How cute is this? I decided I need to add to my Seacats line, so I added these
preemie signs to my
online store recently!
And if you need it in
pink,
no problem! = )
I am working on a new Seacats book, but with my novels and a commissioned book coming up, my pace is kind of slow. I will let you know as I progress, though!
Thanks for dropping by!

You know, I laugh when I hear people say that putting up
a Wash Your Hands Sign is "silly" and that germs are "good" for newborn immune systems. I can assure you, whoever says these things never walked into a hospital nursery—at least, not in this day and age—or simply doesn't remember what they make you do
the instant you get there, before having any contact with your own baby!
When my daughters were born, my husband and I would, of course, visit the nursery often. And the
first thing they make you do is wash your hands — and I mean
wash them, practically scraping the top layer of skin off under hot water, with sterilized soap, for a full 60 seconds (our hospital had a timer). And, may I add, my daughters were not
premies, they were born healthy!
Newborns and germs DON'T mix. They are very fragile, they can't regulate their body temperature well, and getting sick and/or a fever while so small is
extremely serious! I am not saying this to merely sell you something — this is a fact!
The minute we left the
hopital and went out in public (I had to buy a few things I hadn't anticipated on), people tried to touch! "How cute!!! How old is she?" They'd reach for her and they'd play 20 questions. The questions were fine; but the
touching really bothered me, especially since I'm not the confrontational type.
I've seen some people attach hand
sanitizer to car seats
... well, try to get away with only applying hand sanitizer in a hospital nursery
... they'll laugh you out of the room! The fact of the matter is,
people should NOT be touching your baby! You don't know where their hands have been, and face it — you're not going to ask!
YOU NEED A BABY SIGN!
A car seat sign should be on your packing list for the hospital. You absolutely have to have it! Because people love newborns, they have the misconception that germs are "good" for your newborn or preemie (or maybe they just don't think about it), and they like to touch, often without even asking or before you can say
no.
If you haven't had this problem, consider yourself blessed — and don't count on it never happening!

As many of you know, my 2nd daughter was born in early 2011. It was such an exciting time in my life! I'd waited so long for a perfect little baby and there she was! So pretty and so cute, all I wanted to do was cuddle and play with her. Well, it turns out I wasn't alone.
I had to leave the house (for groceries, and not to mention my sanity) and when I did, baby obviously had to go. Before long, I realized I had an annoying little problem that just kept getting bigger as baby did: PEOPLE!
People with dirty hands!
People we did not know!
People who were visibly sick!!!
People wanting to touch my precious little baby! As a complete germaphobe, I was TERRIFIED! When a cashier at the supermarket came over to play with her during flu season - and tried to KISS HER HAND - it was the last straw! I now hated leaving the house with my baby. I did not want to risk getting her sick. I am a polite person, and I did not want to offend people by saying "Back off!" Which is what they deserved. I asked other moms how they told people to leave their babies alone, and it seemed my problem was very common and equally annoying to all. Their advice? A) be rude for my kid's sake, B) lie about food allergies or C) stay at home!
Well, that was a no-brainer! I chose: C) stay at home!
Just Kidding!
Early in 2012, I had another baby girl. Now I was going out with not one but TWO very cute, playful babies. As I suspected, the problem did not get better; it got worse. As politely as possible, I'd tell people not to touch due to food allergies. (Can you imagine if they had food allergies? Those poor kids with peanut allergies, you don't know who just had a peanut butter sandwich and is now touching your baby!) But it didn't work. Often I would be "too late" and they already touched my kid before I even opened my mouth. What to do!
Well, I am an artist, after all. So I created an illustration, had it professionally printed and assembled a sign to put near my baby. And what happened? NO ONE TOUCHED!
AT ALL! I tested this sign out for an entire month! While people commented on how cute and clever it was, and even went out of their way to read it, NOT ONCE did someone attempt to touch my baby! That's it, problem solved! No worries about being rude and no worrying about dirty hands - I let the sign do all the work, and it was great to
finally stop worrying about it!
From the first day I put my sign to use, people with babies and LOTS of pregnant ladies have asked where they can get one. Well now you can get one here!
I seriously can not think of a single parent in the whole world this would not be useful for! This would make a great baby shower gift, too. Unless you are a complete hermit crab who never leaves home, you NEED this! Trust me, I know from experience!
