Barb was seven months pregnant with her third.
child. Last August, when Barb and Hugh were -
visiting here from London and contemplating a
move, Hugh "just loved it!” Barb adds, “I'm glad.
my home town made a good impression."

The dream of having a combined maternity and
baby wear retail outlet finally came to fruition with
the name (Barb has often said to baby Samuel,
"Well, it’s you ’n’ me, baby."), the slogan “for
mummies to be and babies ’til 3" created by Hugh,
and a buying trip to Vancouver in March. Barb and
Samuel thoroughly explored and investigated a
Women’s and Children’s Wear Market. She tried to
buy as many Canadian-made products as -she
could, Recently the shipping boxes started to arrive
and You ’n’ Me, Baby was "born". _

As a new mum to Samuel, now four and a half
months old, Barb says she’s realized the need to
provide a comfortable atmosphere for pregnant
women and women with newborns. You 'n’ Me,
Baby offers a feeding area and change station, so__
busy mums don’t have to rush home to feed or
change their little ones. A small picnic table and a
supply of toys and colouring supplies will also. be
available for older children accompanying their
mum. |
