Maternity fashion tips

[Geofizz]

So, if the only bra that's clean and still "fits" in a center-snap nursing bra whose snaps are getting weak, DON'T WEAR IT TO LECTURE. After a large gesture, you may find yourself hanging out with two popped snaps and your boobs wagging in front of a class of 20 year olds.

Just thought I'd share that tip....

OMG! I'd be mortified. :blush

:laugh:

OMG! Wendy!!! Could you fix it!?!? OMG!!!

:hug

[IncaMama]

OMG! wait! did your boobs come out of your SHIRT too???
i have banned all center-snap bras from my wardrobe. they don't hold these grrls in. LOL

Wendy, it sounds like your students are getting an eyeful this semester! :LOL

Oh the things they don't warn you about when you're still in grad school...

[Geofizz]

No, but I'm wearing a relatively thin shirt. Thankfully, it's not white.

HAHHAHAHA thanks for sharing your misery... advice noted!!

I think my "to buy before baby gets here" list just grew by one item! :D

EEEK!!! I teach 2 classes of 20 year olds - I'm sure glad that didn't happen during the lecture on human sexual response the other day, :LOL

BTW, Wendy, I'm in San Diego at a conference, but Dave's sent you a big box of maternity stuff, priority mail. Sorry I was so slow with it. Our dog knocked a bunch of the stuff I had set aside on the floor and drooled on it, so I had to wash it. Then, when I had all the clean stuff packed in a box and ready to send, he chewed up the box. The new box is finally on its way to you. No bras in there though, sorry...

[Geofizz]

Hmmm, my lecture was on symmetry....

LOL, Amara. Thanks so much for the box. I'll be looking forward to it. You're awsome.

...adding nursing bras to the "get before baby comes" list.

[wawoof]

You're welcome :)

If you're looking for recommendations, I have Bravado nursing bras, and they're great for pregnancy because they're an over-the-head, stretchy design. I got mine on the TP.

[Geofizz]

Thanks for the recommendation. For now, I'm doing the laundry :) I think I'm going to head back to birthandbaby.com because they had such great customer service and good info.

I got the box. Thank you sooooooo much! Wow, awsome.

I see you want a sleep sack for ds2. I've got a sewing machine and a pattern... Can I make you one? Flannel? Cotton? Fleece? Short-sleeved? Long-sleeved?

[wawoof]

Great! I'm so glad you got the clothes and they'll work for you.

I'd totally appreciate you making a sleep sack for the baby, thanks! Long sleeve and warm would be perfect, perhaps flannel or fleece. It's cool at night, and I don't want DS to be cold.

Alsooo, does Karen have any wool longies she's outgrown? I need to find some for Ethan for overnight. I think his refusal to sleep under covers, and consequently getting cold, is contributing to him (and me) not sleeping very well...

Thanks :)

Karen sleeps in flannel for that reason.

I've got 2 pair of longies. Both were made before I discovered that I was purling wrong, so the workmanship is, well, appropriate for hand-me-downs. :LOL

One pair are kinda short -- how tall is Ethan now? They were a little on the short side in the spring when Karen was ~35". The other pair should be fine. I'll send 'em off. I'll just want them back before DS is 2...

[DesireeH]

Oh no! I would die!

[wawoof]

The other pair should be fine. I'll send 'em off. I'll just want them back before DS is 2...

Great, thanks! Ethan is about 36", I think. And of course I'm happy to return them to you later :)
