Everett received a package in the mail from Cord Blood Registry yesterday. It was an adorable peekaboo book, called "Where is Baby's Belly Button?". With the book he received a card wishing him a "Happy Birthday!".
For those of you who dont know about cordblood, it's the blood that remains in a baby's umbilical cord after the cord has been cut. Doctors discovered this blood is like bone marrow that can be used in medical treatments. Read more here at CBR.
Additionally, CBR also has a referral program, if you know anyone who is pregnant, share the importance of cord banking (more info can be found at http://www.cordblood.com/).
Should they decide to use CBR, (and no one else has asked them to use them as a referral), please have them reference "Deona Jordan". Doing so, will credit our account with one free year of storage.
So with all that said, we think the surprise package they sent Everett for this 1st birthday, was not only a sweet gesture, but very fitting.
