Happy Friday! I always think of Bella Vita as a comfort brand, but there’s nothing orthotic-looking about these sleek cutout booties. I like that they come in 6 colors and four widths (!) — and I like that they’re super affordable, clocking in just under $95. Bella Vita ‘Dylan’ Cutout Pointy Toe Bootie

Favorite nursing snacks in the early days? High calorie, non-crumbly?
Ok, thank you! I already called the hospital to see if they had a policy I could blame it on and they don’t, but the lovely woman I spoke to said they would be happy to make one up for me and the nurses would enforce it. Normally I try very hard to be a considerate person and take into account other’s feelings and include everyone. However, I feel like when I am almost naked, spread eagle, in excruciating pain, and pushing a baby out of my lady bits I should get a pass on worrying about other people’s feelings. Sorrynotsorry.
Who was in the room with you when you delivered (or who do you plan to have)? My MIL just assumed she would be in there and I am currently dealing with the fallout of my not being a fan of that plan.
41 weeks pregnant tomorrow and DH and I have zero plans for the weekend. If I’m not giving birth, would love to do something fun but am struggling to come up with anything! I’m still relatively active but don’t feel up for tons of walking. In DC, if that Helps… Any good ideas?!
So, I just found out I’m pregnant (#2). And my sister picked her wedding date two weeks ago, in which I’m the maid of honor. And I’m due 2 days after she’s getting married.
I was really late with #1 and would anticipate that with #2. But….how do I approach this with her? Obviously she’ll be happy for me, but I also know she’ll feel like it adds a huge layer of uneasiness to her day. The wedding is a state away (2 hour drive) but I am OK making the trek (worst case, I give birth in one of the best hospitals in the country, which is 5 miles from her wedding) assuming I am still healthy (again- had a totally normal pregnancy last time).
Mostly looking for things to include or say or not say when telling her. She’s fantastic and will not bridezilla-out on me. But I want to share this news in a way that won’t make her drive off the road when I tell her :/
Is it acceptable to give our baby the same middle name that his future cousin already has as a middle name? It’s a family name on both of our side’s and the name of three people who are very dear to us who have passed away (one recently). Worth mentioning: cousin’s mother is a bit…intense and I could see her getting angry. If we do go that route, better to give a heads up or just announce it once the baby is born?
This is my first time buying maternity clothes and I am ordering a few things online. If I am ordering Loft Maternity, would I order the same size as I would order in regular Loft clothes? TIA!
I didn’t get to say this yesterday – but I really loved our conversation on PP body. It was the first truly non-judgy conversation I’d had on the topic. Thanks everyone!
Does sleep training ever get better?! We have been sleep training our one year old this week and while she is getting better about sleep longer periods, there is still between 2-8 minutes of crying when we put her down. Like all out hysterical scream crying. It’s not very long, but I am just wondering if there will come a time when she can just got to sleep happy, like before she’s 30.
Starting a new biglaw job after taking time off with baby. Advice? Thoughts on making a good first impression right off the bat. Have practiced previously but that was right out of law school…
I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I can’t find it at the moment.
Daycare teacher gift question. I plan on giving my kids’ teachers gifts at Christmas, but the baby is moving to a different room this month. I’m going to bring in an edible thank you gift for all the teachers and helpers in her current room on her last day, but I want to do something extra for the two lead teachers as well. Do you think a cash/cash-adjacent “thank you” gift is tacky? I basically would give them the Christmas amount now, instead of at Christmas. Or I could just write thank you notes for them now, and include them on the Christmas list, even though they won’t be her current teachers anymore. Obviously I’m overthinking and they will be happy for the gift at any time, but nonetheless, thoughts?
