Ooh: hat tip to editor Kate for finding this fun, swingy sweater — it looks like it would be great, particularly if you’re in the “early pregnancy bloat” days or the “postpartum pooch” days. It’s available in 6 colors in sizes XS to XL, is hand washable, and is $32-$74 at Amazon. Karen Kane Seam Detail Sweater

LOL, I was literally just looking at this top.
It’s my husband’s birthday today and he’s also just arriving home today after a long business trip. So I had the idea of putting up decorations in the kitchen as a sort of welcome home birthday surprise — just some streamers and balloons, but it looked fun. I put it up after the kids went to bed last night and thought they’d also like the surprise in the morning. Boy did they. Twin A came downstairs first and was sort of like “meh, I’m more into this board book.” Twin B, however, made his “OMG” face and pointed at them and was really thrilled. I was pretty happy about that. Then he kept pointing at the balloons and signing “more” (which he uses to mean “give me”). I blew up a couple of extra balloons and gave them to the kids to play with. No. B wanted the balloons on the ceiling. Now. (“more, more, more,” point, point, point, fussy noise, louder fussy noise, “more”). “No, B,” I said. “You have a balloon. Those balloons need to stay on the ceiling.” More, more, point, point, fussiness. We wound up in full, complete, utter, tantrum mode. He couldn’t even eat his breakfast. He NEEDED THE BALLOONS NOW NOW NOW. Screaming. Flinging himself on the floor. Tears, snot, big patchy redness on his face, swollen crying eyes. More screaming. More pointing. The kid can throw a tantrum and he went all out on this one. For 20 minutes. Finally, I just pulled down all the decorations, popped the balloons, and put it all in the trash. Sorry, honey. Our kid ruined your birthday. Surprise! I did, however, manage to snap a cute photo of him pointing to the balloons when he first came in. It’s pretty cute.
Does anyone have any recommendations for cute tops to fit my massive nursing chest? I’ve always been “blessed” in this department, but I’m currently a 34H. I did not know cup sizes went that far down the alphabet.
Loose tops look like tents. Tight tops are not particularly flattering on my postpartum pooch and really just accentuate my gigantic chest.
Nursing friendly is a plus but not required. Dress recommendations also appreciated. I’m really just looking for everyday cute close. Not necessarily dressy or for the office.
Thanks!!
We have been planning on getting the Uppababy Cruz but weren’t in a rush because we’re facing the winter and thought we wouldn’t use it much until a few months after baby is born (we live in the city and are planning on mostly babywearing for the beginning). Someone mentioned we should just get the Chicco Caddy stroller to have for emergencies and to use with our Chicco Keyfit carseat, and hold off on the Uppa until we have a firmer sense of how we’ll be using a real stroller.
Q’s: Anyone here do this? Is it silly to get the caddy if we think we want a “real” stroller eventually? And is this the kind of thing I can buy gently used if we do go this route?
How do you deal with unsupportive coworkers? My boss is fantastically amazing about kid stuff, but the other lawyer in our group is not at all. She is single and childless. My kiddo is crazy sick today and may need IV support or to be admitted later today (I’m at work for a few hours), and when I mentioned that I may need to work remotely tomorrow, she sighed and complained that it would interfere with her plans and is there any way I could still come in? Ugh.
When I started pumping this morning, a whole bunch of milk got sucked up into the tubing and more seemed to spill out the bottom of flange (on one side only). When I disconnected the tubing,the remaining collected milk dropped down into the bottle. I’ve never had that happen before! Anyone know what causes this? I reconnected all parts and put in new tubing and that seems to solve it but I’d like to prevent reoccurence… (I’m using medala PISA if that matters).
Any thoughts on whether it is safer/better to fly or drive from east coast to Midwest with a 2 month old this winter? I know weather can be an issue and obviously driving seems riskier for adults, but I also don’t want my baby to get sick on the plane. What would you do?
My kiddo will be 2 1/2 this summer … which would be a better Christmas gift, balance bike or tricycle?
This sweater looks good for 2-months post partum me. Does anyone else have any good suggestions for this “postpartum pooch” phase as Kat calls it? Right now I look ridiculous in my maternity tops and like a sausage in my “regular” tops. I bought a tunic- length cowl-neck sweater that’s working and a “cocoon” top from old navy that I really like, but I need a few more options.
Did anyone choose an alternative to cows milk when baby was ready to transition off breastmilk / formula? Although my child does not appear to be intolerant to cow’s milk (we’ve given him yogurt), a lot of research we’ve read shows that cow’s milk is not in fact good for the human digestive system. So far, I have heard of almond, rice and goat’s milk as alternatives.
Sorry I missed the formula feeding discussion yesterday. I posted you a lengthy response, but then it didn’t appear… if you’re still here and reading, I’ll try again!
Thank you AEK for the nice shout out. I treasure the compliment that anything I may have to say could be considered “eloquently discussed”. Made my day!
In other news, I just learned that the sickness I’ve had for the last 48 hours is in fact the Hand, Foot and Mouth virus. OMG I’m so grossed out with myself right now. =(
