We were so impressed by the comment participation -- and by the enthusiasm for "[Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy & Birth](/publications/childbirth/default.asp)" -- that we went with two winners instead of one. A big thanks to everyone who who left [such kind words](http://www.ourbodiesourblog.org/blog/2009/02/our-bodies-ourselves-pregnancy-birth-awards-accolades#comments). The names were selected by the son of OBOS web editor, Kiki Zeldes. As you can see from the photo, Jesse went to great lengths to ensure fairness. After printing and cutting out the names of everyone who left a comment between Tuesday and Saturday, he blindfolded himself and pulled the winners' names out of the bowl. Thank you, Jesse, for all your hard work on the first day of mid-winter recess! :) --- #### 3 Responses Our Bodies Ourselves is no longer able to accept comments. **Jill-- Unnecesarean** on Feb 16, 2009 Wheeeeeeee!
