"From Pregnancy to Labor and Delivery
& Beyond..."
June 2008
Hello Everyone!

Diane Ellen
Welcome to the JUNE 2008
e-newsletter!  
 
First of all...on June 15th...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAYto all my fathers and fathers-to-be!  Do you remember the moment you became a Father???  Did you cut the cord?  Do you remember how you felt when they told you "it's a boy" or "it's a girl"?  Do you remember what it felt like when you held your baby for the very first time??? How about the first time you told someone outside the hospital "I just had a baby!" (as if we didn't know from the funny bracelet you wore around your wrist)!  Remember changing your first dirty diaper?  Was it like my fat-free pudding one from class?  Or worsehehe... How great to be a Father! 

Do you remember the first time you read to your child?  One of my favorite authors is Harry H. Harrison, Jr.  and he writes little books with large life lessons on raising a boy or a girl.  In Father to Son he writes "Teach him patience, kindness, and tolerance.  If you don't, many years from now you'll wish you had".  In Father to Daughter he writes "Take part in her life now.  Don't wait until she's 15 to try and develop a relationship."  Each book is filled with over 300 thoughts to encourage and reassure Dad to guide, to remind, to teach and to inspire your son or daughter.    Moms, a great gift for Dad.  Dads, go treat yourselves!  You deserve it!  Fathers-to-be, read now while you have time!  That's my pick gift for Fathers or Fathers-to-be on Father's Day!!! 

Hope you all have a great day!

Emergency Phone# ~ National CPR Week ~ Plastic Baby Bottles

EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION
FL DMV~ Did you know that you can put
2 emergency contacts on your Florida Driver's License which can only be retrieved by a police officer?  This came about as a result of one woman's teenage daughter being killed in a car accident and it took over 5 hours to locate the mother to tell her.  This way, if you are ever in an accident, the police can run the driver's license and have the emergency information ASAP---PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD BENEFIT! Thank you to my former client for this great information!

CPR ~ June 2-6 is National CPR Awareness Week!
cpr teddy In honor of National CPR Week I am offering 10% OFF ANY CPR TEACHING AIDE (includes booklet, infant kit, or CPR Teddy)!  How are your CPR skills doing???  Call today to take a CPR class in your home!  Purchase one of the CPR products listed to the side and be able to practice your CPR skills wherever and whenever you want!  Would you know what to do? 


PLASTIC BABY BOTTLES ~
Plastic Baby BottleOkay...so many of you have asked about the plastic baby bottle controversey.  Click on the photo to the left to go watch an informative clip.  What is BPA?  Why do they think it is it dangerous?  Here is a general guide:  BAD= Bottles that have a #7 on their recycling label; GOOD= Bottles that have a #2, #4, #5 do not have BPA.  Hum...what about glass?  I think I like good old reliable glass.
  "When in doubt, go glass???"
For now, the
American Academy of Pediatrics has not taken a formal stand on the issue -- leaving it up to parents to decide what's best for their families. 

Logo Car Seat Safety Car Safety for Children

In the June 9th issue of People Magazine, there is an article entitled "Grief Beyond Words." (pages 83-84).  This article discusses ways of preventing tragedy involving children and backovers.  May was a particularly tragic month for children being hit by vehicles (backovers and frontovers).  During the first 2 weeks of May alone, at least 13 children lost their lives all over the country.  ("Normal" average is 2 deaths per week).  There have also been many more incidents where children have been critically injured.  Please help raise awareness about these predictable and preventable tragedies.  Simply "assume" a child is behind or in front of your car every time you move it.  Please visit www.KidsAndCars.org for other precautions that can save lives!

*PLEASE SIGN UP FOR CAR SAFETY FOR CHILDREN CLASS!  I cannot stress how important it is to learn as much as possible about the newborn car seat...but of equal importance are the 4-8 year old's safety.  Dear readers, we are not doing well with this group of children and their booster seats.  The workshop is only 3-4 hours, inexpensive...and EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to your children.  PLEASE...come spend a few more hours with me!  Bring a friend, neighbor, family member.  Are you in charge of others' children?  Do you carpool and drive other people's children?  Please...if not for yourself, do it for them!  Please come to class!

PRODUCT:Best Chair
    *I love this chair from Best Chairs!  Sat in it last week...
and I didn't want to get out of it!  Soft! Comfortable!  Can't say
enough!  My client chose the
"Irvington1" Swivel Rocker
Recliner (Item# 5MW35)
with Sandlewood chenille and
added armrest covers.  Seen at USA Baby and Baby Love.  Only took them ~ 2weeks to deliver.  If you are in the neighborhood...go sit on one!  Bet you love it too!


GREAT MEAL IDEA:
   
*Mr. Food No-Fuss Meals Here to help you...You Deliver...They Deliver!  From just before your due date until after your baby arrives, they assemble ready-to-cook, family sized meals then waive the assembly fee and deliver them right to your door for three months.  What a great idea!  And the food is deelish!  For more information please call Wendy at 561.750.3273 or email [email protected] and tell her Diane sent you. 

GRAND OPENING...ATTENTION PARENTS WITH OLDER CHILDREN:

     
*Student Den:  For the very first time, there is an alternative place for students to do their homework...The Student Den allows students to complete their homework assignments in a quiet, supportive environment with minimal distractions.  Students become accountable and responsible, and take pride in their accomplishments.  Please go visit them in the Boca Greens Shopping Plaza on 441 between Glades and Yamato or call 561.488.6360
Ask for Barton Charlip.  Great idea!  Great people!  Great results!
