I haven’t heard of this brand “Walking Cradles” before, but they’re highly (highly!) rated on Zappos, and these strappy 2.5″ heels are one of their top rated styles. It looks like a comfortable and versatile shoe, and it’s $94 at Zappos. (I’m also a fan of this style and this style.) Happy weekend! Rose Petals Caliente Slingback by Walking Cradles

Has anyone hired a babysitter/nanny from care dot com? DH & I are looking for a part-time nanny of sorts to help him out while he’s job-searching. I posted on care dot com and so far, it seems good, but I’d love to hear “real life” stories. Bonus points for metro-NYC area!
Just wanted to update everyone who was nice enough to tell me positive stories about c-sections last week– I had my 38 week checkup, and she’s still breech and my dr. thinks it’s unlikely she’ll turn. So I’m scheduled for a c-section on Thursday, unless she turns before then. To quote Jessie Spano on caffeine pills, “I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so scared!” Mostly excited to finally not be pregnant anymore and to finally meet her.
