Both my kids were cold-weather babies, and I would have loved to have something like this during those countless walks around the neighborhood.

Now that the holidays are in the rearview mirror, I’d like to skip over the speed bump of winter and head straight into spring. Since that is impossible, I’ll try to evoke spring with my wardrobe.

When I was pregnant, one wardrobe item that became a winter essential was the cross back (or open back) sweater.

It can be daunting to think about putting together a complete maternity wardrobe — but a set like this can help.
