Happy New Year! Thanks to your support and Thrivent Action Team volunteers, we brought a New Year’s Eve celebration to St. Mary’s yesterday, including:
🎊 Snacks for nurses, doctors, and staff in Women’s Health units. Since they’re working on the holiday, we bought some sparkling cider to make it a bit more festive!
🎊 Care packages for all antepartum patients
🎊 Sparkling cider for each NICU room and snacks in their family lounge

We are so grateful to YOU our Mightiest Mamas community for supporting us all year. We can’t wait to continue encouraging St. Mary’s patients and staff in 2026. 🎉

It’s ok if you’re not feeling merry and bright for the holidays, or ANY day of the year for that matter.

💜 If you are grieving the loss of a child or other family member, the smiling faces of others may feel unbearable. We see you.

💜 If you are experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss, hearing a pregnancy announcement from a family member may feel exquisitely painful and unfair. We have been there.

💜 If you have a baby in the NICU and are torn between visiting the hospital or celebrating with others, either choice is valid.

💜 If you are hospitalized and scared about your prognosis, our thoughts are with you.

💜 If you experienced a traumatic birth, you may feel grief and anger when others remind you to be grateful for your baby. Gratitude does not erase the pain.

💜 If everything feels hard with postpartum or seasonal depression or anxiety, we have had seasons like that too.

If you aren’t feeling the holiday spirit for any reason at all, it’s ok to have celebrations that may look different this year. You are not alone.

On Saturday, we had some fantastic moments at St. Mary's, spreading joy and holiday cheer on the antepartum floor and in the NICU!

🎁 All antepartum patients and NICU parents received a care package and cozy winter blanket.
🧺 Antepartum, NICU, L + D, and Well Baby nurses received a basket of snacks and beverages.
🛋️ The NICU lounge was decorated and fully stocked with snacks, quick meals, drinks, and sticker activity sheets.

And, last but certainly not least-- 🎅 Santa spent three hours with us visiting families and spreading Christmas magic everywhere he went!

Together, we created a comforting pause in the grief and stress of hospitalization during the holidays and filled that space with kindness, fellowship, and hope.

This is our EIGHTH Christmas event with St. Mary's. We are so thankful for our volunteer team, community partners, and individual donors' ongoing support.

If you’re hospitalized before having a baby, it comes with learning lots of new lingo! We often mention that we bring care packages to antepartum, but what does that mean?

Antepartum means the period before childbirth. This is also the department at St. Mary’s where patients go if they need to be hospitalized while pregnant, and currently it also includes patients recovering from a recent surgery like a hysterectomy.

Our founder Tara was hospitalized multiple times during her pregnancy, and one of the hardest parts was when it was over a holiday. We always say there is never a good time to be in the hospital, but it has a little extra sting when you are missing out on holiday plans with family and friends, which is why we focus on bringing care packages on holidays throughout the year. We hope to bring a moment of encouragement and joy on an otherwise stressful day at the hospital.

💜 Help us reach our goal this year to being antepartum care packages to St. Mary’s patients: https://givebutter.com/MightiestMamasholiday2025
