Maternity Monday: Print Maternity/Nursing Sundress

The warmer weather makes me think of barbecues, bonfires, and picnics. If you have a little one on the way, this Print Maternity/Nursing Sundress from Ingrid & Isabel would be perfect for your next outdoor get-together.
This modern take on a gingham sundress features a smocked panel at the back, crisp and cool cotton, and snap shoulder straps that make nursing or pumping a breeze.
For a casual look, I’d pair it with a pair of espadrilles and a denim jacket. It’s also machine washable — you have other things to think about besides hand-washing or going to the cleaners with a baby on the way.
This maternity dress is available at Nordstrom for $118 and comes in XS–XL.

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?
we bought a house recently and i need to buy patio furniture soon so we can have it enjoy our northeaster summer. any favorites (or home decor blogs for inspiration)? I want something very practical (i.e., I don’t have to put cushions away every time it rains).
How would you handle this? My son turns 2 at the end of this month. He pours water in little toy cups out of bath and the more we say no the more he does it. Then we just have to remove him from the bath when he doesn’t listen. Is there anything else I should be doing here?
Hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day! Mine was a little bit of a cluster but at least I had a nice brunch on a restaurant patio, which is a real treat after the last year.
My house is an absolute mess. Two kids under 6, two busy working parents, I get that I have some leeway — but I’m beyond deficient when it comes to tidying/cleaning. I’m completely ashamed and frankly don’t know where to start, and I actively avoid having people over because I’m embarrassed. I have so many clothes piled up in each bedroom (probably stuff I should get rid of anyway because kids have outgrown), there’s tons of paper and kids artwork all over the place, toys just strewn about, stuff piled on the kitchen counter (not dishes – we actually do those, and we’re completely on top of laundry too! – but just stuff where I don’t know where things go). I’m exhausted at all times and know I need to do better but I just cannot make myself clean up. And don’t get me started on our basement!
Any tips or commiseration? I know I just need to start, and probably with my own stuff first, but also I get the sense that I’m going to have zero help from my husband who has more clothes, books, and general crap than he knows what to do with and is largely the reason our room is packed with stuff.
For those that use melatonin for your kids to get to sleep easier at night, what brand do you use and where do you get it? This would be for a 5 year old.
Any recs for a shampoo for a 1 year old who seems to have a sensitive scalp? He has been itching at the back of his head frequently and I think the shampoo we use is drying it out.
My Mother’s Day was very meh. I told my DH exactly what I wanted — a dessert from our one nice bakery in town — and he failed to deliver. Said he called Friday and they were no longer taking Mother’s Day orders. Yeah, that should not be a surprise, dude. Plan ahead a little more. The kids were crabby, DH was crabby (why?) and the weather was crummy so we didn’t get out and do anything other than visiting my MIL for a few hours. My DH is good at many things, but spoiling me is not one of them. And I never used to care, but now that we have bigger kids and no longer have the “overwhelm” excuse … well, I kind of care? IDK, I truly dislike this holiday. Everyone ends up feeling bad about something. At least I had nice phone chats with my sister and mom.
I am looking for an oversized living room chair that can fit me and a couple of small kiddos, isn’t too much of an eyesore, and holds up well (so probably not white.) Any ideas where I can find such a thing?
Any tips on telling my supervisor I’m expecting over the phone/zoom? I’ve done this twice before, but not remotely and not with this manager. For a variety of reasons, it will probably not be well-received due to staffing issues.
Anyone have a script? I’m kind of dreading it, but also wanting to get it off my chest. Due in early Oct.
I just want to put my head down and cry today: Saturday evening, I realized that my daughter (7yo) had a raised area near a tick-bite. It was in her hair earlier in the week, and I thought I got the tick in time, but the rash was there and she wasn’t feeling great on Saturday evening. We live in northern New England, so tick borne illnesses are a known thing. My mom assured me that we could wait until morning, and so I spent the night with my daughter in my bed. I didn’t sleep that night because I was/am worried about her. Sunday morning, my kids so sweetly tried to bring me breakfast in bed (toast). We got up, I made breakfast for them, I reserved our spot online for urgent care. We spent several hours at urgent care. My daughter is presumed to have a tick borne illness and is on antibiotics for two weeks. We got home and I kinda napped while snuggled with my daughter.
Sunday afternoon, my son (10yo) said that his thumb hurt. He had a toy puncture between his nail and nailbed on Saturday and was developing an infection. I spent time with him caring for his thumb, and he was unable to do most things for himself on Sunday because it was on his dominant thumb. I had two elementary school kids crying and needing my time and love at the exact same time, and I haven’t had that kind of tug on me since they were little. I’m exhausted and tired today, and kinda snappish. Ugh.
