Our sweet Maxwell is already 10 days old — we can hardly believe it! And now that we know our baby’s gender I’ve partnered with Baby Be Blessed once again to gift one of you with one of their custom dolls. I just love their message + handmade items. When you order a BBB doll you select the doll’s hair color, skin color + outfit. Before Maxwell was born Baby Be Blessed sent us two dolls: one boy + one girl. It was so much fun guessing at what I thought out baby would look like when I sent them the specifics for the dolls. And now, when I look at Maxwell, I can’t help but notice how much the boy doll I selected really looks like him — blonde hair with a little tuft on the right side of his head :)

And to make this day even sweeter, Baby Be Blessed is offering one reader from the Gussy Sews community their very own BBB doll. To enter, visit their site and leave a comment here with your favorite doll. This giveaway is open to US residents only and ends on Thursday, March 28th. The winner will be announced at the top of this post {and emailed} the following day.

Want to save 20% on a Baby Be Blessed doll NOW? Use code “GUSSY” at checkout, good through March 28th at 11:59pm!

Have fun browsing their site, and good luck ;)

  1. Love the Hope doll and I am having a little girl in May, so a girl baby doll would be perfect! Love Max in his little sleeper with the mittens! He is beautiful. I always thought your pictures were great, but now seeing you capture him, they are truly beautiful!

  2. I am totally partial to Lucy Lou because we have a Lu also but I love the minky pigtails of MIss Elizabeth! Thanks Gussy and BBB!

  3. Lucy Lou is my favorite because that is the nickname I have for my little blonde haired girl. :)

  4. I love Hope! My husband and I are adopting, and have no idea what our baby will look like, but “Hope” is just perfect! :)

  5. I would choose Ruthie Mae. I love her little curl in front with the now right there, as well as her hair color. If I got to choose I would also have her outfit made with the construction zone fabric.

  6. I love the Ben doll! I have a son who is 5 months old today and the doll looks just like him. I can just picture him grasping it in his arms. :)

  7. We LOVE the miss Caroline doll. My little girl is 5 months and we haven’t gotten her the first baby doll yet, because I wanted it to be special. I’m so glad we found these!!

    Thank you for the chance!

  8. These are so adorable! The Miss Grace reminds me most of my own daughter, but all of them make me smile!

  9. Congratulations on beautiful Maxwell!! He is precious! I just looove baby be blessed dolls and would love to get one for my daughter. I would go with Miss Caroline, she looks most like my girl :).

  10. Charles looks alot like my 1 year old. I think these dolls are wonderful as every child is a blessing from God.

  11. I’m due on March 30th so Sabrina the Ballerina would be perfect for my little girl! Congrats on baby!

  12. I LOVE the Lucy Lou doll. We are expecting a baby girl at the end of June. This would be so fantastic. I LOVE the scripture on each doll and how they can be personalized.

  13. I love the Personalized Scripture Lion. My husband & I lost a baby back in the fall at 9 weeks. We are hoping that this is our month to bring a new little blessing into our home {only a few more days ’til I can find out if this is really it!}. Obviously, if we are pregnant… it’s WAY too early to find out the sex so I like the neutral lion.

    I have loved following your story with Maxwell, what a precious little man! What a great giveaway, thank you!

  14. I would pick either Charles or the Monkey. I depart for Ethiopia on a mission trip June 13th to visit my SPONSOR CHILD, Endalem. My dream is to purchase a doll w/ scripture on it (James 1:27 possibly) to take with me & take pictures of it all over to document the trip for my 4 year old & 1 year old. It’s going to be a long 13 days without my babies! I’m hoping I have a cell signal so I can send photos with the doll pictured throughout the trip & in the arms of Endalem. (Kind of like a “Flat Stanley” thing!!) I think the kiddos would LOVE that!

  15. Ah! I love these. I looked at them when you first posted about them, but they are out of my budget. I love the Miss Elizabeth doll. I am due in May.
    I hope you are doing well.

  16. Maxwell is absolutely precious! It’s so awesome to see all your pictures. I have an almost 2 year old girl and she loves her babies, so this doll would be a sweet gift to her! I love the Miss Elizabeth doll. So perfect and sweet. I’ve been admiring these dolls ever since you mentioned them!

  17. My Beloved is my favorite! We are adopting an African princess and I know she would love this doll.

  18. Mary Margaret is perfect for my two little blonde haired girls, and Margaret is my moms name, too! Maxwell is just precious!

  19. Maxwell is TOO PRECIOUS!! <3 Congrats <3
    I am 5 months pregnant & will find out the gender in 2 weeks! :D
    We have a 4 yr old girl that miss Sabrina looks like ;) Either way the gender of baby 2 we feel blessed! Buut we would like to have a boy to carry on daddy's last name ;) If so I am guessing Luis would look like him ;)

  20. I love love them all! I’m been stalking the website since we found out were expecting. My favorites have to be either the lion or the lamb (we aren’t sure what our baby is yet either) They are the cutest dolls I’ve ever seen!

  21. As I sit here with my brand new baby boy- born this am at 1:31, I can’t help but enter… Love the message the company sends. I think he is looking like the Ben doll so far. So exciting! Congrats on your little one!!

  22. Miss Elizabeth looks most like my 2.5 yo daughter, I think she would love it! Your sweet Maxwell is precious. :) I had my 3rd, also a boy, just a few days after you. :)

  23. The little boy Ben doll reminds me of my almost 3-year-old. He would love a doll that looks like him and would be a good little daddy to him!

  24. I love the Miss Sabrina doll it reminds me of my daughter Ava :) She would love it!!! Thanks for the great giveaway. Congrats Gussy on your perfect baby boy!!

  25. These are the sweeeeeeetest!!! I have a 1yo boy and a 3yo girl, plus two big girls! We would love to win this so much!!!!!

  26. These dolls are previous. I would love the little boy buddie Charles. My son is 4 mos and his name is Charles. :). The dill has the same color hair as my little guy too. Love to you and Maxwell.

  27. I love my Beloved. Such a sweet sentiment. Maxwell is adorable!! Can you believe that he is yours yet???? Congratulations again!!

  28. Our little girl is due in May, and I would love the Sabrina the Ballerina doll for her. Thanks for the opportunity to win! They are so adorable!

  29. Totally love the Miss Elizabeth doll. Looks just like my little lady :)

    Congrats on your little Maxwell. He is adorable!!

  30. I would have to go with the boy buddy, as that is what we are having in June!!! :] But I have no clue what he will look like as all of our children look so different. We have a black, light brunette, and red head (hair color). 2 of the three are super fair while one has a gorgeous olive tone. So who knows. But we’re guessing this one will be blonde. it would at least even out our collection. Lol :]

  31. Love the Miss Elizabeth doll for my Frances. Or the Ben doll for my Augie. I’m encouraged by your faith.. So thank you for that.

  32. Miss Elizabeth is adorable (those pigtails!). My little one is due in May, and I’d love to design a customized doll for her..

  33. I am loving #04 Jacob Michael! He looks so much like my Liam! :) He is at an age right now where he is playing with stuffed animals and using his imagination. How fun would it be to have a doll that looks like him!? :)

  35. I am love with the “My Beloved” Doll I think she is the most sweetest doll I know sweet Gabrielle would fall head over heels in love. Thanks so much for the chance.

  36. Miss Elizabeth is my favorite! I’ve been coveting BBB dolls since I first learned about them on Gussy Sews, and have been following them on facebook, too. I love the daily verse they post on their status update.

  37. I simply love all there stuff. I have won a couple dolls from them in the past. But this one I would like Pay-It-Forward and give it to my niece. And I think she looks like a Miss Caroline…so that is who I would pick right now. ;) Little Maxwell is SO cute!!! Thanks for a great giveaway to you and Baby Be Blessed!

  38. i absolutely LOVE Hope!! Our adoption paperwork has been in S. Korea for almost 3 years…we’re still waiting on a referral. “But those who HOPE in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.: Isaiah 40:31

  44. Thanks so much for the giveaway! I would love the Louis doll for my son. He loves playing daddy to his stuffed animals!

  45. I love the Baby Be Blessed dolls! I love that they include scripture and a personalized message on each doll.
    My husband and I just had our 3rd baby on March 5th. We were not expecting to be pregnant so we thought it would be fun to not find out what we were having until delivery day. We ended up having a girl and I know she would love one of these dolls.
    If I had to pick just one favorite, I’d say “Miss Grace” would be it because my baby’s middle name is Grace. :)

  46. I love Miss Elizabeth and Bitty…….a close friend had a baby a few weeks ago early and this is perfect. Can’t wait to order one!

  47. The Baby Be Blessed Hope doll would be perfect for my little doll here at home! I HOPE I win!!!!

  48. I think I would choose the scripture monkey for my nephew that will be born in May. Thanks for the giveaway & the cute baby pics :)

  49. I’m in love with the doll Hope. We’re in process to adopt a little girl from China and Hope is so encompassing of this journey. Thanks for this chance! These dolls are amazing!

  50. Oh Miss Elisabeth is just how I imagine my little girl that I will be meeting in less than 8 little weeks! I think she would be a wonderful friend for our newest addition to the family!!!

  51. Having my baby girl in hopefully less than 2 weeks. I adore the Mary Margaret doll. Congrats to you on baby Maxwell as well. :)

  52. Oh how the caramel colored doll reminds me so much of my little girl. I can’t help but wonder how much baby #2 (who’s on her way) will look like her sister.

  53. oh, I love that your precious doll looks like your even-more-precious boy! so sweet. My favorite would have to be Miss Elizabeth– I cannot get over those precious pigtails! thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

  54. Awww, so cute…congrats on baby Maxwell! He is stinkin’ adorable! I love BBB ever since I first read about them a few years ago on Angie Smith’s blog, Bring the Rain. Baby Charles and baby Ruthie Mae are my favorites. Boy/girl twins are my secret hope for me and my husband someday. :)

  55. Those dolls are soooo cute if I ha to pick a favorite it would be Ben :)
    Soooo happy to Maxwell home with his mommy and daddy he’s beautiful. They grow up sooooo fast. Enjoy the newborn baby smell for as long as you can.

  56. Ruthie Mae has to be my favorite! I have a Ruthie and a redhead. All the dolls are so cute…I would need to choose 4 little girls to match the 4 personalities and looks of my girls. Thanks for the giveaway and congratulations on being a first time mommy!

  57. I love all the dolls…they are super cute! Being that I am only 10w4d pregnant, its obviously too soon to tell what we are having right now. Plus, I am a burnette with brown eyes. My husband is redheaded with blue eyes. I’m really not sure who Pipsqueak will take after. But I really like the Bunny. The reason being is that our last name is Hopkins and my husband has long been nicknamed “Hop” Hops” or “Hoppy”. So the bunny really fits the bill better than a personalized doll. hehe

  58. I love the Miss Sabrina doll! Looks just like my 2 year old with that side pony. :) These dolls are beautiful! And your little Maxwell is SO handsome. Blessings to you!!!

  59. Maxwell is such a sweetheart! I am 32 1/2 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I have curly blonde hair and my husband was born a blondy as well so we are thinking the little miss will be blonde as well and hopefully with my curls! So I think Dress Me Annie would be the closest to her. But we’ll see! :)

  60. I just LOVE these sweet dolls! And I LOVE what this company stands for! My very favorite doll is the Ruthie Mae little girl…so precious. Sure hope you have a beautiful and blessed day!

  61. I love the Hope doll although I would end up getting a boy ’cause I have twins. I’d order both of them the Louis or Charles doll. It’s kind of hard to choose between the two!

  62. i love the ruthie mae doll! so sweet! it would be perfect for our new baby girl olivia mae who is due in 9 weeks!

  63. I love the “Ben” doll. My little Ben has lots of “friends” that he carries with him everywhere! He sleeps with them at night and says that Jesus will protect him and his buddies. He would love one that looked like him!

  64. i love the ‘hope’ doll. not only is she cute, but i have been a huge fan of scc for a very long time! their heart for adoption also inspired me to adopt!!

  65. I really love all these dolls and their message is absolutely wonderful! I think my favorite is the Scripture Monkey – both my son and I love monkeys.

  66. I think I would get Charles ( for my son) or Mary Margaret ( for my daughter) I love these dolls they are so cute !

  67. CONGRATS on your beautiful son! Miss Helen & miss grace are just too cute. tough to choise between the 2. Love them both. Honestly, my girls would fall in love w/ANY of the treasures. Theyรขโ‚ฌโ„ขre all so special.

  69. These dolls are so darling! I know my little brown eyed girl would love the Sabrina the Ballerina doll!

  70. I absolutely LOVE the Dress me Annie doll! We are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. We would love to have this doll to pray over before we send it to her. You have to take two trips and would love to leave it with her while we wait to go back for the final trip.

  71. Baby Maxwell is soooo cute! Congrats.

    If I could choose I would pick Sabrina. I love the little braided pony tail… I was just on the website looking the other day and was thinking Little Sabrina would make a great 1st birthday gift for my daughter Lauren who is turning one on Wednesday… What a great keepsake too… The dolls are so cute! Thanks for the giveaway! Enjoy little Maxwell.

  72. Ruthie Mae is my absolute favorite! She’s adorable. How fun is it that you get to customize a doll and choose a special verse just for them.

  75. i love miss elizabeth… she reminds me so much of my Eden. i also love how her hair is in pigtails, like my little! i also love the verses that are on these beautiful dolls, makes me smile and warms my heart that my daughter will begin to learn scripture with her toys!! thank you for the giveaway!

  93. Oh we love the Dress Me Annie…that was my mom’s name whom is now an angel. I wanted to order one of these for our daughter’s baptism on 3/19 and I didn’t realize how long it took to have them made.
    Max is a doll. We didn’t find out the gender of our youngest and it was so much fun. If he would have been a she, she would have been Annie.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Enjoy these early days with your little Max!

  96. Congratulations on your new addition! What a blessing! I know you are super busy, but if you’re looking for some great baby picture ideas, I have just started a blog and posted some last week. They are of my first daughter when she was 10 weeks. http://illjustpaintit.com/?p=226. Take a look, I hope they inspire you.
    Best wishes,
    Rachel

  97. My husband and I are adopting our first child from Uganda, and since they don’t offer a race-appropriate doll, I think the personalized scripture bear is adorable!

  98. Before you posted the picture of your doll I didn’t even know they had the boy buddies. So cute! I picked out Ben as my fave (it looks the most like my little Beckett) but then I saw the animals and that lion is adorable too!! So cute! I’ve always liked the BBB dolls but had no idea they had the boys and animals so hasn’t considered getting one for our little guy. Now I think he’d love it! Thanks for sharing!
    PS. Your little guy is adorable! Congrats!

  99. I absolutely love the Miss Sabrina doll! And I love the precious animals, too! Thanks for the chance to win a sweet doll!

  103. Oh they are all so cute! I just had a baby girl in December and this would be a perfect first doll for her! The Miss Sabrina doll is my favorite!

  104. We are expecting our 2nd little boy! Such a blessing! I immediately checked out Baby Be Blessed when I first saw them on Gussy Sews, and I immediately fell in love! I love the Charles doll, and I think it would make a fun gift for big brother when his baby brother arrives, but I also love each of the animals, especially the lion. What a beautiful and unique gift. I have never seen anything like this that includes scripture verse. I just love these dolls! Thank you Maggie (and Zack and Maxwell!) for introducing me to this company!

  105. They are all SO cute!! And if I HAD to pick just one, I would choose Miss Grace, because one of my girlies is named Grace, too!

  106. Maxwell is adorable! I loved following your pregnancy as I am due with our first this Tuesday, April 2! I do not know the baby’s gender and can’t wait to see soon! So for a girl doll, my favorite is Sabrina the Ballerina and boy doll-Charles. :) thanks for the chance to win!

  107. I love the bitty dolls but it looks like they are all out if stock. I also love the Hope doll.

  108. I am torn between Charles and Joseph Ryan because I have two kids and each of those resemble my two kids. If I have to choose, Charles. :)
