Love Bug Milestone: 56 Bundles!

As a new mother, I pay a lot of attention to milestones. Well, today we passed the halfway mark toward the goal of delivering 100 Love Bug Bundles in 2009! We have delivered 56 bundles containing a total of 263 items.

I especially thank the sweet, generous, and supportive donors who gave in honor of Mother’s Day!

Today we hosted a baby shower at the Magnolia Clinic of El Centro de Corazón. Marisa taught first aid for infant CPR and choking, and I taught the 5 S’s and demonstrated swaddling. Afterward, the mothers played a fun version of hot potato...tossing a diaper to reggaeton music…SO FUN!

The 20 bundles this month included:
· 1 newborn clothing item
· 1 pack of wash cloths or 1 bib
· 1 set of outlet covers and cabinet lock
· 1 bottle of lavender lotion
