Labor Day is Coming Early This Year!

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***
***WINNER: #111, Sue***

Hi folks, it’s Toni here, filling in for Amy today, and I have some exciting news to share!

Guess what?!?!? Amy’s water broke this morning so the baby will be here sometime…. I say sometime because if you have been following Amy’s Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me? series you know she has had three very different labors.

In order to make things fun for us -because we all know labor isn’t fun until the baby arrives, Amy has decided to host a giveaway.

Amy is giving away a $25 Amazon gift card to the person who comes the closest to guessing the baby’s arrival time, gender, weight, length.

You can read about Amy’s other natural births: Baby 1, Baby 2, and Baby 3, on her site, and don’t forget you can link up your own birth story on Labor Day.

Until then, please remember to pray for Amy that she would have a fast delivery with no complications and that baby and mama would be healthy and back home soon!

To enter, leave a comment with your guess, this giveaway ends after the baby arrives. :)
