Maternity Monday: Cowl Neck Sweater Tunic

I only had one maternity sweater for all of last winter, just making do with cardigans for most of last winter — but I really like this cowl-neck sweater-tunic from Old Navy, which looks like it would be nice with leggings, skinny cords, pencil skirts, or even as a top layer on top of some more summery tank-type dresses. The sweater is available in sizes XS-XXL at Old Navy, and is $26.94 full price. Old Navy Cowl Neck Sweater Tunics

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I was just given this top as a gift, and love it (although it runs a little smaller in the bust than most ON maternity clothes). I wouldn’t really call it a sweater, though — it’s a knit that is more substantial than, say, jersey, but still pretty thin.
Super bummed. We’re TTC and I just found out I have a torn meniscus in my knee, and might need surgery.
I know it’s good to find out now, in case I do need surgery, but I’m bummed we might have to put baby making on the back burner while I have surgery. I’m glad I finally got some recognition about my knee pain – I’m young and relatively healthy, so for the most part my doctor seemed to brush off my complaints. With the MRI staring her in the face, she suddenly sprang into action and is all about getting me physical therapy, consult with the ortho, etc.
I like the large scoop neck/cowl neck on this sweater. High-neck maternity shirts and sweaters – or even turtlenecks?! – are not for me, as I constantly feel hot and claustrophobic and uncomfortable in them.
Aaaaand morning sickness has arrived. Just found out last week that I’m completely, totally, unexpectedly pregnant with #3. By my best guess I’m between 5-7 weeks along and hoo boy do I feel nauseous today. YUCK.
Any suggestions for mittens for a young toddler? My 14 month old needs something on her hands at the playground. We tried thumb-less knit mittens that a friend made this past weekend and my daughter would just flap her arms until they flew off. She also almost faceplanted going up the stairs to the slide because the mittens were slippery and she couldn’t use her thumb to grip.
I think something at least water resistant with some grip and a velcro strap at the wrist to tighten might work. Has anyone seen mittens like this for a really little one? She’s very mobile but only about 20 lbs. Also, has anyone had success getting their young toddler to wear said mittens or should I just save my money?
Thinking of you – hope things are improving!
Kat, just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for posting about the Giggle 20% off sale. It applied to absolutely everything. We got some big-ticket stuff— crib, mattress, and car seat—and some other things this weekend, and I kept waiting for them to tell us that some brands were excluded but they weren’t.
The sale goes through today at midnight if anyone has baby purchases to make.
I just want to thank everyone for the suggestions for my sister’s baby shower last week. I feel a lot better about hosting it now!
I like this; I think it would be pretty versatile. I’ve been surprisingly pleased with the Old Navy maternity sweaters I’ve gotten (both the V-neck and scoop-neck version of these: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1018212&vid=1&pid=978115012 ). They layer well and the necklines & ruching are pretty flattering. And since they’re short-term I guess I don’t have to worry about how well made they are, or are not (they seem fine though).
On an unrelated note, I carefully wrapped up a slice of leftover birthday cake to bring to the office today, and I forgot to bring it! Now, all I can think about is cake.
