Houston BIRTH Fair 2009

We had a great time this past Saturday at the Houston BIRTH Fair! It was great to see so many moms, dads, moms & dads to be, and kids checking out all the great birth and beyond resources Houston has to offer. I met lots of wonderful vendors and professionals as well! It was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to next year already!

I was privileged to share a booth with Jamie from Hypnobirthing Experiences. If you are in the Houston metro and looking into Hypnobirthing, please check out Jamie's website. We had a great table location, right across from the main entrance. My wonderful husband stayed up late with me the night before working out our booth set up and packing up all the diapers, slings, and accessories. For my first time as a vendor, I think it came together pretty well. I learned a lot, though, and now know what to expect for next time.

This was at the end of the day...Lincoln was a less than willing model at this point : )

Thanks to everyone who came by our booth! It was great to meet you!

Houston BIRTH Fair

Mark your calendars! The Houston BIRTH Fair is just around the corner! This is a free, day long event sponsored by B.I.R.T.H. (bringing information and resources to Houston) dedicated to educating families to everything related to pregnancy, birth, and beyond! I participated last year in the fashion show as a pregnant model. It was a last minute decision based on the fact that they were desperate from a lack of volunteers (because honestly, who wants to parade themselves around in front of crowds of people when you are twice your normal size, your feet are swollen, and the clothes you are being asked to wear may or may not fit?). So, below is one of the few pics I am willing to share from my modeling debut. My friend Tasha was also roped into participating as a pregnant model (actually, that's how we met...), but lucky for her, I don't have any pictures of her from the show : )

This year, I will not be revisiting my modeling days (whew!), but I will be there as a vendor! If you are in the local Houston area, I hope you'll come by the fair and visit the baby, naturally LLC booth! Here are the details:
