I was trying to take it slowly because stitches...and my baby started crying, then screaming hungry. My husband had just stepped outside to do something and he couldn't hear us. Poor man came back in to both of us in hysterics. Me, because I wasn't done but I needed to get to my baby and her because she was alone in her bassinet and hungry. 😭 I can *almost* laugh about it now, nearly 12 years later.

[@Ashley-bv4kv]

So excited for you! Just a note I wouldn’t bring those white Jammies to the hospital. I’d save them for maybe a week after birth once things are a little more….settled. You’ve got me wanting #3 already!!!

[@audreyb7890]

One thing that was super helpful was to have my husband pack my bag! He was the one who was getting everything in and out of bags. It was really helpful for him. I would recommend old slippers if you have them, a nursing bra for each day you plan to be there and snacks on snacks! You’ve got this! This little babe will be here before you know it and all that baby needs is love and you!

I honestly recommend getting nursing nightgowns . Totally worth it. Bring whatever you want to the hospital and for the first few weeks post baby, but keep in mind you may decide to toss those items after the first 6 weeks because they will get blood on them . I just washed them but I know everyone feels different. Also please do not take this the wrong way but do not take those white ones with you to the hospital and I would honestly not wear them postpartum for the first couple weeks

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

U can bleach white tho…

[@sharonj7274]

you can also spray hydrogen peroxide on blood stains...it works wonders

[@traceysullivan1123]

Get Tucks! Mainly made of witch hazel, and will help if you end up with hemorrhoids and also you can make what is called a padsickle, and it helps reduce swelling! A game changer! Also you will definitely appreciate a bathrobe in the hospital. I recommend bringing Jammie’s that look like sweats to wear home or loose fitting sweats. You probably won’t use half of what you pack.

[@thedandylionhomestead7088]

Tucks so wonderful! I was so thankful to have them after each delivery.

[@urska444]

While you have time I recommend baking a few loafs of banana bread, slicing them up and freezing individual slices. You can thaw out a piece at time, toast it up on butter or just microwave and it’s a great source of energy in the morning or during night feedings. You could even do it with oats to increase milk supply!

My advice on the breastfeeding is to call the La Leche League before baby comes . Those women are incredible. They will answer all of your questions, and tell you what you need before baby comes and also what you might need in the future. Without them I don't think I could have successfully breast feed my children. Back when I had my children they had a book titled "The Womanly Art Of Breastfeeding". 🙂💕

[@haleyleach6165]

I second the La Leche League. I have a friend who is a part of it and she loves it! Also, playlists- labor, delivery, post-partum, etc for whatever you like- TV shows, podcasts, music, etc! All my Love, Light and Prayers for you Becky and Baby! 💜🙏💛

[@scibotics]

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding 🤱🏻 it was my source of encouragement, I didn’t know anyone who had breastfed, and that little book had all the answers.

[@mattandbarbhartt2860]

[@joyg8904]

Yes, yes, yes! I didn't have the problems the other mother's were having because I followed their advise before birth.

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

I agree!! My mom was a Chapter Leader for Le Leche League. Rode around in our station wagon with a bumper sticker announcing it😳. She helped so many mommas. I specifically remember a mother she helped who was blind and another mother who had twins. So excited for you!!

[@kayeeiland4167]

As a Grandma , one of the things advised when I had my little ones , was to organize the shower gift clothes by size . That way , they are readily available as the babies grow ! Hope this is helpful to you ! Wishing you all good health and much joy !!!

[@morpheuszzz662]

They sell sizers for your closet like in clothing stores which helps with this as well. Good suggestion, Kaye!

[@mischabrinkmeyer6763]

Don't wash or take tags of larger sizes until you are close to needing them. No need to wash 12 month clothing now while you are already so busy with prepping. And sometimes these items end up being regifted as you learn what you like and what your baby feels comfortable in.

[@carla_pittie_mom]

And don’t wash all of your newborn or little ones right off the bat… Just because your ultrasound says you will be having a 7-7.5lb baby, don’t go off that, wait until you meet face to face! The day my nephew was born all three babies in the nursery that afternoon were 2+ pounds larger than the ultrasound had suggested they would be ….They were all from different drs, different offices, different US techs …. Needless to say, my sister had already washed a lot of newborn clothes {onesies, diapers, booties, etc} that my nephew was never able to wear. My mom had to run to the store and see if she could find the same ‘going home’ outfit in a 3-6/6-9 months because he was 10.13.

[@bunni1564]

Lanolin nipple cream!!! Nursing our oldest was supppppper hard for me and no one in my life nursed so I was clueless and had to learn on my own and it was a PAINFUL process! Praying for you and yours! LORD JESUS IS KING OF KINGS!

[@Cynthea_Lee]

THIS !!!!! oh my this many won't tell you but nursing CAN be painful, and dry cracked nipples only make it so much worse, best part is this doesn't hurt the baby... so if you have one like my first born that wanted to eat every hour for less than 10 minutes at a time, you can swab this on, then if it hasn't completely soaked in by the time they want to try again it's ok. That cream and Witch-hazel pads on my pads were my best friends with every birth. If you are nursing best things are shirts that button, or have the hidey holes to make it easier to get the baby to the boob with out having to feel like you are completely getting undressed each time they are hungry.

[@jillmims6263]

FYI- there was Lanolin cream right next to the washable nursing pads you picked up at Target. (I saw it and was screaming "don't forget lanolin!"- LOL)

[@kyliecogzell3012]

Congratulations Becky!! Keep focused and your eye on the prize. The days can be long but soak it up and keep busy. My sweetest moments were the last spent with my little family before it changed- a movie, extra snuggle time with my daughter, a date night. They helped me keep going (I very had rough pregnancies). You’ve got this mama!!!

[@SarahCampeau]

Thank you for baby update. I have 2 pieces of advice for when baby comes, the two that really saved me personally…#1, sleep when baby sleeps. This transition will feel monumental but if you are rested it will help.. #2 advice…keep what works, throw the rest away. Everyone will have advice, some will work, some won’t. Don’t feel obligated. Just Do what works and give yourself grace ( especially with breast feeding). Only advice that is failsafe is sleep when baby sleeps.

[@Cynthea_Lee]

soooooo many don't really understand or do that... with my first I put the baby down and laid down with him... he woke up and I would get up... it was the ONE piece of advice I followed to the letter... mine was up and wanting to feed every 1.5 -2 hrs... so those constant cat naps became my best friend... Hubby did the laundry, hubby did the dishes, hubby did the cooking.... my job was to care for the baby, feed the baby and SLEEP... I cleaned house when baby was 2 months cause by then he miraculously started sleeping through the night and I could function again.

It’s great even for if you are in labor and want to walk because the gowns are open in the back and so nice for after because you can so easily slide it on to get up and move around. Also slippers that are easy to slide on and have good grip on the floor are nice, I also liked having some shower flip flops as well.

This month is quite the exciting unknown for you both!

[@MsK-xm7vw]

Back in the day, they were our salvation. My daughter was born at the Calgary General Hospital in Calgary Alberta Canada in 1980, when breastfeeding was basically a crime. I wanted to nurse her immediately at delivery. They literally stole her from me out of the delivery room, gave her two bottles, and wouldn’t let me see her for seven hours. If it weren’t for Le Leach, I would have been snowballed into bottle feeding. I ended up nursing until my children self-weaned around 3ish. So much has changed.

[@kelliecarson5954]

Yes. Mine came to see me in the hospital. Back when they kept you longer.

[@rhondaduerer9437]

You are going to need more than you think. Kim on the wads is definitely someone I would trust to know what you need for babies. When in the hospital grab as many of the big pads as you can. You will need them along with anything they have for the baby like the bulb syringe and diapers. You paid for it. White is probably not the best choice to wear right after having the baby. 🩸 Most of what’s needed is for mom. Baby just needs diapers. Milk. A place to sleep. Car seat. Some clothes - mostly pjs. Footies with snaps or zippers all the way to the feet. Sheets. Three is a good number with pads. You can layer them on the bed that way any accidents in the middle of the night you strip them off and throw in the wash. Quick and easy. You will learn quickly and be a great mom. Congratulations and many blessings for all of y’all.

[@rhondaduerer9437]

Fed is best! Whatever way you choose and is best for y’all is what you should do. I tried breastfeeding with all 3 of mine. I contacted everyone for help including la Le he league with no help. My son was 7.7 at birth and lost till 5.10. We were both miserable. Finally formula is what saved us. My middle one got jaundice. Formula got him through that quickly. My third I had post eclampsia. High blood pressure after birth along with mastitis. It never worked for me. Don’t put extra pressure on yourself if you have any problems. Fed is best! All 3 of my kids are healthy! 23, 19, and 12. Good luck. Breastfeeding is hard. People make it look easy. I even took classes. It’s really hard.

A fun tip is to bring your own pillow with a special pillow case. A lot of the first pictures will be of you in the bed with baby. The pillow is a fun backdrop. A different pillowcase for each baby also helps distinguish the pictures for each baby if that makes sense.

I had not even a turkey for Christmas Day. Family all helped. I look back and it was the best time. I am the most organised person you will ever meet.

[@crishertel]

Loved seeing your excitement for the upcoming birth of your baby. As a labor and delivery nurse, here is my advice. Relax and breath. Enjoy these last few weeks. Don’t take the white sleep set, you will just bleed through on it. They will feed you. They will give you pads and disposable undies. They will also give you a squirt bottle for peri care. You will only need ice for 24 hrs. The washable breast pads were well worth the money, get more. The breastfeeding bra is very cute. I suggest that you order some breastfeeding tops from Amazon. They are worth the money. You are going to rock this labor and delivery thing. Praying for you to have a safe healthy delivery for you and your baby. Have a blessed week.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

They feed u garbage. Bring food. Bad tears, alot of stitches need ice longer than a day. I was swollen several days. I couldn’t even walk upright after my 1st, from pushing 3 1/2 hrs (sunnyside up baby), for 48 hrs. I doubled over n walked hunched up. I did it again my 2nd baby for a day but the babies after that, I was ok within a few hrs.

[@crishertel]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah so sorry you had such a rough time and so many stitches. I wish I could have taken care of you. We could have done ice filled gloves and placed the fingers of the glove right on your stitches. We also could have done iced site baths for the first 24 hours. That would have gave you a deeper pain relief for a longer time than an ice pack. After the 24 hours of ice; I would have switched you to warm site baths. these increase the blood flow to the area. This increased blood flow will pull the fluid causing the swelling back into the blood stream and out of the interstitial spaces. There is a anti-inflammatory foam that can be used 3 times a day, and when placed on a tucks pad can help tremendously. Praying you have a much better delivery and recovery on your next go around. God Bless!

I’m not able to have children and living this experience vicariously is a blessing ❤
