It’s nice to see that Nordstrom has started carrying some BaubleBar pieces, including this popular statement necklace that they’ve had for forever. I have it in orange (I think it’s the only thing in my closet in orange!), and I like it — it’s a huge, huge statement necklace, but it’s so easy to throw on with a simple piece like a neutral t-shirt or fitted sweater. It’s $38 at Nordstrom, available currently in blush, turquoise, gray, and mint. BaubleBar ‘Bold’ Multistrand Beaded Statement Necklace
It’s also available at BaubleBar in black, cerulean, cracked white, navy, and tortoise shell.

Hey, SoCalAtty here! I just saw your comment you are going Pasadena to Woodland Hills.
That’s actually not a bad commute AT ALL – you’re right, you’re on the 134 with carpool lanes, and before 7 the traffic isn’t bad. Leaving at 4 won’t be GREAT but it won’t be like leaving at 5. I used to do Burbank – Woodland Hills and it wasn’t bad at all. I used to start at 7 because we had east coast clients and that was an easy drive in.
Question for the mom hive: I’m due with my first in April and thinking of having a night nurse for the few weeks. I have a decent amount of experience with babies, just not my own babies, but DH has none. Waste of money or worth it? DH and I are 35 so we have the cash, although there’s lots of other things to spend the cash on! I plan to breast feed so plan to be up at night some anyway.
I’m feeling super burnt out. I’ve been sick for a month, and I’m sick of the non-stop household routine of dishes, laundry, cooking, etc. Totally normal inconveniences keep coming up, and I feel like each one knocks me off my game more than it should (foot injury, flat tire, jury duty, plumbing issues). Unfortunately, escape/vacation is not an option. Any tips for embracing the chaos/changing my outlook/having fun again? Right now I hate being an adult.
I’ve decided to fully wean my kiddo in a couple weeks (I’m traveling next week, so I’m going to wait until the weekend after I get home). I’m trying to think of a little bedtime routine that will act as a substitute; a song we can sing together or a (simple, quiet) game or a special book. I would love any suggestions!

My two year old discovered a dirty diaper will get him taken out of church for a change. For the past few weeks, when he is over sitting still in church, he starts shouting “poop” at the top of his lungs. It works. Are all toddlers master manipulators?!?!
Has anyone taken Diclegis for nausea during pregnancy? I would say I have pretty standard symptoms — not throwing up very often, but constantly feel nauseous to the point that it makes it hard to focus at work. My doctor gave me a sample of Diclegis and it has made a huge difference. It is listed as a Class A drug so appears to be as safe as any drug can be. But, I don’t know anyone who has taken it and my previous doctor never mentioned it during my first pregnancy. I guess I am wondering why, if it appears to be safe and pretty effective, more people aren’t taking it. I know there were some concerns about birth defects in the past, but the studies appear to show no such link.
I posted this over on the main site last night but figured I should also post it on the Mom’s Site for opinions. I don’t know if everyone here reads the main site too. I got a few answers there but would love to get a few more answers from moms.

I recently had an opportunity to speak with some very influential people in my state bar about gender equality issues. This came up organically as part of a networking hour before an event. I was able to get one good point across – it’s great that we now have almost as many women as men in our bar but things aren’t exactly “right” until we see more women partners. I also should have added and more women in non “pink” practice groups.
The very influential person said something like “I don’t know how you women are able to do it.” I really wanted to respond with “the same way the men are able to do it” considering that many women do it by having a supportive husband at home or with hired help. I didn’t end up getting to make that point and in retrospect I’m not sure if it would have helped or hurt the cause. I feel like the cause is divided between “be family friendly” and women can do everything men can do without special accommodations and I don’t want to alienate either side.
I think the best answer is to have family friendly policies that both genders utilize.
I have such mixed feelings because I want to be mad at the “how you women do it” comment — do we ask that of the dad’s? But I also want to recognize that the struggle is real and many women are trying to figure out how to do it. When I ran this by my husband, he thinks we do say to dad’s “how do you do it all” but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it.
If you had a chance to respond to that comment, knowing you were speaking to someone big (think governor or head justice) who was open to criticism on the issue but has been a very helpful ally that you don’t want to alienate, how would you have responded?
