I’ve long admired the popular waterfall cardigan at Loft — and they’re having great sales on it. It was a wee bit lower last night, during one of their flash sales — $15 — but if memory serves it was final sale at that price. I like the different colors it’s offered in (black, “dark ash melange,” and a dusky pink, as well as the space dye and tan striped version). It was $49.50, then was marked to $44.99, but with the extra 50% off code it comes down to $22. Waterfall Cardigan

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?
For the ladies here who are already moms, I’ve been hearing things about massaging your vag to hopefully prevent tearing. Did anyone do this and do you think it worked?
Any suggestions for pillows to support my lower back in an office chair? I’m 22 weeks along, and my back is already killing me, especially at work. I can make some adjustments to my office chair, but it seems to be pushing my shoulders forward instead of providing more lumbar support. Any other suggestions for dealing with back pain are also appreciated – I’m already using a body pillow.
Really liked Natural Hospital Birth (I was induced and had an epidural, so wasn’t natural by any stretch, but it helped me prepare) and The Birth Partner.
Ina May’s books scared me.
We also did the Laugh and Learn series of DVDs at home. After going to a class where they made me sit on the floor for 4 hours, I preferred the DVDs at home.
Anyone have any good recommendations for books to prepare yourself for labor and delivery? Looking for one that covers topics like physical and mental exercises to prepare yourself for labor, different pushing methods, midwives vs doulas, etc.
Also, any book recs that cover breastfeeding? First time mom here and I have no idea where to start to make sense of when to start pumping, latching issues, supply issues, etc.
Paging Ciao, Pues….
I didn’t have a chance to respond to your question about early morning wakings yesterday. I found the Baby Sleep Science resource blog moderately helpful in understanding more about why some babies wake up early. In case it is helpful to you, here is the link:

Hope you can sleep in soon! Like some of the other posters, I noticed my 16 month old has started waking a little later now that she’s down to 1 nap most days (like, 5:45-6 am to 6:15-6:30).
Ugh. We had storms at our house all night last night and it’s still pouring. While I was in the shower at 6 am this morning, all the power in our neighborhood went off. So husband and I had to get the kids up, breakfast, ready, and loaded into the cars in the pouring rain in the dark. And when I got out of my car at work, my umbrella immediately flipped inside out in the parking lot.
I also have my first meeting with our organization’s CEO today, and I had to let my hair air-dry. It looks ok and when it’s dry I can put it in a twist…but not ideal. Today is a day to just go back to bed and try again.
Pump quasi – emergency: I left my pump parts at home today! I have a full set of spare parts, except the spare part bag has just one flange. My company (is awesome and) sells spare parts, but they are Ameda. Does anyone know if the Ameda flange will work with the Medela tower? It’s the Medela Freestyle, if it matters!
