Entry Prize for Every Contestant:
More than one Winner!
- What Babies Want Film Viewing & Panel Discussion. Film directed by Debby Takikawa & narrated by Noah Wyle. Panelists include filmmaker, Debby Takikawa, Film Editor David Tarleton, Wendy Anne McCarty, PhD, RN, Marti Glenn, Phd, Mary Jackson, RN, LM, RCST
This innovative film is about the profoundly important and sacred opportunity we have in bringing children into the world. Surprising and sometimes shocking, it challenges our beliefs about what infants are thinking and doing. It includes ground-breaking information on early development as well as appearances by the real experts: babies and their families.”

Weekly Theme Winners for Four Contestants:
- A year-long APPPAH Premier Membership, valued at $250
- The Bond Film Viewing by Stephen Gyllenhaal (documentary designed for expectant parents, bringing together the data from In Utero and the experiences of four pregnant women.)
The Bond is a documentary designed for expectant parents, bringing together the data from In Utero and the experiences of four pregnant women. Featuring many of the experts from In Utero, The Bond gently weaves the mothers’ stories of excitement, fear, and drama with hard science – delivering simple and clear answers on how to approach what is without question the most important time in all of our lives. What emerges is that nothing is more important than the bond between mother and developing child.
