Baby Fest is Coming to CTMC 7/22!

Whether you are a first time expecting mother or one who is expecting again, you won't want to miss the Baby Fest at the Central Texas Medical Center in San Marcos this Sunday, July 22nd. I went when I was pregnant with my youngest two years ago, and it was such a great experience.

There are several exhibitors that give out every piece of information you can think of for an expecting mother. Some of the exhibitors include Pediatricians, Women's Services, OBGYN's, Nutritionists and many more! For more information and to see a list of the exhibitors click here. You can also register for door prizes and take home some goodies for you and your new little one.

This is such a fun and informative event, I highly recommend going if you're expecting!
