Our little boy is expected on 2/22/08 and we would definitely get the most use out of the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System, I have heard wonderful things about the product and the benefits of it while pregnant and effects after baby arrives.

Posted by: Rebecca at Sep 26, 2007 8:47:10 AM

My HEDD (trying to conceive now) is June 10, 2008.

I think I will get the most use out of the Baby Kaed, Avi-U diaper bag. I currently have a 16 month old, and am constantly on the go. I never leave the house without my diaper bag, but it's just that, a diaper bag. I love that the Baby Kaed Avi-U diaper bag doesn't look like a diaper bag, yet has all the compartments and storage that I would need. You never know what you are going to need when you are out with a baby, and this bag will definitely hold it all!

Posted by: Erin C. at Sep 26, 2007 8:49:15 AM

I'm actually throwing my hat into the ring, so to speak, for my "baby" sister (she's 33, hard to call her the baby anymore). She's due with her second on December 23rd and is the most deserving momma that I can think of. And - she's having a girl (and so excited, her first is a boy and he doesn't want her to put curlers in his hair so she's seriously missing out on doing her child's hair). I can see her using the diaper bag the most, but all of the items would be so useful!!

:-)Kim

Posted by: Kim at Sep 26, 2007 8:52:01 AM

We're expecting our number 3 on October 11th! He will be our first boy. I think we will get the most use out of the Crib Rock Couture gift(how hip and cool their stuff is!), but really everything will get a lot of use, as we're "starting fresh" after having two girls! Most of the things we have saved from previous pregnancies and infancies is pretty girly! :) My oldest daughter, age 6, says "This pink stuff will make him throw up!"...which we think is pretty funny. It would be a welcome way to update our baby arsenal. Thanks for the consideration!

Posted by: Sam Budak at Sep 26, 2007 8:52:34 AM

My EDD is April 20, 2008 and I am expecting twins. I think the HappyBaby book would be most useful, because I want to raise my kids eating organic foods.

Posted by: Patty at Sep 26, 2007 8:52:34 AM

This is an amazing collection of wonderful products! I am due 4.22.08 (too soon to know the sex) with my second child and this fantastic gift bag would be an incredible present. I think I'd probably get the most enjoyment out of the Hip To Be Square Double Sided Personalized Pendant Necklace - I know I'd wear it all day, every day, and I'd love to personalize both sides for my two children! But I'd probably get the most USE out of the Chic&Carry™ Wristlet by Chic Tots - perfect for carrying just a few diapers and wipes for on the go emergencies! What an opportunity!! Good luck to all.

Posted by: Mimi at Sep 26, 2007 8:55:00 AM

We are due with our 2nd child on May 24, 2008. We do not yet know the gender, and are hoping for a happy, healthy brother or sister for our 2 year old toddler.
I think I, personally, would get the most use out of the Baby Kaed, Avi-U diaper bag. Just being on-th-go with one child necessitates lots of odds and ends, as all Moms know! Everything from diapers and wipes to the faux cell phone and the cheerio bucket.....it seems as though we never have enough room for everything!

Posted by: Lauren at Sep 26, 2007 8:55:46 AM

Well, I am pregnant now with my second... and my third! With these new babies due in March, I think a gorgeous diaper bag like the Baby Kaed would be a great way to cart around all the baby gear I'm going to have. And I am going to have LOTS!

Posted by: Sara at Sep 26, 2007 8:55:53 AM

I am due on October 4th and I am having a boy.
I would get the most use out of the diaper bag.
I am having baby number three and have never had a diaper bag!! With three babies comes some time for organization so I think it is time to use a bag that is actually made for a baby!

Posted by: Melissa at Sep 26, 2007 8:57:48 AM

The Baby Kaed Avi-U diaper bag would be the most useful to me. I am expecting my fourth child November 22nd (a girl, Clementine!) and I will be returning to work, with her in tow, nine weeks later. I teach poetry to middle and high schoolers and will have to lug several books as well as all of Clem's necessities. It seems like a tough little diaper bag, which is always important for how much walking and bumping we New Yorkers do on a daily basis.

Posted by: Rachel at Sep 26, 2007 9:07:12 AM

My due date is June 1, 2008. This will be our third baby and we are so over the top excited. We would love all of these gifts so much as our previous items are a little worn out. I would use absolutely everything!!
Please pick us, thanks!

Posted by: Natalie at Sep 26, 2007 9:10:43 AM

i would get the use out of everything but mainly the diaper bag. i'm due with my third child on 12/6/07. i have a 1 and 2 year old so i need lots of diaper space.

my birthday is 9/28
i hope i win

Posted by: brandy walleshauser at Sep 26, 2007 9:19:30 AM

I'm due March 8...and don't know the sex. From what experienced moms tell me, I will certainly get great use out of the Baby Kaed diaper bag, since I'll apparently need to carry a truckload of baby stuff around daily!

Posted by: Erin at Sep 26, 2007 9:27:41 AM

I just found out that I'm pregnant with baby #2! My EDD is 5/25/08. I would get use out of EVERYTHING in this package... as I have my whole pregnancy ahead of me. I had a very difficult pregnancy and delivery with my son, so I'm looking forward to enjoying a "normal" one this time around. I think that I would get the most use out of the prenatal education system and the diaper bag. I cloth diaper my son, and plan to cloth diaper the new baby...so I need all the room I can get!

Thanks for auctioning off one of these amazing packages for one super lucky mommy-to-be to win!

Posted by: Heather Bognar at Sep 26, 2007 9:29:28 AM

My baby girl is due Oct 22. The Baby Kaed diaper bag will be very useful for us.
Thank you :)

Posted by: ratna at Sep 26, 2007 9:34:09 AM

I am due May 15th 2008, so a long time away. But this is my 5th and last baby after several miscarriages in between so I am just going to savor the moments. I am sure all of it will come into good use but I have been eyeing some things from sentimental silver.

Posted by: Didi at Sep 26, 2007 9:36:33 AM

I would love this stuff for many reasons. I have 4 year and 2 year old. I am trying for another. I watch my sisters six month old a couple days and will be starting to watch my other sister 2 day old baby in 3 months a couple days. So I am always on the go sticking stuff in my bag and organizing and preparing for trips to park, store, daning, swimming, soccer, library, etc. It would be a nice welcomed treat.

Posted by: Kristen at Sep 26, 2007 9:37:08 AM

i'm due may 17, 2008 with my second. it's too early to know the sex yet, but i have a feeling i'm having another boy. girl or boy i'm thrilled to add another little one to the brood. all of those products sound fantastic, but i'll have to say i'd probably get the most use out of the luggage tags. the monkey one for my 2 year old's day bag (it would match his diapees and wipees!), and the ocean one for the new baby's diaper bag. too cute!

Posted by: erica at Sep 26, 2007 9:37:16 AM

My due date is January 29, 2008. We are not finding out the sex of the baby and want a big surprise for the NEW YEAR!. Personally, I would have to say that the BabyPlus Prenatal Education would be most useful for us. I have read it a great product and many parents swear by it for cognitive development.

please pick me!!!!

Posted by: Katherine at Sep 26, 2007 9:48:20 AM

I am due Feb 9th with a little boy. While everything in the bag would be useful (we got rid of 99% of our stuff after our son was born and we decided we were 'done'.....never say never!) I think the item I'd make the most use of is the Chic&Carry™ Wristlet by Chic Tots. It would be easy to take with me to the gym or the grocery store and lets face it, having a not quite 2 yr old and a newborn moms need things as easy as we can make them.

Posted by: Cindie at Sep 26, 2007 9:50:42 AM

I am due October 9 (Less than 2 weeks!!!) with baby #1 which is a He-baby. Definitely the item I would get the most use out of on a regular daily basis is the Baby Kaed Avi-U diaper bag. It's the perfect size to shlep all the stuff that comes along with babies as well as a stylish way to do so. However I am pretty excited for the rest of the items in the giveaway. I am glad there are things for me as well as the baby included in the bag. Some I am familiar with but some I am not which makes it even more exciting to win!

Posted by: Kira at Sep 26, 2007 9:54:00 AM

I'm due with #3 March 24,2008(don't know the sex yet). I love the variety in this prize! I think the diaper bag is my favorite product, I have heard wonderful things about it from others. Although the birth announcements would be cool too since we never got around to sending them out with the other two kids!

Posted by: Amy B at Sep 26, 2007 9:55:25 AM

I love the Baby Emi Jingle Bells anklet for my little girl due Dec 6. We already have twin boys, so everything in our house is BLUE - something special and feminine for our little princess would be nice. :)

Posted by: Stacey at Sep 26, 2007 10:00:17 AM

We are expecting our third baby April 5th, and although we don't know the sex yet our two girls are convinced they will have a "baby brother!" I know every pregnancy is an adventure, and this one is no exception. While the baby is growing strong, another problem arose and I've been on bedrest... so I'm very interested in the extra things for mom in the giveaway, specifically the Hilary London bracelet. (Amethyst is the birthstone for both my little girls!) I have to say, like most parents, we'd get the most use out of the diaper bag... our well-loved one is due for retirement. Best of luck to everyone!!

Posted by: Nora at Sep 26, 2007 10:12:08 AM

I'm due Dec. 22 with my 4th (but my husbands 1st!) child. I have 3 kids (ages 17, 13, and 7) from previous marriage. The baby I am carrying now is a girl, her name is going to be Aubrey, we are so excited for her arrival! This gift bag is full of wonderful useful things to any new mom (or new again in my case lol). I think the Baby Kaed diaper bag would be most useful to me. This is a great contest give-a-way! Good luck everyone!

Posted by: Renee at Sep 26, 2007 10:17:14 AM

My little girl (Autumn)is due on December 6th, 2007. I think that all the items would receive a lot of use but I think that the Baby Kaed, Avi-U diaper bag would come in real handy. A new little one brings a lot of extra supplies that must be toted where ever she goes and this lovely bag would be a wonderful way for us to tote her baby goodies in style.

Posted by: Amber Pedersen at Sep 26, 2007 10:18:40 AM

I am due to have a baby girl on December 19, 2007 - I would love to own this fabulous gift bag and I think I would get the most use out of the Chic&Carry™ Wristlet because it seems I am always running out the door for something and that would be a wonderful easy thing to lug around to carry the necessities for our new baby girl!!!

Posted by: Heather at Sep 26, 2007 10:21:50 AM

To enter, post a comment telling us your due date (or expected gotcha date), sex of the baby (if you know it), and the product you think you will get the most use out of and why.

My due date is Halloween - 10/31/07. My husband and I are expecting our very first child, a little girl and we are so very excited. While there were a few bumps in the road here and there, we are so glad that I am now 35 weeks pregnant.

All the items are super cute and useful. I think that The Baby Book would be the most help, since this is our first.

Posted by: Julie T. at Sep 26, 2007 10:23:09 AM

I am due May 4th, but we don't know what we are having.

I am most excited to see the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System in it and think I would get a lot of use out of it. Th whole gift bag is amazing though!!!

Posted by: Paige W at Sep 26, 2007 10:27:15 AM

We are due with our first baby boy, Emery, on January 11, 2008. The item I would like for him the most is the Crib Rock Couture gift certificate. I think every baby deserves to dress like a celebrity and feel like a ROCK STAR!!!

Posted by: Keegan at Sep 26, 2007 10:30:05 AM

We are due with our little boy on December 29th. I would use every product in this gift basket. It all looks so great! But the product that I think that I would get the most use out of is the Baby Kaed diaper bag. I have yet to find one that I like, wanting both stylish yet functional, and this fits the bill!

Posted by: Laurel Guiliano at Sep 26, 2007 10:34:46 AM

I'm due February 6, and we've chosen not to find out the gender. The baby gift bag looks wonderful! I think I'd get the most use out of the Crib Rock baby clothes, since so many baby clothes out there are so cutesy and boring. Yay for babies who rock out with their tummies out!

Posted by: Aprille at Sep 26, 2007 10:46:18 AM

My baby girl (and first child), Ella, was born in South Korea on February 12, 2007 but we hope her "gotcha day" (or "Family Day" as we call it here) will be before Thanksgiving. Just this morning we received word that our I-600 application was approved!! :) :)

Though everything sounds great for this first-time Mommy, I would use the Chic Totes the most as I have been looking for a stylish diaper bag that will allow me to stay as organized as possible. And I love the idea of the smaller, get-up-and-go tote for those times when too much is... too much.

Thank you for your consideration!

Posted by: Robyn at Sep 26, 2007 10:48:22 AM

I am expecting May 10 and don't know the sex yet. As a first time mom and I think I will find just about everything very useful in the bag. From what I hear the diaper bag is one of the key items!! Love this website!! I have been addicted long before thinking about children!!

Posted by: Mary at Sep 26, 2007 10:48:46 AM

We are going to start trying for #2 this month. Great gift package. Obviously the ice cream would get the most use!!!!!

Posted by: Angela at Sep 26, 2007 10:55:30 AM

I am due dec 20 2007- we do not know the gender ( but I have two boys already....)

I will get the most use out of the Baby Kaed, Avi-U diaper bag- I dont have a good one yet and I know from previous children that that will become my purse!!! and carry all!


Posted by: ekaterina at Sep 26, 2007 10:55:59 AM

I am due with my first baby (a girl!) on 12/23/07. I think the Baby Book by Dr. Sears would be the most useful for me. I've heard great things about the Dr. Sears books. Although as a first-time mom I don't really have any baby items, so any of the items in the basket would be useful to me!

Posted by: Sami at Sep 26, 2007 11:01:38 AM

My first child is due on 2/3/08. It's a girl! I think I will get the most use out of the HAPPYBABY products. I am really interested in making my own organic baby food and purchasing organic items once the time comes for both mother & baby.

Posted by: Tricia at Sep 26, 2007 11:01:48 AM

My baby girl is due December 10th! I can't wait to meet her! I would say the Baby Kaed bag would be the most useful. It's hip and functional at the same time, and the color will go with absolutely everything.

Posted by: LaRee at Sep 26, 2007 11:02:40 AM

my due date is jan 12, 2008 and we are expecting our first child- a little girl :o) i would love to get this gift bag for the diaper bag - i don't have anything yet for the baby- and also the Prenatal Education information- hubby andi both work full time. also the Hip To Be Square Double Sided Personalized Pendant Necklace - i would definitely wear it everyday!

Posted by: Brianne at Sep 26, 2007 11:06:20 AM

I am expecting my baby May 12, 2008. This is the first child for me and my husband. I think I would get the most out of BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. Anything to help babies learn can not be all bad. I am sure I can use anything in the gift basket. I have no clue what will item in the gift basket will be more important once the baby comes. Possibly sleep :)

Posted by: Virginia at Sep 26, 2007 11:08:59 AM

We are expecting twins in February! We would love to win anything that can help us! I would especially love the pre-natal education system! If we won this it would be such a help!!!

Posted by: Stephanie at Sep 26, 2007 11:13:11 AM

Our little boy is due November 26, 2007. He's our first child so neither of us know what to expect. I absolutely love the Crib Rock Couture Line of baby clothing, so I would have to say that our little man will be sporting it quite a bit of the time. I just love how they mix Snoop Dogg and Little Miss Muffett. Adorable.

Posted by: Buffie at Sep 26, 2007 11:16:34 AM

My HEDD (trying to conceive now) is June 5.
I think I would get most use out of the diaper bag. I like how it looks like a purse not a diaper bag.

Posted by: Amy W at Sep 26, 2007 11:18:16 AM

Our little one is expected on Christmas Day! This will be the first baby for my husband and I and we are so thrilled and we are looking so forward to meeting our baby boy or girl come Christmas time. The gift bag has so many wonderful items. I believe that the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System will be of the most benefit to my husband and I. We have heard so many great things about this product.

Posted by: Karen at Sep 26, 2007 11:27:33 AM

My bouncing baby boy is due Janury 9, 2007. I think we would get the most use out of Nature Made because what is good for mommy's health, is good for baby's health!

Posted by: Kami at Sep 26, 2007 11:30:17 AM

We are expecting baby #2 on April 15, 2008. Though it is too early to determine the gender of this baby, our 2 year-old daughter is convinced that it is a baby sister and that her name will be 'Vanilla Plum' (the jury is still out on that one!)I know from past experience that we will get the most use out os the Baby Kaed diaper bag, but I have to say that what I WANT most is the Laloo ICE CREAM!!!Good luck to all :-).
-Lisa

Posted by: Lisa at Sep 26, 2007 11:30:27 AM

I am due on January 6th with my second....the baby will surprise us with his/her gender on that day!

I would definitely use the Chic&Carry because I tend to try to run out of the house with the least amount of gear possible!

Kristen

Posted by: Kristen McCann at Sep 26, 2007 11:37:10 AM

Hi! We got a surprise, baby #3 due May 21, 2008. What a fabulous gift bag, a little
pampering for baby and mom. All the products look fantastic; who could pass on icecream?
The birth announcements would be a great way to share the arrival of our new bundle of joy
with our family and friends. All of our family is out of state and there is no better way to stay in touch than with a lovely picture and tastefuly designed card.

Posted by: Anne McLaren at Sep 26, 2007 11:39:03 AM

We're expecting our first baby girl on January 31st, 2008. We're so excited, words could not describe!

The thing I would get the most use out of would be the HAPPYBABY fresh frozen organic gourmet baby meals coupon. I have been so careful of trying to only put organic and all natural food into my body through my pregnancy for the sake of my baby and myself. It is in my honest opinion very important to keep organic foods in their diet after the baby switches from the breast to solid foods later on, which is my plan.

Posted by: Julie at Sep 26, 2007 11:43:26 AM

I am due on 1/19/08 with my first and having a girl. I would get love to have the whole gift bag, but would get the most use out of the HappyBaby book. I am so intersted in trying organic foods with her because I have heard about the benefits of organic foods and items.

Posted by: LaVonda at Sep 26, 2007 11:45:49 AM

I am due 12.9.07 and we are having a baby girl. I think we would probably get the most use out of the diaper bag, because Baby Kaed are incredibly well designed and durable bags that are also stylish (a combination I am having a hard time finding!).

Thanks!

Posted by: Claire at Sep 26, 2007 11:48:30 AM

Our little girl is due to arrive on 12/31/07!!! Yes, a little New Year's Eve baby! I can't even pick out one item that I would love more!! Each item is perfect but I would really love something from sentimental silver!! Thanks!!

Posted by: Erica at Sep 26, 2007 11:51:22 AM

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my first child, a boy. His due date is Nov 14th but after several ultrasounds I think he will be coming around Halloween. I can't wait.

I feel that I would get tremendous use out of this giveaway because as a first-mom there are so many things I need and can't seem to get my budget to stretch out far enough. In addition, I have no bias for any of the items, some of which I hadn't even thought about or knew exsisted...oh, boy. =) All of which I know will be used.

Posted by: Anna W at Sep 26, 2007 11:55:56 AM

I'm due with my first child December 27 and we know it's a girl!
I think we could really use everything in the giveaway! I haven't really had time to even register because I am a full-time caretaker for my year old nephew and we're in the process of re-doing our floors!

Posted by: Catherine at Sep 26, 2007 11:56:00 AM

We are happily expecting our first baby on February 29th, 2008! Unfortunately we don't know the sex yet, but we will find out on October 25th if baby cooperates (we're both guessing girl). I can honestly say I would get huge amounts of use out of anything in this gift bag! Everything is so cool, it boggles my mind! My husband is US military and we're stationed overseas (where we've been for over 2 years, he's deployed once as of right now). Pregnancy and baby things are SO hard to come by over here, it's crazy! I would be overjoyed if I won this gift set, and I can guarantee every single item would be used to it's full extent (especially that diaper bag, it's so cute!). :D

I'm due November 26, 2007 with a girl. She'll be the first grandchild on my side, and the first girl on my husband's side! I would get the most use out of the Dreaming About Giraffes blanket, because it A)Goes with the nursery theme (safari) and B)It is so darn cute, that I'd probably take it everywhere with us.

Posted by: Monika at Sep 26, 2007 12:08:22 PM

I am due 5/9/08, don't know what we're having because its still early.
If I win I think I will get the most use out of the announcements - its one less thing I would have to decide on and order after baby arrives. Although, the ice cream could come in very handy....

Posted by: Lauren at Sep 26, 2007 12:09:08 PM

I am expecting my first - a boy - on Dec 10. I think we would like the crib rock couture the best.

Posted by: Lynn at Sep 26, 2007 12:10:00 PM

Baby girl due November 24th. LOVE the bag and all. Since it was determined that there would be no more babies we have no more baby stuff. So anything is terrific!

As the first of my friends to become pregnant, I am extremely conscious of not losing "cool factor" while growing out of all of my clothes and growing up faster than everyone else! And so hip gifts like the maternity tee and diaper bag will be excellent accessories to help me maintain my cool factor while being a mom!!!! Thanks - I need all of the help I can get!

I'm due October 18, 2007 with what our ultrasound tech says is a girl, but looking at the ultrasound we can't really tell, so we're waiting to find out for sure. This is our second child, our first is a 2 1/2 year old little girl :) I think I would get the most use out of the Dreaming About Giraffes, it appears to be gender neutral and babies can never have too many things to snuggle up with.

Posted by: Rebecca at Sep 26, 2007 12:16:18 PM

I'm due on March 23 with my second child. I have an 18 month old boy and would probably get most use out of the diaper bag, because not only do I have to carry his stuff around, but the new babies stuff on top of that. I would also get some use out of the Baby Book. I've wanted one since my son was born, but I don't have that type of money to buy the book.

Posted by: Sarah Gilbert at Sep 26, 2007 12:16:45 PM

Im due to have my sec. son on Oct 31, i would definitley have use for everything!.. but The baby Kaed bag would definitley get its fair share of use from this Family..we are constantley on the go and spend plenty of time at Disneyland and with 2 baby boys.. i will have plenty to fill all the compartments with :o)

Posted by: Jaimie at Sep 26, 2007 12:17:55 PM

Number Two is due 10/31/07. Don't know the sex of our little treat (or trick). I think we would use the Dr. Sears Baby Book most! We love his other books, but don't have that one.

Posted by: Rachel Brown at Sep 26, 2007 12:18:44 PM

Im expecting baby #3 on the %th May 2008. I think the most usefull item (right now) would be the ice-cream voucher!!! I have such sweet cravings just now! can i dip pickles into it though?

Posted by: Jenni at Sep 26, 2007 12:20:45 PM

I'm due October 21 with a little boy! I would get the most use out of the Baby Kaed diaper bag. With a newborn and toddler (I have a 2 year old, too) in tow, I need all the carrying power I can get out of a bag.

Posted by: Andrea Price at Sep 26, 2007 12:29:51 PM

I'm an expecting first time Mom and couldn't be happier after trying for awhile. My due date is April 16, 2008. We want to be surprised with the sex when it's born, at least for our first child. I think the Dreaming about Giraffe's would be great. I'm all about comforting my baby.

Posted by: Tricia at Sep 26, 2007 12:32:03 PM

I just found out I am expecting another bundle of joy we are due June 2nd 2008! I think I would get the most use out of the Ice Cream Certificate because I am craving a lot of ice cream right now.

Posted by: katherine at Sep 26, 2007 12:34:41 PM

I am due November 18th, with our first little girl. We have three boys already and are now 'finishing' off the brood with a little girl. I run my own website of baby items, so people are constantly asking if I've heard of a new product or tried it. With (almost) 4 children of my own, I don't always have the resources to try out all the newest and greatest goodies - so this would be a great opportunity for me to spread the word about great new stuff I love (and have actually tried!). I am one of those vocal moms who, when I love something, I tell EVERYTONE! I love the CBB and read everyday!

Posted by: Erin Preiser at Sep 26, 2007 12:35:02 PM

HI, my little one is due in May, and its too early to know what i am having :). i would probably get the most use out of the diaper bag, as i used my last one for 2+ yrs!! :)

Posted by: sumara at Sep 26, 2007 12:35:56 PM

my friend is due to have her first child on April 20 and doesn't know the sex yet as its too soon. I think she'd benefit most from the diaper bag because she's always on the go. i'd really love for her to have and be able to use all of the wonderful treats in the bag.

Posted by: chiyah at Sep 26, 2007 12:38:29 PM

My fourth little bundle of joy is due May 26th, 2008. :) We just found out the exciting news, but knew it may happen soon. All my kids are born on a leap year in chronological order...Feb. 1996, March 2000, April 2004, and now this one is due May 2008. And it wasn't planned! lol Not sure of the sex, but PLEASE cross your fingers it is a boy. Have two boys, and a lil diva baby girl (One diva is enough! lol). What item would I love the most? It's an easy answer...ALL OF THEM! I am a nurse with soon to be four kids, living in LA. lol ANYTHING is welcomed at this point! But I want to thank you richly for the opportunity. The entire Sullivan family thanks you!! :):):) Congrats to all the new and hopeful moms!

Posted by: Sheryl Sullivan at Sep 26, 2007 12:39:00 PM

We are expecting our third child (and first girl) on January 1, 2008. I would definitely get the most use out of the maternity tee, as I live in an area where fashionable and comfortable maternity clothes are a rarity.

Posted by: Erin D. at Sep 26, 2007 12:41:41 PM

I am due February 5 with baby number 3, a little girl who will be the perfect addition to and completion of our family! I have two older daughters, 7 and 4, so this will make it 3 girls! We love little girls! My youngest will be 5 by the time the baby comes, and with the exception of the crib, we are having to start all over with all of the baby items and gear...yikes! So, everything in this package would be fabulous for sure. I think I'd get the most use out of the Baby Kaed Avi-U bag as well as the Chic Tots Wristlet. We've been out of the diaper bag stage for awhile -- and these are both fashionable, functional and fun! I think they'll make organizing my things as well as the baby's and the older girls easier -- while still letting me be "in style" and fashion forward -- not just Mom with a big old diaper bag!

Posted by: ab at Sep 26, 2007 1:03:31 PM

Our first child is due December 11th - we are keeping the sex a surprise! My weight gain was going okay but I really packed on the pounds in the last month and it's probably all of the ice cream that I love to eat. So, the item that I would get the most use out of would be Laloo’s Goat Milk Ice Cream certificates - I can indulge my sweet tooth without all of the guilt...

Posted by: Marisa at Sep 26, 2007 1:10:12 PM

My fourth is due Jan. 5,08(a girl) .. Seeing that my beautiful other children are older (10,8,&8) it would be fun to win anything new. The bag looks absolutely amazing - having anything in it would go to good use -good luck to all.

Posted by: kimi at Sep 26, 2007 1:25:03 PM

I'm due January 26 with our second girl and this time I really want to wear the fun maternity shirts. I would love the Belli Threads - the first time around I went all sensible with my maternity clothes and this time I'm gonna have fun darn it!

Posted by: Rachel at Sep 26, 2007 1:26:07 PM

I am actually submitting this for a friend of mine who has suffered NUMEROUS miscarriages and has finally gotten past 30 weeks (for the first time ever). Although there are no guarantees, the chances are pretty good that they will be able to bring this baby home! Yippee!!! Believe it or not, with all the medical help they have received, they have opted NOT to find out if it is a boy or a girl!!!

She is big into nutrition … So maybe she will appreciate the items from Happy Baby Food!!

Posted by: lauren at Sep 26, 2007 1:30:37 PM

I am expecting number three on December 2nd. This one will be a little girl and I am so excited to meet her. I think the Baby Kaed Diaper Bag would be the most useful. I have a toddler who I still have to carry lots of stuff around for, as well as a 7 year old who has things he likes to bring everywhere as well. It would be wonderful to have a nice diaper bag that can fit everything I need. Thanks so much:)

Posted by: Jenn at Sep 26, 2007 1:42:42 PM

Great giveaway! My husband and I are expecting 02/14/08. Here's hoping the baby is running on time for the best Valentine's gift a girl could ask for! I'm a huge fan of BabyPlus Prenatal Education System, I really believe in the system and am anxious to give it a try. If I'm a lucky winner, then I would certainly make use of all these wonderful gifts. :) Thank you for the opportunity.

Posted by: Kristina at Sep 26, 2007 1:53:05 PM

We are in the process of adopting from Russia and hope to be home with the baby by 12/1/07. Though we have to work at Russia's speed and not our own. It will be a boy and he will be around 12 months. All of the gifts are amazing, but I think I would the Baby Kaed, Avi-U diaper bag would be most useful. I haven't been able to find that perfect diaper bag and this one looks like it!

Posted by: Marie at Sep 26, 2007 2:14:23 PM

we're due with our 2nd girl on oct. 29th. i think we'd get the most use and enjoyment out of the Baby Kaed diaper bag. our first girl will be 18 months when her sister is born, so i am in desperate need of a great bag that can accomodate an infant and toddler without looking like a big huge diaper bag. i don't want to sacrifice style just because i will be the crazed mommy of 2 under 2!

Posted by: amy at Sep 26, 2007 2:30:54 PM

My due date is November 9, 2007 and we're expecting our second child, a little boy! (He'll join his 2-year-old big sister - she's very excited about this!)

The product I think I'll get the most use out of are the ones from Chic Tots - the Chic&Carry Wristlet and the Chic&Cozy Blanket/Bag.

The Wristlet sounds great because it looks like a convenient way to carry around diaper changing supplies without having to take the whole diaper bag along (if you're just out for a walk or a quick errand you don't necessarily want to take a whole bag with you!). And the Blanket/Bag sounds like such a good idea, I wish I'd had something like this for my daughter when she was an infant. You have a play mat that turns into a bag, so all you do is open it up and you're all set. No need to stuff lots of toys or a bulky blanket into your diaper bag, because you have a blanket/play mat, and a bag to carry toys all in one (hmmm... you could even put the Wristlet into the Blanket/Bag and you wouldn't even need a separate diaper bag at all!). Plus, you can machine wash AND dry it!!! (You can't do that with most diaper bags, unfortunately!) The Blanket/Bag looks awesome for outings to visit friends or family, or even to take out to the playground or in the backyard!

Posted by: KF at Sep 26, 2007 2:37:37 PM

I'm due on 2/27/08 - It's a boy!

I could definitely use the Baby Kaed diaper bag- I'm so unorganized when I leave the house and all of the pockets would really help keep me together!

Posted by: lisa at Sep 26, 2007 2:48:13 PM

I am due 4/26/08 so I don't know what I am having-although I am not sure I even want to find out. I would love the Baby Kaed Diaper bag. I believe that you can never have to many diaper bags and it is something that goes with you EVERYWHERE!!

Posted by: rachel at Sep 26, 2007 3:25:32 PM

Hi, I am currently expecting my second child with a due date of 3/26/2008. I am just starting to get a little belly and most of my normal pre-pregnancy clothes are no longer fitting correctly. Therefore, I would say I would most likely have a larger need for the Belli Threads tee. The Baby Kaed Avi-U bag would also be awesome to receive since my old diaper bags are all black and very plain so that my husband would carry them too (he refused to help carry any diaper bag that looked "girlie" in his terms). Having a nice stylish bag would be amazing. Other items from the prize package would be great to donate or give away as gifts since four of my close friends are also currently expecting too.
Thanks!

Posted by: Melissa at Sep 26, 2007 3:28:00 PM

This is my first baby and it was a surprise. My baby is due January 10, 2008 and I love the Sentimental Silver pendant necklace. I would wear it everyday and it would make me smile when I have very hard days and get overwhelmed and nervous about what's ahead. My husband and I are deciding between samantha and tallulah (he hates it, i love it). Oh yeah, it's a girl!!

Posted by: kelly at Sep 26, 2007 3:40:57 PM

I'm due 12/26/07 (the day after Christmas) with a little girl. This has to be the best prize yall have ever done! I would definitely get the most use out of the BabyPlus Prenatal Education, it is something I looked into during the 2nd trimester, but decided it was a little too expensive, I would definitely still have time to use it and would use with my second pregnancy as well. I also LOVE the Baby Kaed diaper bag!!!

Please pick me!!!

Posted by: Ashlee Fort at Sep 26, 2007 3:49:53 PM

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant, due on 1/29/08. I think I would use the bracelet the most because I am pregnant with a girl. My boys are 11 and 7, so we are pretty stoked. I love this website for all their ideas but I can't afford anything on here so this would be AWESOME!!!!!

Posted by: Bethie at Sep 26, 2007 4:03:29 PM

I am due in just 13 days!!(Oct 9) Our 2nd baby...A BOY! As Im pretty sure this will be our last, I would looooove to get that great Baby Kaed diaper bag-everything on the list looks amazing...but a good quality diaper bag would mean the world! It would be nice to get some "high end" gear for this little one(and me of course) as we live in a pretty small town, and dont have access to all the top of the line gear. It would be great...:)Thanks for having such GREAT contests on your site...things for moms and their most important people-their little ones!

Posted by: jennifer h at Sep 26, 2007 4:24:17 PM

My son is due January 10, 2008 and although all of the goodies sound fabulous . . . the birth announcements from Divine Basics will allow us to share our joy with our family and friends around the world.

My fingers and toes are crossed -please pick me!!!

Posted by: Kristin at Sep 26, 2007 4:28:41 PM

I am expecting my first child, a boy, on October 19th. I am currently on bed rest and spend most of my days online checking out baby sites (CBB is my favourite!). I love all the items in this giveaway, but would definitely get the most use out of the awesome Baby Kaed Avi-u diaper bag. The Divine Basics gift certificate for baby announcements would be fantastic too!

Posted by: Josie at Sep 26, 2007 4:29:20 PM

I am expecting my first child, a boy on Feb 5th 2008. I think I would get the most use out of the Baby Kaed Avi- U Diaper Bag. It looks roomy as well as stylish. Truthfully all of the prizes look great and I would be grateful to have any of them, since I don't have much for the baby and finances aren't really allowing for it at the moment.

Posted by: Jennifer at Sep 26, 2007 4:32:52 PM

Right now I'd get the most use and the happiest feelings from the Laloo’s Goat Milk Ice Cream. I'm three months pregnant expecting my second baby in April and while I'd would love every thing included in this wonderful prize, I have all day sickness and ice cream and chocolate milk soothes my stomach. So that 6 month supply would come in very handy right about now!

Posted by: kristi at Sep 26, 2007 5:30:25 PM

I'm due with our first (a boy!!) on Jan 1, 2008. I know I'd use everything but I'm most excited about the HAPPY BABY food and the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System - developing his body & mind :)

Posted by: elizabeth gentry at Sep 26, 2007 5:30:30 PM

I'm expecting my first child, a boy, Dec 25th! We'll see if he likes that date just as much as the doctors.

I think I'd get the most use out of the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. I find it fascinating what an unborn child could possibly learn while in the womb. Being a first-time mom, I'd love to have the opportunity to start on the best possible note and this system seems so easy to use. Although I feel I could get alot of use out of all the items listed from the Celebrity Bump gift bag the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is by far the most intriguing item. I think I'd get the most use out of it. because it is an item I've dreamed of having but unfortunately not one I can afford amongst all of our other basic needs.

Thanks for the opportunity!
-Jessica

I feel like I'm rolling out of bed and sharing the news! We just found out we are expecting via home pregnancy test, so I don't even know my due date yet, but I know I am pregnant- yay! I think I would get a lot of use out of sunscreen actually! I can't think of anything I use more on a daily basis between myself and our fair-skinned kids!

Posted by: CMacy at Sep 26, 2007 5:34:08 PM

My due date is April 11, 2008, and we don't know the sex (yet). All the goodies sound great, but the product I'm most excited about is the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.

Posted by: Sarah at Sep 26, 2007 5:40:42 PM

I am due on February 23, 2008 with our first child. We don't find out the sex for another week, but I can't wait! I think everything in the bag looks useful. However, I think we would get the most use out of the Baby Kaed diaper bag and the BabyPlus Prenatal Education.

Posted by: Erica at Sep 26, 2007 6:10:46 PM

I am expecting my second... and third in February or March (you never know with twins!) I love the Baby Kaed bag for toting all the baby goodies while out with my little ones - and I will have plenty to tote!

Posted by: Sara at Sep 26, 2007 6:14:58 PM

My baby boy is scheduled to arrive on Oct 25. The Baby Kaed diaper bag will be very useful for us.
Thank you :)

Posted by: Noreen Mahanna at Sep 26, 2007 6:28:06 PM

We are in the process of adoption a son from Guatemala. I do not have a gotcha date as of yet since there are many issues going on in Guatemala that are confusing the process. I would love the gift basket and would get the most use out of the baby announcements from Divine Basics. Such a perfect prince deserves such wonderful items.

Posted by: cassandra Brown at Sep 26, 2007 6:55:37 PM

I am expecting our new babe April 30, 2008. Do not know the sex yet. I would love love and get most use out of the Crib Rock™ Couture items since we are a musical household. My 2 1/2 yr old already bangs on teh drums all day long! Can't get enough rock n roll in this house. Thank you!

Posted by: Wendy at Sep 26, 2007 6:59:12 PM

We are in the process of adopting from Vietnam and China. We are adopting a boy from Vietnam and are hoping to have him home this coming spring. Our baby girl will be coming from China and it will be another 2 years before we get her.

What an awesome giveaway! I would have to say that the baby book is one of the items that I would really like to have since I love to read and find out new information about babies and helpful information on how to raise them. Also the happy baby meal coupon. Organic food is important and I think it would be very useful.

Jessica

Posted by: mdterp at Sep 26, 2007 7:05:34 PM

My friend is in the process of adopting a little boy and this would be wonderful for her. She is adopting her brother's son (her nephew) since he is unable to care for him.

Posted by: Myrna at Sep 26, 2007 7:35:44 PM

I have a 3 month old and this would be wonderful!

Posted by: Caryn at Sep 26, 2007 7:36:40 PM

I am really hoping to conceive this month, so that would put my EDD in June. All the products look great, but I would probably most use the Baby Kaed Avi-U diaper bag.

Posted by: charla at Sep 26, 2007 7:37:56 PM

I am due Jan 3, 2008 with my second child, a boy.

I think the Baby Kaed Diaper bag would be the most useful!

THanks!

Posted by: Angela Granberg at Sep 26, 2007 8:26:36 PM

Our due date is January 29, 2008. We are not finding out the sex of the baby. All the goodies in the gift are wonderful. So, it was hard to pick a favorite but, the thing I will enjoy the most is the Laloo’s Goat Milk Ice Cream!! Yum, Yum, Yum!!!!!
Kathy

Posted by: Kathy at Sep 26, 2007 9:34:20 PM

My due date is Jan. 10th, 2008 with my second. But I'm going by c-section again on Dec. 31st. Right before ringing in the New Year! This time we're having a girl! I'd get the most use out of the Chic&Carry Wristlet. With 2 kids, you need all the hands you can get. I think this would be so helpful when I'm on the road or at the stores with the two kids. And it'd be less to carry around. Doesn't it always seem like you have to carry every baby product that there is with you at all times!?
