Oooh: I love the navy windowpane pattern shown here, but there are a zillion variations of this blazer — blue buffalo plaid, black and white windowpane, a gray plaid — they’re all lovely. I like the tiny bit of stretch (2% spandex, huzzah) and the general fitted shape. The pictured blazer is $35. Merona™ Plaid Tailored Blazer

I had this crazy urge to do embroidery when I was pregnant – hadn’t before, haven’t since – but I ordered a couple off of Amazon and found it oddly soothing to make slow, but visible progress on something for the baby while we were waiting for him to finish his stay in utero. The final product was framed and is hanging in his room, below the one my mom did for me while she was pregnant. So if you’re looking to take up a new hobby while bed bound …
Also, good vibes and best of luck.
So as a followup to my ‘any advice about maybe facing some preterm labor’ question, baby decided that I would end up taking off from work 2 months earlier than planned and hanging out in the hospital until baby’s grand appearance! If anyone wants to send good vibes, I’d really appreciate them.
My PSA here is just to say: when something feels weird or not right, ask questions and call. And go to your followup appointments!
