Oooh: I always love a good print (and, let’s face it, a nice blue dress), and this very functional nursing dress looks amazing. I love the high neckline (wrap-style nursing dresses were always a bit obscene on me without a camisole), and the price is great: it’s $38 (was $49), with sizes XS-XL still left.

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?
Morning routine comes up around here a lot & people seem to stress about getting their children dressed & fed in the morning before daycare. I confess, a lot of time I take my preschooler to school in her PJs with a yogurt. I am paying a lot of money for day care and she isn’t an early riser most of the time….so I figure they can help her get dressed. And they already have breakfast available until 8:30 at her center, so she’ll always get some fruit and cereal/waffle/etc with the yogurt. And it makes my life so much easier when I have an early morning at work & she decides to sleep in. I never thought it was so odd, but I don’t really hear this as an option. Throwing it out there if it helps! (And please tell me if I am off-base on this one….)
Another daycare question for everyone. I need to decide on childcare options for my 3 month old. We’re on a wait list for a daycare near home, but still unclear if we will get off the wait list anytime soon (despite putting baby on the wait list when 8 weeks pregnant, ugh).
Option 1, daycare by husband’s work. Husband drives 30-40 mins to work each way. I don’t love the idea of baby being in the car so long each day, but it’s 5 mins from husbands work so if any issues he can pick baby up quickly. Daycare by my work isn’t an option due to long wait lists.
Option 2, nanny which we’ll have to find. Issue with nanny is its more than double the cost and I like the idea of baby playing with other babies which doesn’t happen as much with a nanny.
Any thoughts/considerations between the two options? Does anyone else drive their baby to daycare that is 30-40 mins away?
Thanks!
This dress looks like something Ms Frizzle would wear in the book/episode where the Magic School Bus explores the ocean.
Upon closer inspection, I’m not sure what that print is, but it looked like a coral reef to me at first, and now I can’t un-see it.
My daughter’s daycare sent a letter to parents late last week saying that a kid in the infant program (there are 3 different classrooms) had chicken pox. We were out for two days last week, so I spoke to her teacher last night and the teacher told me that all the kids and teachers in two of the three infant classrooms have been sent home for two weeks as a precaution. This is my first experience with anything like this, so is that normal or overly cautious? I have no idea what I would do for backup care for two weeks!
Hi ladies,
I have a job searching while pregnant question. I am unemployed after completing my Master’s degree and have been job searching for 6 months. While I’ve had interviews during this time period, nothing has worked out to date. I am also 6 weeks pregnant (exciting but nerve-wracking!) . From a monetary and insurance standpoint, my husband and I are fine, but from a career standpoint, I haven’t worked full-time in over two years and I think this may be hurting my prospects. Recognizing the current situation, I see several options.
1) Keep applying until I get a full-time job. Recognize that I may be waiting a while.
2) Keep applying until I get a full-time job and try to pick up some temp/volunteer work in the meantime so that my skills aren’t getting rusty.
3) Keep applying until I am obviously showing (and out of the danger zone, maybe 3.5 months) and then try for a short-term consulting/temp position until baby is born.
4) Start looking for short-term positions now.
5) Some combination of all of the above.
As a note, short-term and contract work in common in my industry, so I don’t think that it would be seen as a negative. Pregnancy-wise, I am exhausted, but otherwise feel okay. I recognize that could change though!
Thoughts?
