Maternity Monday: Ribbed Midi Maternity Dress

I like the ribbed pattern on this dress — it’s a little unexpected and it looks really cool. The elbow-length sleeves are flattering, and I think this is a nice sweater dress to wear to work. Note that Topshop has very similar options in non-maternity sweaters as well, including this mixed rib funnel neck swwater, which I like so much that I may end up recommending it on Corporette as well. The pictured dress is machine washable and available in limited sizes. It’s $75 at Nordstrom. Ribbed Midi Maternity Dress

- 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’m thinking of switching to just using a regular backpack as a diaper bag. Any backpack recs that would work well for this and are reasonably cute? Thanks!
My daughter just popped her third (diagnosed) ear infection of this season – we usually top out at 4 ear infection diagnoses in a year, so we’ve never gotten to the threshold of having the “ear tube” talk. I suspect that she has actually had more that didn’t get treated. She’s almost 3, and she was supposed to outgrow this by now….I am going to talk with our pediatrician about it, but would love some talking points/data points/options. I hate that she’s on antibiotics so much.
Anyone have any tips on dealing with Braxton Hicks at work?
I need to have an HSG and I’m kind of freaking out about it. I never had an IUD so I haven’t dealt with anything like it before. I have had a few colonoscopies under conscious sedation and I would really like to push for that option but I don’t know if a doctor would do it that way. It seems like women undergo so many very painful procedures with little to no pain management but men have the option of being knocked out for most of their procedures. Why is that?
My tall 3-year-old sized out of his convertible car seat. I’m looking for a 5-point harness that will transition into a booster. Any suggestions or models to avoid? Thanks!
For holiday cards this year, I uploaded a great summer photo of toddler for the main photo, put in a small family photo in that was taken 8 months ago, and had them addressed and mailed directly by the company making the cards. I feel so accomplished that is checked off my list. Maybe next year we will get professional photos, but it just didn’t work out this year.
Man, I love this dress so much. I wish it had been around when I was pregnant!
Not a mom, but an auntie seeking holiday gift advice from moms. DH & I had an idea to get magazine subscriptions for our nieces & nephews, who range from 6-16 years old. I have good ideas for the older kids, who have specialized interests and are ready for regular magazines (I was going to say “adult magazines” but I don’t mean p0rn!). I’m planning on getting the youngest girls Kazoo, and would love to hear feedback on it from anyone who has seen it.
I’m a little stumped for two of the kids, and am looking for suggestions:
– 12yo niece, calls herself a fashionista. Any tween/teen magazines that don’t promote eating disorders and feeling like you aren’t pretty enough?
– 6yo nephew, just starting to read. What are good little kid early reader magazines?
TIA!
