I am seriously obsessed with Alexis Bittar’s new collection of lucite, labradorite, and gunmetal accents, and I’m loving this fabulous bib neklace. It’s wearable in pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond… it’ll fit you when nothing else will, and it’ll draw more attention to your face (and away from any bust/stain issues you may or may not have elsewhere). It is, sadly, $445 at Nordstrom. Alexis Bittar ‘Lucite® – Imperial Noir’ Link Statement Necklace

At my 36 week appointment last week, I had my first ultrasound since 20 weeks and we discovered that the baby is in the breech position. I just got out of my 37 week appointment and she’s still breech. I feel like she dropped down this week, so she feels like she’s pretty far down in there. I’m trying to figure out how likely it is that she’ll turn herself around this late in the game. I forgot to ask my doctor about it, of course. I’ve tried googling it, but am just coming up with a lot of anecdotes and wacky sounding home remedies. Does anyone know?
Alternately, does anyone have any positive stories about having a C-section? I’m not upset about the idea of having to have one if she doesn’t turn, but people keep telling me how horrible they are.
Some days, pumping is just the most rotten thing. That is all.
Hi ladies! Question about traveling with an infant. We’re expecting our first in late November, and due to special events / family circumstances, will likely do two longish trips with the baby while I’m on maternity leave. Both by plane, one for 5 days and one for probably 10. Does anyone have recommendations for a travel crib or sleeping arrangements with an infant? For one trip, we’re staying with my parents, so I could ask them to buy a pack n play (or bassinet?) but it seems like a waste since we probably won’t be there more than once in the next year. The other trip is overseas so I’m a bit more concerned about using hotel cribs or borrowing things (my concern is they could be very old or unsafe). If we take our pack n play, will that stand up to being checked for an international flight? Other suggestions?
I waited until 22 weeks because I was concerned about my workload being negatively affected. Istarting around 7 months, I prepared a summary of outstanding items on each of my cases that I updated weekly.
Wow, that’s a REALLY hefty price for a statement necklace.
On another note, when did you (if you’re already a mom) or when are you planning to (if you’re pregnant) tell your employer about your pregnancy?
That reminds me – I’ve seen necklaces for mom to wear while baby is nursing, and I’m thinking of buying one. Anyone have experiences positive or negative? My kiddo likes to scratch and pinch me while nursing so I’m looking for a distraction!
Also, love this necklace. I would even consider paying that for it if I got a big bonus…which probably isn’t going to happen anytime soon.
I love, love, love, love this necklace for, like, $100. Full price? Not so much. I shall covet from afar.
