Happy Green Monday! It’s another big day to save, as the Macy’s website so cheerfully puts it, and they’re having a pretty good web deal for them: take an extra 25% off, plus free shipping at $50 with code FRIEND. For today’s maternity pick, I’m liking this navy top with lace details — it seems like the perfect thing to wear to holiday or New Year parties whether they’re casual or a bit fancy — and you can probably get a few wears to the office as well, with a blazer or sweater. It was $30, but it’s marked down to $20 today — and available in sizes S-XL (also in pink, oat stripe and navy stripe). Motherhood Maternity Flutter Sleeve Ruched Lace Trim Top

- 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…

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I finally got my free pump from insurance, so I have 2 Medelas. I plan to keep one at home and one at work, but I’m wondering if I’m really sparing myself much schlepping, since I’ll still have pump parts/milk/cooler to take back and forth.
Anyone else have a work pump and a home pump? Any tips on transporting the accessories & milk back and forth? Do you bring the work pump home on weekends or just leave it in your office permanently?
Thanks!
Hoping someone can help with advice. I have a 6 month old and just found out I’m pregnant again (yikes). I’m not telling work until we pass the 12 week mark but I’m already worried about how it is going to go over when I say that I have to take another maternity leave when I just barely got back from the last one. Should I say it was an “oops” baby to smooth things over a little? Should I just not even care what their reaction might be and just be matter of fact about it? I understand my rights but even still, office politics is real and needs to be taken into account. I’m at a smaller office (15 attorneys) and we usually have at least one person out on maternity leave a year – I’m just feeling like I’m pushing it a little in terms of timing and don’t want this to be held against me down the line. Also if anyone else has kids spaced about a year apart, please tell me it will be ok and that I will survive this!
I need a relatively inexpensive gift idea for my best friends kids – 5 and 3 years old. Mom is pregnant with #3, and something they can do together or a joint gift would be ideal. TIA!
You guys, I am beginning to suspect that Baby is trying to murder me with a deadly combination of daycare germs and chronic sleep deprivation. Blarg.
Thanks in part to everyone’s advice on my situation the past several weeks, I’m giving notice at my current job for a perfect-seeming in-house attorney position. I’m so happy and nervous and sad (I love my current coworkers) all at once. But I can’t believe I’m going to get to spend so much more quality time with my sons.
