Welcome to the Classy Mommy Cyber Baby Shower!
Hooray! Pamela, mompreneur and founder of the adorable clothing line called Happy Panda, very generously offered to throw a Cyber Baby Shower in honor of the impending new arrival of our baby boy! (We are still in great debate on a name!) I thought it would be fantastic if proceeds from this event could also benefit Project Peanut Butter, a cause Classy Mommy supports as we donate 100% of the affiliate marketing revenue we earn, per the Classy Mommy Cause, to charities like Project Peanut Butter.
I’m thrilled to announce that the Classy Mommy Cyber Baby Shower has raised $685 for Project Peanut Butter! Thanks to the support of all the wonderful businesses that have contributed a donation as part of their gift to Classy Mommy. For every $10 raised, a malnourished child can be treated at home for nearly 3 weeks on Project Peanut Butter’s special therapeutic peanut butter paste. So thanks to everyone for helping us make a difference!
I want to send a special shout out to Neat Solutions Inc., the makers of the very necessary Table Toppers place mats that just about every Mom uses during the toddler years and a product I could NOT live without. They made a very generous $100 contribution to Project Peanut Butter!
Let’s get the party started!

GAME # 1
If you want your 1st pick of the prizes – let us know in your comment or blog party post how long the labor and delivery of your 1st baby took! The quickest labor and delivery will win!
(This time frame is near and dear to my heart as I am having incredible anxiety about how long Round # 2 will take me. I pray I make it to the hospital and realize I am in active labor. I'm sure it will be fine but I am still nervous! My daughter arrived fast and furiously. Total natural childbirth. I had hoped and planned for a natural birth - albeit I never imagined it to be without a choice! Start to finish was 4 hours. That included my water breaking at home, getting checked 1 hour later at the hospital and only being 1 cm. I went from 1-10 in less than 3 hours! I realize there is a good chance I won't realize I'm in labor until I hit transition of 7-10 cm unless my water breaks again…..)

Here is a small photo of the new baby boy's nursery. We don't really have an official theme - although I did add some fun Melissa & Doug jungle animals to liven things up a bit. My furniture is from a collection called Westwood Designs and it is a basic dark walnut color - and we have blinds to match. Our bedding, curtains, and receiving blankets all come from the Babylicious Groovy Blue line which I adore! Babylicious has the cutest and most affordable whimsical and modern bedding options for both the little girls and the little boys! The best part is that they all sell all kinds of trendy accessories to match - bibs, burps, sleep sacks, blankets, and more!

Mackenzie, my 2 year old, was on the small side as she was born 4 weeks early tipping the scales
at just 6 lbs even. She is now a pretty big girl - about 85% for both height and weight! It is funny because she started out so tiny and I am on the short and petite side! I'll be anxious to see what this little boy will weigh!

Now, let's look at all of these amazing gifts! Thank you to everyone for my wonderful gifts to keep Mommy, the “baby boy” and his big Sister Mackenzie styling!
Happy Panda sent us a gorgeous custom “Panda” shower wreath full of diapers and Happy Panda goodies. T-shirts, Onesies, an Infant safe large stuffed Panda Bear holding washcloths and more! 2 year old Mackenzie finds Pandas so engaging and for some reason she has a real affinity for them! Pamela Kramer, a Mom and the founder of the Happy Panda business must be on to something with this line of clothing centered around Pandas. Pamela founded this biz after having two babies who grew so fast they never fit the standard baby sized clothing so she decided to let Happy Panda be the “Brand for Bigger Babies”. Any baby can wear these cozy cute panda clothes – the size chart is just designed for the baby plus size! 
Neat Solutions Inc. Gift Basket sent us a plethora of essential goodies. Multiple packages of Table Toppers, a set of 4 Toppers to Go (on the go pre-packed sippy cup, utensils, bib, and a table topper placemat for meals on the go!), shopper toppers, changing table toppers and more!

Little Stork Delivery Bag
I’ve been packed and ready to go to the hospital since 33 weeks when the baby fully dropped and I could tell that my contractions were altering and beginning to dilate me. Obviously, “Baby Boy” is still hanging in there. I was 1 cm at 34 weeks (haven't been checked since) as of today I’m 35 weeks and 5 days. I made it to 36 weeks 2 days with my daughter – so we’ll see what happens!
Luckily, I don’t have to worry about exactly what is in my bag –as this bag even includes a camera - since Little Stork has done it all for me. Celebs love this bag – and now that I’ve got my own bag I feel like I’m getting a taste of what life is like as a celeb that has someone else prep everything for them. This glam “delivery” bag includes all of your labor and delivery and hospital stay essentials.
Classy Mommy has been a fan of MomSpit since I reviewed them last year. I’m totally excited to refill my purses and diaper bag with this shower gift. The SpitKit from MomSpit 
includes three 2 oz minis in fig & green tea, lemon & white tea and unscented. Inspired by the original, MomSpit no-rinse cleanser works like magic, smells like heaven and cleans like soap and water without the sink. I love being able to use this for a quick hand wash after a trip to a public restroom, before lunch at the mall, or after a Mommy&Me class at the YMCA.
Chesapeake Ribbons
This little whale grosgrain ribbon belt is preppy and cute and will be perfect to keep those pants up! Visit Chesapeake Ribbons for all kinds of handmade ribbon accessories for the entire family. Key Fobs for Mom or Dad, matching ribbons belts for Mommy and Daughter or Father and son, and super duper cute hair bows for your little girls! Mackenzie is a fan of their barrettes and we adore the varied seasonal collections they create for each holiday! They've got a Holiday Coupon going on right now - Enter code Special5 during checkout to receive $5 off your next order of $25 or more!

This cake is so beautiful I don’t ever want to take it apart! Part of me wants to just keep it in the nursery for the next 6 months! If you need a baby shower gift or are hosting a shower for a friend, and were thinking of getting creative by "making" a diaper cake as a centerpiece or for a baby gift - save yourself the trouble and hours of labor. Diaper Cakewalk has adorable and VERY affordable diaper cakes - tons of designs and colors to choose from. Even castles! I'm all over this particular design - The Burts Bees Blue and Mocha 4 tier diaper cake. Includes 75 size 1-2 diapers, a cozy teddy bear, and a whole collection of Burts Bees baby care items!
Blessed Mom’s Baby Gear was founded by a Mom, inspired by her baby boy Braylon, who decided to launch a new company,
“Blessed Moms’ Baby Gear” to provide all moms with unique, affordable baby products and accessories that make caring for our children easier and fun! She’s sent us this Perfect Feeder and some handy Bottle Brushes to help make my life simpler! This perfect feeder is something I’ve never seen before, it has a snap on lid and two compartments for 2 jars of baby food! I expect this to be very handy both at home and when traveling or out to eat at a restaurant!
Blessed Baby – This “Blessed Baby” onesie is both sweet and hip at the same time. Check out this collection which has Blessed Baby faith designs in onesies, bibs, blankets, and baby hats.
Cute Slings
This brown and blue disco dot sling is hip, modern, and functional. I’m sure with Baby # 2 I’ll be using it all the time so my hands can stay free as I strive to keep up with both a newborn and my energetic 2 year old!
The Hipster Tots Boutique Book is the perfect gift for me --- as it is literally the scrapbook for someone like me who has no desire to make my own! Many of my friends love scrap booking, but I just can not be bothered!

absorbent quality bibs and burps! They have Mother Daughter Apron combo sets that would make a super cute gift to a friend or yourself - so you can host in style!

The founder and Mom, Ane, created the Shower Hug™ after having her first baby to ease the pain of sore, sensitive and uncomfortable breasts! I’ll be anxious to try out this contraption in the days following delivery! It is made out of the softest, most luxurious knit terry velour to provide both expectant and new moms with gentle bust line support and to soothe sensitive nipples and breasts associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are many benefits of the shower hug, but for as I recall what beginning to breastfeed was like after having my daughter, I definitely think this will come in handy for me if I use it as a warm compress to soothe and ease engorgement as recommended as one of the many benefits of the Shower Hug.

There are many benefits of the shower hug, but for as I recall what beginning to breastfeed was like after having my daughter, I definitely think this will come in handy for me if I use it as a warm compress to soothe and ease engorgement as recommended as one of the many benefits of the Shower Hug.Kaboodle Kids, who specializes in fashions from afar, sent us an African Adventures tee shirt for
the new baby boy. This designer online boutique features unique South African children's clothes from Bug Zoo and Hooligans Kids. This bold, bright, and fun animal print tee will be a sure hit as I know every toddle is fascinated by animals!

Congratulations on raising even more money for Project Peanut Butter!! I'd play the games but my first labor wasn't super quick, my belly is marred with stretch marks, my nursery is empty, and both my daughters were just a little above average size. So...I'll just say my preferences are the Kaboodle Kids and Hermajestee. They all look fantastic though.
count me in!
Wow, what a fun shower! I will play one of the games tommorrow..it is too late tonight. The gifts look fabulous! Here are my top four picks although I would love any!
#27, #17, #22, #8
I won't be playing any of the games since I haven't had any kids yet but I still blogged about the party. This will be fun. I can't wait to see some of the submissions.
my top picks for prizes are:
KN Karen Neuburger Jammies
Hanes gift set
Blessed Baby Onesie
Downtime Sleepy Hat
Pick Me! I'm going to be a grandma in February. I have boys and I'm going to have a grandson! God knew exactly what he was doing when He made me a Mom of boys. Now I will be the grandma of boys! His name is Isaiah!
We would love any of the prizes, but I was eyeballing #8,10,13,14 38 and 45.
What an awesome idea! I LOVE the blue & brown polkadot sling, as well as the "Big Sister" tee from Uncommonly Cute! (Maybe ours will be a big sister sometime next year...we'll see!) :)
God bless!
wow i hope i can win something nice. i'm 36 weeks and having a boy. i wish i had a blog i'd probably win the baby bump pic.
game 1- my 1st daughter was born in 3 hours.
game 4- my 2nd daughter was 8 ibs. 121/2 oz 21 inches long.
prizes- 29,13, anything else
bwalleshauser@yahoo.com
Congratulations Colleen! What an awesome shower!
I have a little boy and he is such a joy.
Oh I LOVE these:
Little Stork Sak, Neat Solutions, Cute Slings, Hanes Basket, My Baby Can Talk, Momspit, Tybook, well, they're all great! : )
Game #1-I was induced the day after my due date and ended up being 4 cm when I walked into the delivery room. My doctor broke my water and it was smooth sailing from there. I got my epidural 30 minutes later so I never felt contractions (it helps that I was a Labor and Delivery nurse at that hospital...I got "the treatment"). I was 10 cm 4 hours later, pushed for 1 hour, and had little E. So all in all it took 5 hours to have. Not bad for a 1st baby.
Game #4- My little guy was 8 lbs 13 oz.
My prize choices
Time out rug ( I could use this now!!!)
Little Stork Bag
Cute Sling
Neat Solutions
Colleen congrats! This is Kathy's sister, I guess it's safe to now start letting people know that I too am pregnant! 14 weeks this Sunday 11/11. So I guess I can't play any of the games yet since they don't apply. Anyway, mazel tov!!
Prizes: 23,10,1,9
Congratulations - how exciting! All of the gifts look wonderful - so fun to see all of the great baby items. I'll play along on my blog later today! :)
So hard to choose from all the great prizes, but I guess my favorites are #8, #13, #19, #23, #37 and #46.
It's so fun to see everyone's comments and blogs. Mine is at http://cushiepushie.blogspot.com
Col, I can't wait for your new arrival and to find out his name. The cyber shower prizes look great. Btw, Kenzie looked very cute as a bumble bee last week.
Favorite prizes include: 9, 17, 28, 38
This wonderful Colleen. Thanks for your kind words about our bib and burp set AND about One Chic Mama. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and you get plenty of rest! Take good care.
I love your Classy Mommy Site. Very well organized. :)
I love the site and all the gifts look great. What I thought was an easy labor of just over 7 hours from water breaking to delivery is much longer than a few who have already posted.
I have a niece who is delivering in Dec her first baby - Diaper Cakewalk, blessed mom's baby gear, cute slings or one chic mama.
Thanks
Aww, none of the shower games really apply to me. This is my first pregnancy, so I that knocks out two of them, and we don't have the money to afford anything for the nursery yet. At 5 months along, my bump is just barely coming in, but I guess I could still post a pic of it. The prizes I am really interested in are 23, 29, 8, and 25. This is such a great cause, and the gifts are beautiful!
I cannnnnnot wait. You guys are awesome. I love coming to your blog. Count me in!
Love Classy Mommy!

Wow, this is TOO awesome for words! Such great products and giveaways! I love them all, but as for favorites, I'm gonna go with 7,13,19,22,24,and 45! Thanks for these awesome chances to win!
Ooops, I'm a non-blogger (I know, what am I waiting for!) and forgot to add my email! Sorry!
sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com
I already left a comment under Megan, totally needed to do one that had my blog link, huh? But here it is! Great job on all of this, keep up the fabulous work!
I'm probably cheating, but enter me to win any of those prizes! They all look fabulous and you are a lucky Classy Mommy to be receiving them!
As far as labor stories go, I don't mean to brag, but my first child took less than 4 hours to deliver... starting from first contraction and water breaking to no epidural and only a few pushes before he was born. My advice - work out! Do lots of activities, water aerobics, whatever your body can handle. You can do it!
This is a very neat contest, my grandaughter Megan is really impressed with it...Keep up the good work.

My wife and i are expecting our new baby in a few months and she would love prizes 8, 23, 29, 25. btw awesome site guys.
So many prizes I cannot even decide what I would like!
I think I would like prizes:
#4, #38, #23, #14, #7
I also posted my game answers on my blog as well!
www.chesapeakeribbons.com
My first baby was born very quickly. I had Braxton hicks for days, but kept going in and no progress.
I woke up in the middle of the night in a little more pain, waited a bit, called the doctor, waited a bit, then finally went in. The pain still wasn't too bad. The worst part was the nausea.
Weren't the nurses surprised when they checked me and found out I HAD WALKED INTO THE HOSPITAL FULLY DILATED! WOW! 30 minutes of pushing and I was done. Best I can figure my labor was 4 hours, but I don't "officially" know when it started.
I like prizes #35, 44, 23, 43.
Thanks! This is fun!
Being prego with my first I can't quite play the games but I'd still like to win the prizes. I love them all but my top choices are
10, 22, 23, 24.
Game 1: 3 hours from the doctor breaking my water to induce me
Game 4: 8 lbs 15oz, 20 1/2 inches long and 13inch head
Prize pick: 19, 7, 27, 43, 24, 16
What a great shower and prizes
Game #1: 1st child 2hr 45min
2nd 4hr
3rd 1hr 10min
4th: 1hr 45 min
Game #4: My largest baby was 9 lbs an 4 oz (the last one)
Prize picks: 19, 27, 13, 7, 43
My sister told me about this and I am so glad I remebered :)
I would love to play. My only labor was induced but from them breaking my water I had my daughter in a little over 2 hours (it was so quick that my family almost missed it when they left for a quick bite to eat :)) She was not too big, 7lbs 2oz
If I win I would pick the PJs (19), hanes (13), Princess store (27), Spit kit (24), book (43)
Congratulations on your baby boy! What a wonderful event with such a good program to support. As an expecting mommy, I would love to have any of the prizes, but I guess my four picks would be #8, #23, #27, and #29.
mangoes_r_evil@hotmail.com
Honestly, I won't win any of the games, my labor was long and my kids were average weight. What a great list of prizes. So, here are my picks: 5,10,13,24,27,29,43,44
Congratulations Colleen on a successful baby shower. The list of prizes is absolutely amazing! This is a true testament to the goodness of people willing to take the extra step for a GREAT cause!! Everyone involved should be proud!
I wish i was able to post my pictures...my first pregnancy was twins and my bump was surely a sight to be seen. I may have had the longest labor if you count going into labor at 30 weeks followed by two long stints in the hospital to "stop" labor, six long weeks on bedrest only to have an emergency c-section.
Thanks again for the opportunity to win some great prizes...I would love to receive any of the gifts posted but my top four favorites would be: #22, #27, #5, and #29.
nicole_mikek@hotmail.com
Congrats on raising all this money for a good cause. Classy Mommy is a wonderful site with great reviews on must have products for mom and baby.
Game 1 - My son turned breech at week 36. My c-section was scheduled two days before my due date for 10am, but was I bumped for an emergency. My son was born at 1:52pm.
Game 2 - I don't know how to post a pic. I have pics of me in a bikini right at the end. I was all belly and beautiful.
Game 3 - Pic issue again... Nursery is modern, clean lines and can be modified for boy or girl. We created a specific room for a nursery. Then each child will "graduate" into another room. The closet is designed for a baby's needs. Could not live without it...We want more kids ;-)
Game 4 - My son weighed 8lbs. 7oz and 20 1/2"
I'd be thrilled to win any of the prizes!
Gifts: 13, 14, 21, 23, 29
Congratulations Col! Great shower - it's wonderful how much money you have raised! My favorite prizes are #5, #19, #27, and #31.
kelyoung20@verizon.net
Would love any prize but top three picks are. 23, 19,13
I don't see the Mr. Linky anywhere there, so I'l just leave a comment! I blogged about your party, and entered the Game #1, but I don't think I'll win that one!! The link is here: http://jonathanandandrea.blogspot.com/2007/09/countless-contests.html
Grats on the baby! Number 23 is my favorite, but anything would be great!

game # 1- water broke with darrell @ 7 am in the morning,had him at 10:10am..that was including emergency surgery! at the last few contractions while pushing one of the nurses shoved a gas mask on me(i was going natural and she didnt know that-i am allergic to the gas)i started immediatly to throw up everywhere,causing darrell to pull back and he breeched .immediatly after he started out again with me gagging and he could not come out.his legs were tucked at his waist and he lodged up. all in all a quick delivery,but tough recovery for me.as the one lady sayed above,stay fit,healthy,and eat good,,it really helps!rita had to be born c section because of the problems above...

Great cyber shower! Here's the full story of both my quick deliveries:
http://loislanelive.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/3-pushes-my-2nd-birth-story/
Don't worry, the second birth will be faster and less painful than the first. My second baby took three pushes... about two minutes (5 at most)! Good luck!
I'm most interested in #15, #19, #2, and #32. Thanks so much! :)
Count me in! Thanks!

Rhyme Tease
Lisa Leonard
colleen, such a great cause and a fun idea for a cyber shower. good luck to you and your baby boy to be for a safe delivery. will love to hear when he arrives. any prize would be fine
I have my entry up on my blog at A Frog In My Soup. This is so fun. I am entering in games number 2 and 4. I would enter game number one, but my first labor was my longest by far!
Wow, what a fantastic give-away!! This was sooo hard to decide...here are my top 4 choices...I think! LOL I spent sooo much time thinking on this...hehe
#23 (fav!), #29, #8, #38 (If not these, count me in for any prize!)
Great question ideas! I've answered over at 5 Minutes for Mom... but I'm certainly not going to win anything for them.
What an awesome set of prizes! But you can leave me out of the draw since I've already been so spoiled at our shower a few weeks ago. I'd rather other women win.
You're the one working so hard to have this little boy, I think you should at least get a little extra pull when it comes to deciding the name! My daughter is pregnant and could really use some of this stuff, I don't know for sure what she would want, but here are some choices anyway.
Hanes Variety Basket
Little Stork Delivery Bag
Neat Solutions Gift Basket
Diaper Cakewalk
I have signed Mr. linky with a link to my post. Please enter me in your contest.

Well, first, Congratulations!
Second, thanks for the giveaways!
Third, I had a LONG labor and an average baby. He room is super cute - it is also in a jungle theme of sorts - not "real" obvious but a slight overall look - very muted.
As for my picks, I would agree that I would LOVE to win anything, but as always, if I had to pick, I would choose one of the following: The Neat Solutions Gift Pack b/c I'm a huge organizer, The Konfidence Jacket - I've heard great things about these, The Karen Neuberger Pajamas would also be great, and finally the Lisa Leonard jewelry - it is beautiful! Again, thanks!!

As a mom through adoption, my first labor was 2 1/2 months as we waited for our travel call after our referral. I had our son's picture memorized and would sit in his nursery in the rocking chair and make up new songs. We would test our phone several times a day as you never knew when "the call" would come. We rejoiced when signs of our labor progressing- our US visa arrived, our sons visa and passport was issued,someone who traveled to Korea for their daughter sent us new pictures and happened to see our son, but we got very boring towards the end as we waited for our travel call and then the glorious day arrived- 5 days later we were on a plane and 5 days later we were traveling back to the US with our new son!
Love the polkadot sling.
Count me in! I would be interested in prizes, 13, 29, or 38! =)
Forgot to say...I played the games over at my blog...come check out my answers! =)
Game #1: My 2nd son was born this past August 15th, 2007. I stayed around the house with some severe cramping until I finally decided I was really in labor. Then when I finally got admitted into Labor in Delivery I was 5 cm. I was waiting for my epidural when I suddenly felt the urge to push (about 20 minutes after I had been checked and declared to be 5 cm). I hit the nurse call button and she checked me and said the baby was coming and it would be a natural delivery! I felt the urge to barf just thinking about a painful unmedicated birth, but I only pushed about 3 times and he was there! It was so fast and there was my baby! I still can't believe that happened to me.
Game #4-- This medication-free birth resulted in a 8 lbs, 11 oz baby. We just got weighed and at 9 weeks old he was 15 lbs, 2 oz, putting him in the 97th percentile. He is a healthy BIG breastfed baby! I'm impressed with his progress b/c his older brother has been 50th percentile his whole life!
I would like to win:
1) The Happy Panda gift certificate - I want to get my 2 boys some matching outfits!
2) The "My Baby Can Talk" sign language DVD's
3)The Deluxe Little Stork delivery bag
or
4) The Diaper Clutch!
5) Mom Spit!
May you have all of the medication your childbirth requires!
I just wanted to add that my baby Deacon, who I like to think of as "Deacon the Hut" since he is enormous, shares a room with me so we don't have a cute nursery photo to show off. And since he is the second born, I regret to say I only took one belly picture and it wasn't very impressive. But I might try to dig it up. :)
I love this! It was my first time and oh so much fun :)
I like #1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 37.
I like the Happy Panda set and Diaper Cakewalk the best though.
I would love to be entered for a chance to win! I love the Happy Panda and Neat Solution gift packages. I also love the Time Out spot, and the Hanes gift. I would be happy to win any of them, though. :)
Thanks for the chance!
my first labor was 6.5 hours, from water breaking to body out.
my most recent labor, less than two weeks ago, was my little boy. he was born after just over an hour of labor!
he was 8 lbs. 2 oz, 22" long, and 14.5" head!
my prize choices: 23, 14, 8, 9, 11, 17
I am going to enter to play Games 2 and 3. I have posted my best baby bump photo and my best nursery photo here...
http://thepitterpatterboutique.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-best-baby-bump-photo-and-nursery.html
I hope you enjoy.
For my top 4 choices I would choose...

2. (#3) Blessed Moms’ Baby Gear will provide one winner with The Perfect Feeder.
3. (#38) The Diaper Clutch will give one free diaper clutch of the winners choice.

Well, I don't have my own blog ... so I'll enter here ... I want to play game #1
I had a sweet beautiful natural birth with our first... I was at the Dr.s for my appointment on Nov. 16th -- I was 40 weeks - they said I was 4 centimeters ... I got home about 5pm and starting complaining to my husband about a backache ... about 8pm the backache was really getting annoying so I decided to start timing it :) -- I was 3 minutes apart and I was starting to have a hard time talking thru the backaches :) so we headed to the hospital! We arrived at the hospital at 9pm and my contrax. stopped completely ... we went on up to labor and delivery and when the nurse saw me walking in she said there was NO WAY I was in labor but she would check anyway ... she checked and I was 9 centimeters -- ready to deliver! :) When I got up out of bed Contrax. started again and our little girl made her arrival at 10:35pm a healthy 7lbs.!!
My picks of the prizes would be ...
1.little stork gift certificate
2. cute slings
3.happy panda
4.chesapeake ribbons
