We did not get a lot of things before the baby was born, but we have made it through 9 months without having to spend a fortune. We sure could use everything you are giving away, especially the nursery set as it is time to set up Logan's own bedroom and move him out of ours. Help please and thank you!

Congratulations on making duvet covers for baby. Nothing like having grandchildren, I waited a long time to have mine, too. God did give me many other kids to love before Ethan was born.
We are all looking forward to my Brother Charles and his lovely wife, Roberta who will be first time grandparents very soon. She will be named after our Mother, Olive. so it goes..

Hello Martha. Absolutely you are the best. My sister just had her fifth child. Her oldest, a daughter will be 19 on Monday, then she has 3 sons, ages 15, 8, 1 and now her baby daughter named Amethyst Star , born on February 2, baptized by our brother and sister-in-law. She will very much appreciate and be surprised by what you will give her for my niece. Thank you.

Hi Martha,
This really is the ultimate baby shower – man, what a great contest! I've been looking at the baby photos in your @replies on Twitter and the babies are so cute. I love babies.

Wow, over a thousand dollars for a stroller! I think I'm in shock and I'm sure many will want those but everything is very, very nice. I can't wait to see pictures and read about the winners. Trish

My husband and I welcomed our third child into the world on January 24th, a sweet baby boy. He is the absolute final puzzle to our family and such a Godful gift. We are so excited about all the gifts from God. Rex Cooper is our newest addition and he joins his sister Brayden who is 8 and his brother Hunter who is 6. We could not be happier. My husband is a police officer and works hard, but we could really use any gift as they tend to not make what they are worth. Please choose our family!

I came across this Saturday night and I thought
what a happy message.I am a Grandma to two
darling active boys,ages 6 & 8.It is too late
for baby presents,but,my other daughter married
last year,and I thought how nice if we should have a new little baby to love.
A contest like this certainly helps new families
with all the expensive things they must purchase.What a Blessing !!

Hi Martha -
Love the idea of helping new moms out but you know what - moms of 2 and 4 years need help too.
Maybe that's a whole other show! I sometimes feel like a "new mom" everyday I share with my boys. They have so much to teach and I love learning new and old things all over with them! Just a thought.
Thanks for always being so open and human.
Mary

What a great idea for expecting mothers. Very generous and thoughtful of you Martha, every new mother could use help. My best friend unexpectedly is blessed with having a little boy this June and until then she is finishing up her degree at West Virginia University. Money is very tight and she is working very hard, it would be so wonderful if you picked her! We love you so much Martha you are incredible!
Posted by: Emma | February 21st, 2011 at 3:27 pm
Love all the products. We're expecting in June with our first child. We could really use any of these products
) esp the strollers or the brightstars set. Thanks for giving us all the chance to win one of these.
Posted by: Jennifer Jones | February 21st, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Martha this is such an amazing giveaway. Times are so tough for so many people and the price of large baby items is so expensive. It is so wonderful of you to think of new mother or mothers to be. The gifts are so beautiful and so remind me of your amazing taste. Thank you for this thoughtful giveaway. God bless.

Martha,
I've been following you for years in the kitchen and craft rooms. Now that I'm expecting my first child (Baby Pinger), I can't wait to see all that you have for moms and their bebes! Great contest idea...I hope Baby Pinger has a chance to win, even though you can barely tell it's a baby on the ultrasound photo.
Posted by: L. Pinger | February 22nd, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Thanks Martha.
I will tweet a picture today. Our son Quinn was born weighing just one wee pound September 3rd. Today, he weighs nine pounds! He spent 108 days in the NICU. You can see all sorts of pictures and read about his miraculous journey here:
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mightyquinn
We'd love to win a crib as Quinn is 14 years younger than his oldest brother (youngest of 4: 9,10,14) and we got rid of EVERYTHING. We don't even have a nursery yet (it's all under construction).

I am very excited about your baby shower show. I am about to become a proud Grandmother in just a few weeks. Both of my beautiful daughters are due in early April. I am now in the process of planning a double baby shower. It is a lot more difficult than I realized. I am sure that your show will give me a ton of great ideas. I will be tweeting pics of my daughters today. One daughter is having a girl, and the other a boy, so I was looking for some good decorating ideas, as well as fun activities for the guests to enjoy. I will also be doing all the cooking and hopefully can get some festive recipes. Thank You.
Sincerely, Linda Saunders

Hey Martha! Great idea, during the winter baby boom of 2011! I just had my second child Alexa Noelle, on Dec 27th. She is a blessing, and everyone around us is having a baby. I work as an art teacher in NJ and there have been 7 pregnancies, this year,(@myschool) and 8 including the principals wife! Its been so baby crazy!!! I love the Stokke Strollers, they seem amazing! It would be a fantastic treat for our Alexa, who has her 2 month doctors appointment today. This visit includes her first set of vaccinations,so the stroller would put an end to any discomfort for her and her parents!
