I’m about 12 weeks pregnant and my breasts have gone up close to a cup size. This is my first pregnancy. I have no idea how big they will get, but I know I need to start getting a maternity bra or two. Any suggestions? Will my band size stay the same throughout pregnancy? Should I just get something to fit me now and if they go up more, then get something then? I suppose that’s all I can really do. Any tips for maternity bras? My OB said many women like to get nursing bras and just wear them through, but I have no idea what size to get.
I’m in a colder climate, so while I’ve been wearing sports bras, shelf bras, etc., the past few weeks, I really need something that will hide, uh, chills in the air.
I absolutely love this dress, but can’t figure out for the life of me where you would wear it. Wouldn’t wear a velvet dress to work, particularly a white one with a pattern. But the color/pattern seems too casual or summery for a holiday party. What is this dress intended to be?
Hi C-Moms – any alternatives to American Girl dolls that you’re particularly enamored with? My two nieces, ages 3 and 5, are getting AG dolls from “Santa” for Christmas. My daughter is also 5 and plays with her cousins quite a bit, so I want to get her a reasonable facsimile (not spending $100+ on a doll she hasn’t specifically asked for) in order to ward off any cases of the gimmes. My daughter also really likes her babies but doesn’t have any older dolls, so I think she’ll enjoy this anyway.
I know the Our Generation line at Target is one option. Any others out there that you like better?
I think this a beautiful dress, though I’m still in the baby phase of shying away from white (who are we kidding, I shied away from it because of *my* eating habits prior to kids).
Quick vent: I am SO tired. I’ve consistently worked early into the mornings with colleagues but am SO jealous their kid-less lives allow them to sleep until 8am. They’ll get close to 6 hours of sleep and I struggle with 4–and even then the baby still wakes up once during that time.
