bump band giveaway
When I was a wee pregnant woman, and this blog was still fairly new, or rather, less old than it is now, I participated in a bloggy giveaways carnival. My readership spiked for a few days as people vied for the opportunity to win one of my adorable TCBTS mugs.
In the spirit of this blog’s original topic, i.e.: pregnancy, and because I have me some connections in the industry (woo hoo!) this time around, I’m offering a Bump Band!
The story: When I was pregnant, a family friend gave me a gift “Box” of clothing from a maternity line called Maggie Maternity that she and her husband were starting. At first, I was dubious. All. Black. Stuff. But then, I tried the clothes on. So soft! So comfy! So flattering and cute!
I wore all of it, a lot, and for a long time postpartum, too. Longer than it is seemly to admit. Ahem.
One of my favorite tactics was to layer the skirt over yoga pants or jeans (my post-natal power outfit). I love layering.
Which is why I’m a little bummed that I didn’t know about the company’s Bump Band back then, because it comes in COLORS, and those of you who know me KNOW that I would have been ALL OVER the stripey one.
Here’s the deal: They’re letting me give away a Bump Band (with free shipping) to one lucky winner.
What you have to do:
1) Go to the site: http://maggiematernity.com
2) Come back and leave a comment here, telling me which color you’ll pick (and what size) and whether it’s for you or a friend (because I’m nosy).
3) For an extra chance to win, follow @maggiematernity on Twitter (and leave a second comment here with your Twitter name).
The usual rules apply — only one entry per person, unless you’re Twittering, then you get two. Make sure you answer all the questions and that you put your email address in the appropriate field in the comment window. No email, no prize. PLEASE NOTE: U.S. MAILING ADDRESSES ONLY. Giveaway ends Sunday, February 1, at noon, PST. Winner will be picked at random.
Now, go back to Bloggy Giveaways and enter to win more stuff.

WE HAVE A WINNER! CONGRATULATIONS ANDREA (#49)!

I’d pick Scarlett for a friend in size 4.
January 27th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Wow, I sure wish I had heard about these during my last pregnancies! I would love to win the black bump band in size 2! Thanks for the giveaway!

January 28th, 2009 at 6:41 am
OK, this is totally timely for me! I’m right in the middle of nothing fits land! I’d go for white in a size 3 (really, I love the scarlet, but I’m looking at what I would use the most).

Not pregnant yet, but hope to be soon! I’d choose scarlet.
January 28th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Well I just learned I’m pregnant so this would be perfect:) I’d pick black size 1
January 28th, 2009 at 8:01 am
I just put on my belly band this morning for the first time! I made it to 5 months before I needed it this pregnancy. Anyway, I would love to win a white one, I need that color! I’d need a size 4 probably.

I’d love the black in size 4 for my sister in law! What a cool idea
January 28th, 2009 at 8:39 am
That scarlet is beautiful, but I’m a practical gal, so I’d probably choose black in size 2. The Maggie box concept is really neat!
January 28th, 2009 at 8:49 am
I think I’d go with black, size 3. I’m not pregnant, but will be thinking about #2 soon and I know I’d love this! I remember having to wear a nursing tank top all the time to help with shirts post baby that were a bit too short. Arg for stretch marks!!!

I think I would pick the white since my sis is preggers and due in August. White seems cooler somehow? I think she would need a size 4, since she wears a size 12 US. Neat site. Thanks for the contest.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:15 am
This would be for my sister n law. I believe she is a size 4, black.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:11 am
black in size 4
January 28th, 2009 at 10:12 am
size 3 black
January 28th, 2009 at 10:15 am

January 28th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
I’m entering for my sister who’s freshly pregnant {that makes for 4 nephews, 6 nieces, and one “?” now!}. Her 2 boys are practically grown so she pretty much starting from scratch! I think she’d wear a size 4. White.

a white one size 4 for my daughter-in-law, who is finally having a granddaughter!
These are great innovative items for women who are pregnant in these times:)
January 28th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I’d probably go for plum. I might keep it for myself, but I’m almost done being pregnant, so I might give it to a friend, instead.
Thanks for offering it!

I’d pick a black size 2 for myself (hopefully)…
But I’m still having a confusing time wondering about size. I teeter between a 4 and 8 depending on the store ya know. I wish I knew for sure what sizes they were by using tummy measurements more exactly!

January 29th, 2009 at 8:20 am
White, size 3 for me!
January 29th, 2009 at 10:17 am
I think I’d definitely pick red & size 4. I’m a 10/12 usually.
It would be for me, but it would have to sit in the closet, pretending not to exist until the appropriate time. I don’t like to jinx things.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Black size 3 for my sister-in-law.

How boring am I? I would like the plain white one, in a size 4 for me! I’m nursing now and it would be SO helpful to help cover my tummy! Plus, it looks SO cute.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:28 pm

Black in size 1 for my friend Missy. (It’s her first.)
January 29th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
This would be great to have, it would be for me. Im three months pregnant right now. I like the black color.
January 30th, 2009 at 8:15 am
I’d like the white in size 1!
January 30th, 2009 at 11:57 am
i would get the gray in size 1 or 2, and it would be for my friend even though I just got done with my second pregnancy and would have LOVED this during it.
January 30th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Wow, wish I’d known about this company sooner in my pregnancy! I’d go for a size 3 in boring black. (For me — only 2 more months to go, but I hear they’re great for transitioning back to regular clothes and covering the tummy while breastfeeding….)
January 30th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I’d love the black size 2 (or 3?). It would be for ME
I’m 27 weeks along with my first pregnancy so I’d love to have it for now and later. Thanks so much for the great giveaway – and great site!

January 30th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
I think I would like the white in Size two for myself please…although it was a toss up between that and the black…such a hard choice.

scarlet size 4 for me! or maybe plum… i couldn’t see where to view all the colors, so i am just guessing i would love red the best.
January 30th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
White, size 4, for my oldest daughter, who is pregnant with grandbaby #3 right now (due in March). It’s neat that she can wear it now and after the baby comes, too. She’s never had something like this.
