Ava was born June 24th 2016 at 9:45 am. Weighing in at 7 lbs 6 oz, she was born absolutely perfect in every way. I always wanted to bank cord blood, however I never had the chance to with my three older children. Cord blood banking is still fairly new to me, but it's crucial that I try to educate other mothers and fathers on the topic. Which is why I decided to write this sponsored post for LifeBankUSA.



We chose to delay cord clamping by a couple minutes. Did you know that there is still enough blood left in the still pulsating cord and placenta to bank? You get the best of both worlds! I banked the rest of Ava's cord blood and I couldn't be happier. It's an amazing investment, and well worth every penny. If you can afford to bank your babies cord blood, you absolutely should give it some thought. Cord blood banking is near and dear to my heart. It is crucial for science and for our babies futures.

What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are the building blocks of the body’s blood, tissues, and organs. They have the ability to transform into other types of cells and replenish themselves as needed.1 Stem cells can be used to replace other cells in the body that are abnormal or have been destroyed by disease.1 In fact, stem cell transplants have already become the standard of care for many life-threatening blood disorders.
