This kind of looks like the perfect summer dress. Work-appropriate length? Check. High neckline? Check. Friendly to a growing bump? Check. I’d wear it with cardigans and blazers, and I’d even try it with a looser blouse layered on top of it (i.e., worn as a skirt). It’s available at Nordstrom for $79-$88.

Thank you for some other excellent post. The place else may anyone get that type of information in such a
perfect approach of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the look for such info.
Pretty! This has been a really wonderful post. Thanks for providing this information.
I’m clearly not cut out to be a princess. No way I could have stood in heels so soon after giving birth (nor did my hair or makeup or clothes or anything else look quite so polished — I left the hospital wearing my husband’s shoes and coat because none of my own things fit!)
Wanted to update today, since I had my appointment with the genetic counselor / perinatologist today after my OB finding that echogenic focus in baby’s heart. Everything looks FINE! Thank you again for all of you that shared their stories. With my bloodwork and other low risk factors, and baby’s normal femur and NT scan, we’re looking good!
I AM glad we went though, because we started talking about me having ulcerative colitis and how that can affect nutrient absorption, so he did some measurements to track growth and baby is perfectly on track. Since I’m not really hungry and lost some weight in the 1st trimester (I’m now 21.5 weeks), peri thinks it is a good idea to check growth again in 6 weeks to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. Part of why he thinks I am not hungry is because I’m just not very big, and baby is shaping up to be (I’m 5′, husband is 6’1″), so my guts just don’t have much room in there! But news is all good, bright spots, by themselves, are really nothing to worry about, and now I can just go find something else to worry about.
Anyone have a recommendation for a favorite step stool for a young kiddo? She is 15 months and just under 3′ tall, but it seems like most of the stools are too short to get her up to counter height. She really wants to wash her hands in the sink, and help put away silverware from the dishwasher, and I would love to encourage those behaviors.
A few vents to kick off Monday (yay!)
Husband had (has?) a man-cold all weekend, although to be fair, it was pretty nasty sounding. Pre-baby I was fairly sympathetic when he was sick and even babied him somewhat. This cold — I was just so freaking ANNOYED with him. It was his third or so cold this year (thanks, daycare) and I was just done trying to take care of anyone else.
My milk supply seems to have almost dried up. I’m pumping so little and the morning nursing session didn’t satisfy baby today. We made it 6 months exclusively BF and then another 2 combo feeding. I should probably ditch the pump entirely, but I’m not quite ready to give up the morning nursing session and given how sensitive my supply is, I think I’ll dry up completely if I don’t pump 1-2x a day.
No way, they give you too much stuff – pads, special mesh underwear, numbing spray. And you steal all the newborn diapers you can. Doctors say even vaginal labor is akin to major surgery! And you’ll be puffy from all of the IVs so much so that your largest shoes might not fit. Oh and if people bring gifts to the hospital (balloons, flowers), you have to transport those somehow.
But not a silly question!!
Urban mamas – you would not have wanted to walk home (about 6 blocks) from the hospital postpartum, right?
Recommendations for a bib my nine-month-old can’t pull off? He is very strong. I prefer something I can throw in the washing machine. A search on Amazon was overwhelming.
