Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Pullover Nursing Hoodie

I spent most of the holidays relaxing at home and would have worn this cute hoodie on repeat.
This relaxed-fit nursing hoodie has a drawstring hood, kangaroo pocket, and easy zippered side access for nursing or pumping. Since it isn’t obviously a nursing top, you can wear this long after your pump goes into storage. Just add your favorite leggings and sneakers for a sporty look.
Pietro Brunelli’s Pullover Nursing Hoodie is $150 at Macy’s (but be on the lookout for sales). It comes in sizes XS–L. It’s available in heather gray and “particulier” (a cool beige).

I’m 37. Last year my OB told me based on some symptoms I’d been having I might be in early perimenopause, but she assured me I would have periods for another 10-15 years. Well…my period has started getting super irregular the last few months and I’m currently on week 7 of no period. I’m definitely 1000% not pregnant. Does this mean I’m close to actual menopause?? We were 99% sure our family is complete, and obviously at my age we knew we didn’t have forever to change our minds, but the idea of my periods stopping before I turn 40 is terrifying to me!
We’re going to be trying out overnight potty training in the next 6 weeks or so. Our 3.5 year old wears pull ups at night, but 95% of the time they’re bone dry in the morning. He’s been daytime potty trained for a year, and we haven’t had a daytime accident in 5+ months. I’ve heard the tip that you should make the kids bed with multiple lawyers of sheet+mattress pad so if there is an accident you don’t have to get out new sheets at night, you just pull off the wet ones and move on. So, what are you recommendations for mattress pads in this scenario? We are in the toddler bed/converted crib still, so looking for recs that fit that sized mattress.
Ladies, I don’t know who needs to hear this but for those of you in the thick of it with young kids…IT GETS BETTER. my kids are 4.5, 6.5 and 9. We just had a 4 day ski trip where we ALL SKIED. Nobody cried. There was a bit of exhaustion and less than ideal behavior at times but they were really great. We skied for 4 days! Everyone carried their own equipment* and as a family we all skied as much as we wanted to. I didn’t have to carry anyone, change peed in clothes, bring a diaper bag, stroller, or ski with a kid between my knees or on a leash.
My older two are now officially better skiers than I am (this doesn’t say too much, they are also far more athletic than me), and my youngest is off the bunny hill and can do chair lifts and get down real trails herself! She even skied carefully around adults that were learning and fell down on the mountain and gave them some encouragement (“I just learned too! It gets easy fast!”).
4 years ago I had 3 5&under. Every day was a challenge. I HAVE NOT HAD TO WIPE ANOTHER HUMAN’S BUTT RECENTLY. Clearly it’s time to get a puppy ;).
* until they got tired. And to be fair, I was tired too!
I feel so silly asking this, but if I get my infant daughter a passport, does anyone know if it’s still good for 10 years even though she won’t look anything like her current photo?
Any good yoga videos to do with kids that aren’t cosmic kids? I’d like to do it (and enjoy it) too and Cosmic Kids tends to not be my favorite. We did a yoga with adrienne video last night and she found it kinda boring. But she does like to do yoga with me, so I’d love something somewhere in the middle? Any experience here?
What accessories do you all recommend for kids once they’re trained enough to use the toilet but are still pretty small? We have a couple different seat inserts/step stool combos but don’t love any of them. Also, what do you do for public restrooms when you’re out and about?
How often do you travel with your spouse without kids? Kiddo is 7 and we’ve never had a trip away, just the two of us. We don’t have any local family and it would be monumental to pull off, logistically. But over break I met a woman who takes 2-3 week-long trips a year with just her and her husband, while her mom tends to her three small children. I know I have a lot of things to be thankful for, but this is really eating at me because it sounds so luxurious. I’m counting down the years until sleepaway camp.
im lucky in that my office is closed from christmas through new years, but why oh why did my children have to choose last night to be up from 1:30-3am when today is my first day back at the office.
Update on taking my baby to the fancy restaurant – it was a disaster! But we learned a few things and it’s all good. The hotel was doing construction and we needed to take the stairs which meant I couldn’t go with the stroller as planned. Baby did not enjoy switching from stroller to carrier and was having a full meltdown by the time we got to the restaurant. It was also fancier and stuffier than I remembered. So we left my parents there and went back with baby and ordered room service. We did have a successful lunch with baby later in the week, and got away twice for drinks at the bar while my parents watched the baby in the evening. It was a great trip and baby travelled like a champ but she’s crankier at night so we’ll be skipping the fancy dinners for now :)
Happy new year, all! This weekend DH established that he is really one and done. I desperately want another but am moving forward with acceptance. There have been some good convos about only children here in the past, so I will sort through those. But it is bringing up a lot of feelings of disappointment with DH as a father and how I wish he was more invested in parenting our almost three-year old throughout this journey. His main reasons for not wanting another are time to focus on work and hobbies (mainly, going to the gym), and he doesn’t want to compromise those things even for another couple of years. There’s definitely a mismatch in our feelings towards parenting and enjoyment of the process (and also in our time commitments), which is fine, but seems like we have some work ahead.
My 9-year-old wants to learn to cook as his New Year’s resolution–very cute! Years ago, a friend used to order some sort of meal service (HelloFresh or something like that) for her then 11 year old/now teenage son to use to prepare one meal a week for the family. They used oven-based meals so the kid didn’t need to use the stovetop. I would love any recommendations for oven-based meal kit recipes for kid palates. TIA!
Is there some kind of sticker/window cling that would work on a dry-erase calendar? We just got a family calendar mostly for DH and me, but I would like to be able to show our 2yo which days are swimming days/grandma days, etc. Side note that our calendar is very small so the stickers should be small too
Can’t remember if I’ve asked this before… any thoughts or experience on design/build vs architect & GC for an addition? I feel like for every person I know who is passionately pro- one option there are an equal number of people who feel the same way about the other option.
Folks who work from home, how do you decide when to actually take a sick day versus working from the couch? I’ve got a pretty bad cold and would not go into the office if I was full time in-person, but since I’m home I could work on the couch with a blanket. I’m newly in a job that has formal sick days (used to be at a law firm where every sick day was really working from home).
And on a positive note, ask your kid their New Years resolution. My son’s – eat more salmon, do more creative Lego projects, make his own Lego speed build video for his bestie, and have more cuddles with mummy.
