I WON!!!

Jason's mom kindly gave us a subscription to TIME OUT NY / KIDS, which I have ever so enjoyed our first three issues thus far. Anyway, I particularly am fond of, as I am in the adult/weekly version of TONY, the giveaways to win free stuff - COME ON, who doesn't love free stuff?!?

Naturally, I sign myself up for any contest that is relevant to our pregnancy or can be saved for Olivia. Well, in the process, I also signed up for a free BIRTH'A BAG VIP (valued at $180.00) and was called today to be informed that I was one of the lucky winners!! LOL!!

The BIRTH'A BAG IS:
The Already-Packed Maternity Bag.

Filled with wonderful natural and organic products,
for the greatest of all moments, the birth of your baby!

Birth'a Bag conveniently doubles as a Diaper Bag .

Pack a bag! What should I take? There are many items an expectant mother should bring to the hospital or birthing center. Stay calm, focused, don't forget to breathe and leave the packing to us!

Birth'a Bag will help ensure that you have everything at your side to get you through the journey of labor. Birth'a Bag doubles as a diaper bag measuring 14x14x5" - complete with all the pockets and features in a great diaper bag, including a matching changing pad. Choose from the Birth'a Bag V.I.P (Very Important Pregger) or the Birth'a Bag Basic. It's the same bag on the outside, filled a bit differently on the inside.

In addition to the many natural and organic products it's filled with, Birth'a Bag is packed with love and warm wishes for a safe & happy delivery . A portion of Birth'a Bag sales is donated to organizations that support prenatal health and wellness.

I get to pick the colour and Jason gets a t-shirt (since he is my 'birthing coach', heehee). I LOVE that all of the goodies are natural and organic and that the bag can also double as a diaper bag (even though we already have a LeSportsac and a Skip Hop - LOL).
