My Favorite Nursing Tank (Hint: It’s Strapless!)

I was dubious at first about this nursing tank — it’s, like, strapless? I didn’t get it — until I purchased it — and now, like many of you noted in our last discussion on the best pumping clothes, it’s one of my favorites.
The tank top hooks to the top of your nursing bra so it comes down with the bra, while keeping your belly and back covered; I also like that I don’t have to deal with another set of straps on top of my bra straps, or a shelf bra within the tank. It can be worn with any nursing bra, and really is very comfortable.
It comes in a ton of varieties — zillions of colors (who knew?) in sizes XS-XXXL, versions with lace at the bottom (that’s a no for me, but you do you), and if you want a bit of support, a shapewear version. (I actually have the shapewear version — it takes a bit of shimmying into the first few times, but it probably is my favorite among my nursing tanks.)
It’s priced $17.99-$35 at Amazon. Nursing Tank By Undercover Mama

I just want to put a sign on my office door: “I used up all my patience on my toddlers today — there is none left for you.” Digging deep for regular human behavior.
Feeling guilty and uninspired about my little guy’s first birthday. His birthday falls in the midst of Easter, and my in-laws are coming into town that weekend so we have to do any sort of party Easter weekend. We don’t have any friends with kids (sad, I know), so we were just going to do his birthday on Easter sunday with immediate family. It will be 8 adults and 3 kids total. Any ideas to make it special for him? I was going to get a fun cake and a little smash cake, but right now it feels like it will just be easter with a cake. For his actual birthday, I was going to make him a little homemade cake and maybe do balloons in his crib in the morning. Any other thoughts?
Does anyone have experience with the diagnosis of a blighted ovum/anembryonic pregnancy? My OB told me she suspects that is what I have and I’m not sure what to do at this point.
Can we talk maternity tights/hose? I need something that will either tuck under my belly, or come up high enough that it won’t create a line that cuts my belly in half as it slips down during the day. I’m about 5 1/2 months pregnant with still a lot of growing to do. Any and all suggestions welcome!
I’m weaning my daughter at 6 months (in two weeks– HOLY CRAP!). She currently nurses once a day, in the morning. What do I need to be doing over the next couple of weeks to make this go as smoothly as possible?
And did y’all have crazy hormonal mood swings afterwards? How bad was it? Am I going to be sobbing at my desk during the last few weeks of tax season?
I’m going on a short trip without my daughter in mid/late-April, and I was hoping to be over any sort of post-weaning craziness at that point. Doable?
I am having such a hard time focusing. I need to get this work done today and I just can’t think, and all I want to do is go home and go back to bed.
Just looking for advice and to commiserate a bit. I have been back to work at my mid size law firm for a month after a 12 week maternity leave with my first. It’s getting easier in some ways, but I am still generally hating not being with my little one, but staying home is not an option. With daycare drop off and pickup and the awful weather and subsequent train delays we have been having in MA, I get to work later than I used to, leave earlier than I used to and my kid is still one of the first ones there in the morning and last ones picked up at night. Hours are 7-6:30 and my husband and I alternate drop off and pick ups, but still. Part of the problem is that we live, and daycare is located in the burbs, and take the train to work in Boston, so it makes it that much harder to get to and form. And as I said the weather has made this transition so much harder than it would have been otherwise because we have had blizzards and delays and closings and cancelled trains, etc. As much as I feel like my hours are not what they should be at work, I equally feel like that is such a long period of time to essentially have others raising my very young infant for me. Last week a train delay put us 25 minutes late for pickup and it destroyed me. The late rate is $3/minute, but I didn’t really care about that, just that I felt like the worst parent ever because I couldn’t get there on time. We will have my in laws on back up duty from now on, but we honestly don’t trust them to actually fasten little one in his car seat correctly, but at least they can pick him up and sit in the car with him until one of us gets there.
I know these are not new issues and I am far from the first to be going through them, so I’m just looking for other examples and perspective I guess. For those in daycare, what are the hours at your centers? How long did it take you to settle into a good routine/feel better about being back at work?
Ok here’s something GOOD! One of my good friends just asked me if anyone had “claimed” throwing me a shower yet. Which is funny, because while I have a few good friends, I’m the financially solvent one in my family and no one in my family could probably afford to do this, and I had kind of given up on the idea of even having one (I skipped a wedding shower). I said no, of course, and she is SUPER excited to set it up for me!! She and I have done showers and other things for others in our group of friends together (she and I are the “planners” in our group / also the financially solvent ones) and she and I think EXACTLY alike in all things party. Heck, in almost all things everything – politics, religion, parenting…yes, it is a little creepy.
I’m really excited :) I’m very not used to anyone volunteering to help me out! YAY!
