Maternity Monday: Alma Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are my favorite one-and-done alternative to dresses, and this one is made for moms-to-be!
This jumpsuit from Nom Maternity veers toward office territory with its snap front (perfect for nursing or pumping after your little one arrives) and self-tie sash. The go-with-anything navy organic cotton gauze fabric is as comfortable and breathable as it is practical.
Pair it with polished flats for the office or sneakers for the weekend.
The Alma Jumpsuit is $128 at Ingrid+Isabel and available in sizes XS–XL.

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?
Have an unexpected day in Palm Beach FL next week, during the week, with a 3 and 5 year old. Any recs? I thought the Cox Science Center and Aquarium looked fun.
Need a sanity check. Will ofc check with ped, too at the next visit.
DS #2 is 14 months. He says a few words (Baba, Mama, Hey/Hi, Yeah) but nothing super regularly. It’s a lot of babbling. He points, waves, and high-fives but can give a crap about clapping. He’s not walking yet, but crawls fast and can get up the stairs, pulls up on things/cruises. We try to practice with the walker supervised.
He was also not preemie, but low birthweight (5 lbs+), so he’s always been on the smaller side, but I think is probably close to ~20 lbs by now so that’s always been a concern.
Does this sound developmentally normal? DS #1 was walking at 12 months, and I was easily able to teach him and have him parrot back words. Not sure if he was just naturally more advanced or what.
I have a bonus coming my way that I didn’t fully expect. (Yay!) I’m wanting to splurge on a fitness tracker. I’m interested in the Bellabeat Ivy. I was wondering if anyone has tried it?
I’m not an Apple product user. So it anything I do purchase would need Android compatibly.
Thanks Hive!
What are your thoughts on alliterative names? DH and I like the name Leo for our babe-to-be, but DH’s last name starts with an L and I’m worried that Leo Lewis (not his real name, but you get the idea) would sound gimmicky. I realize he could take my last name, but for various reasons we are not leaning towards that.
Covid finally got us. Help me make sure I’m understanding the procedures:
Husband had congestion starting Wednesday. Got a positive test Friday morning and immediately began masking, but we are not able to fully isolate him.
I understand that myself (triple vaxxed) and our 6 y/o (vaxxed) are okay to go about our lives provided we are asymptomatic and mask in public/at school. What I’m struggling with is how long the unvaxxed 2 y/o has to stay home. It’s 5 days from last exposure, but when is that? Friday morning? The day my husband has no symptoms?
