ASOS has a TON of maternity stuff on sale, including this simple, chic blouse. I like that it’s machine washable, modest (I hate how far too many maternity tops have too low of a neckline!) and it looks wearable in almost every season of the year. It was $60.64, but is now marked to $30.32 — with free shipping both ways. Mamalicious V-Neck Mono Print Blouse

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
My husband and I are expecting baby no 2 and the doctor has indicated, for a few reasons beyond our control, that we should be prepared for the baby to come early (or for me to be in the hospital). Based on our family situation, if we are to have a sudden hospitalization (birth or otherwise – likely that there could be a 48 hour – two week hospitalization followed by coming home with a baby), we have assembled a “team” of people who can come and stay with our son (18 months) and who would basically rotate every other day or so. Probably 50% of these people have never stayed with my son before or in our house before – but they are extended family that we trust completely who have volunteered to rise to the occasion. Here are my questions:
1. What information (beyond the obvious basics) should I put in the “manual” we are keeping for possible sitters?
2. What would be a good “gift” for such sitters? They don’t want to be compensated, but obviously we’d like to do something for them.
3. Has anyone done something like this before and have advice for leaving a toddler with trustworthy strangers before coming home with a baby? “Prepared” is probably too strong of a word…
A few ladies here have asked about pregnancy boards that aren’t dumb (OK, my words) lately – I just wanted to note that BabyCenter does have a Due in 2015, over 35 community set up that seems to be pretty mature. I have only browsed a little, but there was a lot of poking fun at the silliness of the more general boards, and a lot less silly questions/baby-daddy drama/etc.
(I’m not quite 35, but I will be, well, really soon.)
Wow – I haven’t ordered from ASOS maternity before but they’ve got some pretty sweet stuff in the sale section and this free shipping both ways thing has me filling my cart! Any comments on fit compared to GAP or Old Navy maternity?
Can anyone help me out with an example out-of-office message they have used for maternity leave? I’m leaving soon and will be out until June (probably…). Have you just put up an out-of-office automatic reply saying something like, “I am out of the office on maternity leave and expect to return in [Month].”? Thoughts?
This blouse is 100% Viscose – what is Viscose?
There was a “Hints for Heloise” recently where a lady wrote in mad that what she thought was 100% cotton was actually 100% algodon – and Heloise patiently explained that “algodon” means “cotton” in Spanish.
I hope this is not that kind of situation – I’m thinking of nylon/polyester – is that what Viscose is?
Thanks! That made the most sense to me – nursing is just so much easier than hauling pump and bottles and such around.
Pumping Threadjack: With the holidays coming, is there any reason I should keep pumping/offering a bottle while I’m on vacation? Thus far my almost-4-month-old hasn’t had problems switching back and forth between bottle and bre@st. Am I on the right track to just nurse over the holidays?
