| The big question….should you find out or not? While many new parents can’t wait to find out the sex of their baby, others are happy to wait. It’s one of the true surprises in life, they say. However having a “surprise” baby can prove a bit challenging when decorating the nursery. If you don’t love neutrals or yellow and green, you may be at a loss for what to do in the room. At the very least, choose furniture in a neutral color, especially if you are having your first baby. Ideally, you’ll pass on the furniture to baby No. 2. You can then wait to decorate the nursery or…come see us at baby coco. We have a solution for surprises! You can sit down with us and choose boy bedding and accessories and girl bedding and accessories. Bring us the doctor’s note revealing the sex in a sealed envelope. We’ll open it and order the right stuff for you! We’ll have you put down a flat deposit, so there is no hint of the gender. We’ll hold everything for you until the baby arrives and then make delivery or pickup arrangements when the special day arrives! We take this secret very seriously–our staff knows that telling is a firing offense! But we’d never tell anyway. It’s always exciting waiting for you to find out for yourself! If you’d still like to find out, check out ohdeedoh for fun ways to share the news with family and friends.

Are you gym-phobic? I am. I have the hardest time getting motivated to go to the gym to exercise. I feel self-conscious, I can’t find anyone to help me, child-care is questionable or non-existent. I would much rather exercise at home but it is hard to get started and stay in a routine. I am so thankful to have met Tatum Rebelle of Total Mommy Fitness! She came over to my house and showed me how to get a great workout at home. She showed me how to do various exercises correctly and safely. She incorporated some of my own equipment–an exercise ball, resistance band and free weights–and helped me to use them effectively. After our initial meeting, she emailed my personalized workout regimen! I love that I can call her or email her if I have questions. I also really like receiving her email newsletters with healthful hints. I am determined to get in better shape in 2009! Visit Total Mommy Fitness to schedule your own home session! |
