Sherri's "Hot Picks" and what every mom should know about.
Let's face it. Babies don't come with instruction manuals and every baby is different. I have learned alot from my first child over 9 years ago to my youngest born April 2008. Every mom will have their own idea of what is great and things that they wish they knew about. The maternity boutique made me realize that info should be shared. Take the info and do your own research for what works for you. We are women and always have our own opinions about everything!
Enjoy.

Pregnancy Portraits
Capture the essence of pregnancy or the newborn pictures of your baby. These are not things that you can have a DO-OVER on. Once they are gone, you can't go back in time. I would highly recommend Carmen Wilson photography. She works with pregnant and new moms all around the Greater Bay Area. Tell her that we sent you. www.carmenwilson.com
This is one of my personal pictures from my photo shoot at 30 weeks pregnant. I felt like I was the most beautiful person in the world. My husband loved all the pictures.
3d/ 4D Ultrasounds & Maternity Spa
Look Who's Kickin Ultra Sounds- They have many locations around the Greater Bay Area. I personally used the one in Wesley Chapel and the experience is unforgettable. My kids got to meet their baby brother before he was even born. I had mine at 28 weeks and went back at 30 weeks for a better picture at the Wesley Chapel location. They staff was so personable! I am so glad that i had it done. www.Lookwhoskickin.com

Doula Services
Touched By An Angel- http://www.angeldoula.com . I used Stefany with my last birth experience in April 2008 and it was the most enjoyable out of all of them. I learned that a doula can be used with moms having a unmedicated or medicated birth experience. Definately worth the consult to learn more.
Safe and eco friendly pest control
With small children and crawlers (I don't mean bugs), you should really think twice about companies that spray. I would strongly recommend Emergency Pest Patrol. I have found that they use pet and child friendly products. Check out the website www.emergencypestpatrol.com or call 813-933-1911
