MEDBASICS at LA Baby & Tween Celebration

Luke and I left for LA last Friday night. The tradeshow was Saturday and Sunday, we visited friends on Monday and flew back Tuesday. All in all it was a wonderful whirlwind of a trip. 

We had a lot of fun at the show. We met so many interesting people which was my favorite part of being there. I loved, loved, loved our "neighbors" at the tradeshow. To our left was eight3one- hippest, coolest infant/toddler clothes!  Oliver was the big winner as I came home with a bag full of cute shirts for him to wear this summer and next fall. On the other side of our booth was Marta Perrone. What an amazing lady. She matches nannies with families in the LA area and is an invaluable resource to all you girls in LA. Another favorite of mine was meeting Brandi Rouse, MSW with the cradle company. She is a dynamic woman who provides moms with pediatric sleep consultations, doula & nanny placements, childbirth education and mom & baby groups. Two other helpful women I met are Alicia Sexton and Samantha Marquis. Both of these women help expecting mothers plan and be ready for the birth of your baby. If you are a mom in the LA area, seriously look these women up- I promise your life will be better for it! I could go on because there really were so many exceptional women there but the last part of my story says I should say goodnight. We arrived back in NY to 2 sick boys. Nico with a sore throat and Ollie with a high temp. Very little sleep last night as Oliver had fever dreams and I can only expect the same tonight as his last temp reading was 103.5. So, I'll keep this short and try to grab a few zzz's before my night shift starts. Once a nurse, always a nurse but I wouldn't have it any other way.
