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.
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!
jenny’s last blog post..Where have I been, you say?
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).
Katie’s last blog post..The Beauty of Bribery
I would pick the white in size 4. I never got one of these last pregnancy and I so want one for this next one.
Tori’s last blog post..Closet Cleaning
Not pregnant yet, but hope to be soon! I’d choose scarlet.
Well I just learned I’m pregnant so this would be perfect:) I’d pick black size 1
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.
Carrie’s last blog post..We’re now calling this the month of doom
I’d love the black in size 4 for my sister in law! What a cool idea
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!
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!!!
Susie’s last blog post..Boobs
I would get size 4 in black, for a friend!
and I follow u on twitter (kgail11)
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.
This would be for my sister n law. I believe she is a size 4, black.
black in size 4
size 3 black
I’d pick white, size 4, for me!!

I would choose black in a size 3. It’s for my sister, she’s been trying to get pregnant for 4 1/2 years after losing a baby at 5 months. She’s finally pregnant! YEAH!!
::Sylvia::’s last blog post..Knit Cup Cozy Giveaway!
I would pick white, I know boring.. But I have a black one and this would be such a great compliment. Plus, from my first pregnancy, my black one is starting to unravel!

Okay, I’m pregnant now, so I hope to win this for me.
I like the white belly band in size 3.
I would love to win this for a friend, in a white, size 3. Thanks for the chance!
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.

Black size 2 for me!! Hehe!
love it! I would choose black in size 2….for me since I’m expecting girl #2
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:)
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!

Emily’s last blog post..My Pretty New Bag
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!
Jenny’s last blog post..Stylish and Safe…Recaro Car Seats
I’d pick a white size 2 for myself–to be pregnant soon!

I would chose Plum…I’m due in June, so it would be for me! But I’ll gladly pass it along afterwards!
White, size 3 for me!
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.
Black size 3 for my sister-in-law.
