Giveaway: What To Expect When You're Expecting

As promised last Friday, I have a giveaway for you today.  And not just any giveaway, a giveaway  from the one and only What To Expect When You're Expecting.

You know that WTEWYE (yes, I'm using a 6 letter acronym) is a book, arguably the bible of pregnancy reads.  You also know that it's a movie, a recently released movie that stars Cameron Diaz.  I still haven't seen it and the thought of Cameron Diaz with a fake baby bump still isn't appealing to me.  But that's neither here nor there.  You may not know that WTEWYE is also a website, an iPhone app and a collection of books.  WTEWYE is taking over the pregnant world.

Cameron with her fake bump for the movie.   Believable?

The WTEWYE collection of books includes the original that you know, What to Expect in the First Year and What to Expect in the Second Year.  From what I hear, the First and Second Year books are just as crucial as their predecessor, which makes me exceptionally happy about today's giveaway - the FULL collection.

Prize: What to Expect book series including What to Expect When You're Expecting, What to Expect in the First Year and What to Expect in the Second Year.
How to enter (and win): Post a comment (on this blog, BELOW) about what you expect to happen when you're pregnant or what you did expect about pregnancy before you pregnant.  Craving pickles and ice cream?  Going up a bra size?  Barfing...frequently?
Enter by: Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 5 pm (EST), no exceptions...sorry
Number of Winners: Two!!!
Shipping: US only
Winner Announcement: Two winners will be randomly selected using http://random-draw.org and posted Friday (6/29/12) afternoon.  So, check back!

Last Tuesday, I featured the 3 Little Owls print by Bella Byte in the post A Hootiful Nursery.  Bella Byte is back today with an awesome giveaway!

Minky Snuggle Bunny Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED - Betsy is the winner!!!

You may remember Auntie Jill from the post about personalized name gifts that you won't find on a baby shower registry.  Or, from A Dinosaur Tribute?  Or, from the Bunny Buddy Blanket Giveaway?  She's clearly a regular.  An awesome regular.  She hand makes a variety of plush toys from zebras to rockin' dinosaurs to shaggy goats (my favorite, I think).  Her designs are original and she crafts in her smoke free home.

Today is, once again, all about Auntie Jill because she is generously giving away one large (12" tall) Minky Snuggle Bunny to a lucky NSB reader.  It looks so soft I just want to pet my computer screen.  The photos below are the Minky Snuggle Bunny up for grabs.  Auntie Jill made it especially for this giveaway.  It's the perfect prize for your own little one or for a friend's little one, have a baby shower coming up?

Well hello there, Mr. Bunny.
You look so happy, snuggly
and slightly inebriated.

Minky bunny tail, check.

Forget inebriated, this bunny is wasted!
Don't tell your baby.

Prize: One large Minky Snuggle Bunny ($30 value)
How to enter (and win): Go to the Auntie Jill Etsy shop, check out the plush toys and minky snuggle bunnies and post a comment (on this blog, BELOW) about your favorite. And that's it. One entry per email address.
