New parent? Let's get one thing straight: there's no perfect parent in the world, but you can be the best mom or dad for your baby by making healthy choices for yourself, your baby, and your partner. Being kind to yourself is just one of the ways you can ensure your baby is getting the kind of parent he/she needs. Read more about the "5 Things Every New Mom and Dad Should Do". It's a three minute read and will help you feel better prepared for the early mornings, stinky diapers, and important conversations you'll have if you're co-parenting. https://wehelpyou.org/newparents/

"Knowledge is power and ignorance weakness" is a well-known statement coined by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States in the early 1800's. Yet it rings true even in our ever-changing society today. You've got options. Know about each of them. Abortion is an option, but you've got three others. Let's talk.

Our first week of Earn While You Learn classes started on Tuesday, but before Covid-19 we were offering our classes every Thursday at 2pm. They were so popular we had more than 15 attendees nearly every week! Now, our volunteers are back teaching classes, though to a limited number of students. We're all still wearing masks, but we thought you would all enjoy seeing our wonderful volunteers' big smiles. They've been anxiously awaiting for this day to come! :) Charlotte (on t...he left) has been our volunteer assistant teacher for 6 years, checking for students' homework, assigning new homework, and awarding Baby Bucks to students. Liz (on the right) is one of our EWYL teachers that comes in on Thursdays to help with facilitate the classes and students get prepared for their baby's birth! Today, we're learning about pregnancy milestones. Sign up for a class by calling (661)326-1907.

I think we're all a bit motivated after reading this.

Having second thoughts about your pregnancy? There are safe options like Safe Surrender, a law that was enacted in 2001 to protect babies up to 72 hours after birth from abandonment. If you or a loved one is considering Safe Surrender you can do so legally and safely. No questions asked.

Can you spot the happy faces and newborn babies in these pictures? Thirty three women showed up for our quarterly baby shower, and this time it was super hero themed! Some volunteers and staff dressed up as their favorite super hero to hand out mommy, daddy and baby gifts!

Have you signed up for a class this week? Call us to start learning and earning! We're so excited to see you! :)

Don't forget, moms and dads! Our parenting classes start back up in the Earn While You Learn classroom on Tuesday at 10.

These are some good questions to get answered on a Thursday morning. What do you think prenatal care is and have you thought about its importance? As much support as you might have from family and friends, you got to get the support of your doctor too. Make sure you're getting good prenatal care and find out why you need it by visiting our blog. We just uploaded one and it's all about getting those questions answered. https://wehelpyou.org/should-i-get-prenatal-care/
