This surplice top has been around in various incarnations for several years now — Nordstrom has some great colors for it right now, including this lovely black graphic print. This looks like the rare top that isn’t a “nursing” top, per se, but is great for both pumping and nursing (depending on your pumping style, of course). It’s $49 at Nordstrom, available in sizes XS-XL. Vince Camuto Faux Wrap Top

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?
My boyfriend’s son is starting pre-k in about a month. I would love to get him a “yay you’re starting pre-k!” gift, but I doubt that’s appropriate. Any thoughts/ideas?
Anyone with 2 kids who put both kids in daycare (as opposed to using a nanny for the younger child?). I have two boys, ages 1 and 3. My older one is in daycare and loves it. There is an opening in the same daycare for my 1-year old.
Currently, my mom (who is absolutely amazing in every way) watches my 1 year old full-time. However, she is going to leave for home soon (she lives abroad). Do I put my 1 year old in daycare along with his older brother, or should I get a nanny for the 1-year old? My preference is daycare for both because I feel that my older one has benefitted immensely from daycare and he’s been going since he was 6 months old. But, I am worried about the logistics of it all. Is it just too hard to schlep two young kids out the door every day?
Other considerations are: two in daycare is WAY cheaper than a nanny + daycare, and if we went the nanny route, we have potentially found someone who would be really great with my 1-year old (and will also pick up the older one from daycare).
I’d greatly appreciate any feedback.
Can anyone provide insight on the 1st semester screening (the one that tests for Down Syndrome, etc.). I had to push for the ultrasound at my doctor and they are making it pretty inconvenient (long appt. with a specialist), and I’m not sure if it’s worth the fight. FWIW we just want the information so we can be prepared. We wouldn’t terminate based on it (no judgment to anyone who feels differently).
AnonAtty – I saw your post on the birth stories. Would love to connect with a fellow “heart mom” (which is not what HM stands for… go figure!). Please feel free to email me at [email protected].
Cat – I’m having issues with this page on my phone. I can open the homepage, but none of the links (post title, “read more,” or comments) work to get to the actual post. I can only see the full posts and comments thru my feed reader. This happened yesterday, too.
Reposting from yesterday…
Has anyone in the Capitol Hill area in DC had success getting on the Moms on the Hill listserv? Any tips? I unfortunately don’t know any one to recommend me (one of the reasons I want to join is none of my friends in the area have kids), and my e-mail requests to join have not really worked.
Thanks in advance!
