‘Big’ advice for a new momma to be: When we have a new baby, we need help. Americans are not good at asking for or receiving help. Part of the problem is that our society see babies as adorable accessories and not many people pay attention to what the new mom and baby truly need. Have special friends or family members plan a meal train, help with household duties/older children, and anything that will allow you to stay in bed with your precious babe. Leave a cooler on your porch for the loving people that will drop off meals. You are not obligated to let everyone in your circle visit and hold the baby. Let your tribe know that it will be a few weeks before they will meet the baby as you rest, establish feeding and sleep. (Your partner can post/email pictures if they must see your little one). Those first few weeks are a sacred space when you and your partner (and your other children) will bond with this new little soul joining your family. Please don't be afraid to protect this space fiercely. It is the only time you will have these "first weeks" with this child. Enjoy them! Ignore any expectations that could disrupt that space. Let those that love you help, because you, your partner and your baby deserve to be supported during this time.

Do you have a special promotion for those visiting you online from mirandalsober.com?: Of course. Please enjoy $25 off an initial visit for the new patients that mention Miranda L. Sober Photography.

I recently had the opportunity to create a frame display for Womb for Growth, and couldn't be more thrilled (check out this iPhone photo)! Look for these images during your next visit, and be sure to pick up a Miranda L. Sober Photography business card!

local business feature | nuhni blanket co.

I recently had the opportunity to meet the amazing founders of Nuhni Blanket Co., Dave and Christine. It all began when they volunteered together helping at risk kids in New England, New Hampshire. Once they were married, they made the choice to move to Austin, Texas where they worked at an emergency shelter together for 5 years. Together they worked with children that were the victims of rape, abuse, neglect, runaways and teen mothers. Through this experience Dave and Christine realized that they could make a difference by creating a socially conscious business that gives back to those in need. They now live here in Fort Collins, providing high quality products perfect for your little ones! Business Name: Nuhni Blanket Co.
