I’ve always heard great things about Dobbin dresses, but someone recently clued me in to the fact that they’re almost all machine washable — love it, and especially the twist detail on this bracelet sleeve dress. The dress comes in sizes 00-16 for $168. Dobbin Belle Stretch Ponte Twist Dress

- 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?

It seems the stress of the divorce and being away from the baby every other weekend is causing my milk to dry up. I’m devastated. I’m eating oatmeal and almonds, adding a pumping session (or two) daily, but what else can I do? Any advice/commiseration?
DH’s family lives 4.5 hours away. We are both in the Midwest. We traditionally go to their house for Thanksgiving. We did not go last year because DS2 was a preemie and was not allowed out of the house until spring. DH has basically been refusing to make a plan because he hates the sleeping options at his parents’ house. DS1 is on a pull-out couch in the office. DS2 and I share a room with him in a pack and play and me in a full size bed. DH sleep in the basement on a broken futon. Sleeping accommodations suck all around.
Since DS2 was a preemie, DH took DS1 for a lot of solo trips to his parents’. All his siblings live in the town as well. DH has not been able to make a decision about whether or not we will go to his parents for Thanksgiving. Now this morning he tells me that there is a 50/50 chance that he will just take DS1 and leave DS2 and me home alone because it it too much of a pain to pack us and the cat up and find places for us to sleep. In theory I agree, but the thought of being alone on Thanksgiving with DS2 is a real bummer. He is 1, and I don’t have any friends in the town where we live. Suggestions?
Anyone get third-trimester nausea / vomiting? I am about 34 weeks and had my first sick night last night (never threw up in first trimester)— just got super nauseated and threw up out of the blue, then again an hour later. Am waiting for a callback from my OB, but I’m at work and feeling fine now, so I think it’s probably more pregnancy-related than viral or anything. I know everyone is different but just wondering if I might have more of that to look forward to?
