Maternity Monday: The Noelle Jumpsuit

Now that the holidays are in the rearview mirror, I’d like to skip over the speed bump of winter and head straight into spring. Since that is impossible, I’ll try to evoke spring with my wardrobe.
I was excited to see Hatch — one of my favorite maternity brands — launched their pre-spring collection. One of my go-to items while I was pregnant with my son was a stretchy jumpsuit. So, I was drawn to Hatch’s Noelle Jumpsuit — especially the dark floral pattern that works for both winter and early spring. It also comes with a nursing-friendly button front so you can wear it long after your pregnancy.
This looks comfy enough to wear while working from home but could also transition back to a business casual setting with a polished cardigan or suit jacket.
The jumpsuit is $278 and comes in sizes 0–3 (which correlates to pre-pregnancy sizes 0–12). The Noelle Jumpsuit

Maybe too late for today, but twice I met moms recently from NYC at the playground who were on paper dressed similarly to me – joggers, sweater. But they looked so much better. What’s the secret? Is it just how well their clothes fit?
Anyone have the Wit & Wisdom Absolution jeans? Are they worth it? Lots of styles on sale at Nordstrom now, and my little postpartum belly is not looking great in my jeans.
19 month old is having tantrums with increasing frequency and intensity and it’s starting to worry me. Over the last week, we are now at the point of at least one major meltdown a day – with full blown screaming, crying, sometimes for 20-30 minutes with various escalating and de-escalating during that period. Often seems to happen around lunch time and us not getting things exactly right (the wrong parent poured her milk, or she doesn’t want to sit in her chair, etc), but then she can’t recover from it. She is not really speaking yet (maybe says 50ish words but not enough to get her point across), and seems incredibly frustrated.
Her older sibling never had tantrums with such frequency or intensity but she was also speaking in sentences at this age so I think she benefited from being able to express herself. This is really starting to wear us all down and I’m just not sure at what point should I bring this up with her pediatrician, or is it kind of like “duh, of course she’s having daily tantrums, she’s a toddler”, and we just need to get better at managing it?
I know this is a question for my doctor, but posting here while I’m thinking of it. I have a callous at the bottom of my foot and it’s gotten to the point where its painful. What are the best treatments?
Fellow allergy-sufferers – my primary care doc recommended that either Reactine, Claritin, or Benadryl are safe during pregnancy – TTC or any trimester. I take Claritin/Reactine everyday, even during the winter, and had quite a disastrous experience (in December) when tying to discontinue as a test (flare-up of asthma, trouble sleeping due to coughing and congestion, constant sneezing/sniffling through the workday, general bad mood due to the above). My specialist fertility doc is very “really avoid any medications during first trimester.” If I don’t take Claritin then I need to take daily nose spray and asthma inhaler, which don’t treat my full symptoms as well (eg. itchy eyes and skin) and have impactful side effects for me – migraines and major voice changes, respectively. I’m about to start an IVF cycle and would like to cut through the inconsistent advice I’m receiving on whether I can just continue the Claritin. It seems like fertility doc is trying to avoid liability more than provide useful guidance on my specific case- just parroting generalities like “avoid medications during first trimester.” Where to from here in terms of getting specific answers from him? Any experience with antihistamines and TTC/pregnancy?
this article just ugh so depressing. it also makes me angry because what else are we supposed to do to survive. it’s freezing, there’s nothing else to do, and work is busier than ever.

i know my kids have gone from watching barely any TV to 1-2 hours on weekdays and 3-4 on weekends.
Best source for mother-daughter matching pajamas for a 2T child? Not for myself, for a gift. The adult wears a size small. Don’t want to spend a fortune so any budget-conscious choices would be great.
