If you've had a baby here in Whatcom County, chances are good that you've been lucky enough to cross paths with the Mother Baby Center at some point. They are a blessing to parents - and children - in our area.
When Joy was born, I had a terrible time nursing her. Is this a familiar story? I couldn't get her to latch properly. She was hungry. I was tired. She got hungrier. I got more tired. And breastfeeding became more and more difficult. The Mother Baby Center sent over a lactaction consultant; a woman who specializes in tired new moms who are having nervous breakdowns because they can't feed their brand new babies.
And when I had my second baby, I went there to find parts for my breastpump. And nursing bras big enough to fit (believe me, I couldn't find them anywhere else, I'll just leave it at that).
I know it's rare that I'm very serious about anything, but here's something I'm serious about. The Mother Baby Center has been in financial straits recently - and they need our support. I want to be in the front lines. I'll be supporting their upcoming auction on November 7th. If you can, I know that it will make a huge difference for families in our community.
Thank you, Mother Baby Center!!
