Washable Wednesday: Straight Leg Trousers

Ladies, what are your favorite brands for washable trousers? I always used to like the Gap washable trousers, but online the reviews suggest that they’re really hit or miss of late. These NYDJ stretch trousers are very highly rated, but mostly by older women — but then that is their demographic (NYDJ does stand for “not your daughter’s jeans,” after all). They’re $120, and were available in three colors but are sold out in everything except the black, which I take as a good sign. They’re available in regular sizes 0-14, and petite sizes 00P-18P.

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?
Having just finished pumping, I started fantasizing about a date in my not-too-distant future: the day I will wean my baby and be done with bfing and pumping!!! for-evah. I had a good run (by the end will have logged 3.5+ years on the nursing clock), so I’m really looking forward to physical autonomy. And as I’m dreaming about tossing my nursing tanks, nursing bras, et cetera, I realized I didn’t know one thing–what do you do with your pump when you’re finished with it? I realize that it’s supposed to be a “single-use product,” but is this something I should donate? (We’re talking a six-year-old Medela Pump in Style.) I am guessing no official organizations would take it for that reason. My preference would be to give it to a friend as a backup but I might have no takers…
Thought everyone here would appreciate this (although there’s some slight cursing in the text):

Baby Chronic Overachiever has a newly diagnosed dairy allergy. Does anyone have experience with this? Did you decide to keep breastfeeding? Did your child eventually outgrow this allergy? Any dairy-free meal tips and/or recipes?
I bought a pair of NYDJ jeans in the Nordstrom sale last year – I really like them, they are comfy, stretchy (but don’t lose their stretch after a wear or two), hold me in a bit, etc. I just told myself that higher waists are back in now as justification. ;) I’m looking forward to fitting back into them.
Thanks for the responses yesterday!
Also, I kind of love the “way harsh, Tai” thumbs up thing going on this morning. ;)
Paging buffybot, FWIW, & any other wannabe C-moms! How’s it going with TTC?
Husband and I both have aggressive travel schedules coming up, plus in general long hours at work which is making TTC a bit of a challenge. My next ‘two week wait’ is scheduled to coincide with a trip to Europe. Not sure if that will help take my mind off it, because I’ll be so busy with meetings and travel, or if I’ll be freaking out about what jet lag and 18 hour work days will do to my fertility.
Still also grappling with the weird truth that after so many years or trying not to get pregnant, going off birth control did not immediately result in a baby. Intellectually, I knew that, but it still seems like such a foreign concept.
Can I just say uggghhhhh.
Our little one is going through some sort of sleep regression. Whether it is the semi-official 12-month Sleep Regression, something related to her recent acquisition of walking skills, or something else, I don’t know. But it means that I am on the third morning of super-early wake-up calls. This morning it was 4:30. Which means that at 9:00, I’ve now been awake for 4 1/2 hours already. I am not functioning well.
Praying to the powers that be that whatever this is ends soon. Mama can’t handle it. I’ve enjoyed the last three months of getting enough sleep and this is not fair.
Sigh.
Any suggestions for good toddler-oriented books about getting a new brother or sister? My 2 year old loves being read to, and I was hoping that the repetitive process of reading about it would help him understand what’s happening and what is going to happen when baby joins the family (in several months).
Anyone here had to deal with it? My son just went for his one month appt and we were told to take him for ultrasound because of clicking in one of his hips. I have heard horrible things about the braces and i am freaking out (prematurely) as a result….
