Finding stylish and flattering clothes remains a constant battle for new Moms and Moms to be. I know I had limited options when shopping around for maternity duds during my last pregnancy. I wish I had known about the new Molly Ades Maternity collection, which focuses on providing Moms with both flattering and comfortable clothing for their changing bodies during pregnancy, nursing, and the months following. From the aptly named Preggings, to adorably stylish dresses, this is one line an expecting mama should check out.

Like many nursing Moms, I used a breast pump to allow others (ie: my husband!) to contribute to the feeding experience by giving our babies a bottle. Although I have not nursed in over a year, I distinctly remember how challenging it could be at times to multi-task while pumping, as I tried my best to use that precious alone time to my advantage to catch up on reading or computer work. I never invested in an appropriate nursing bra, and as a result, always found this task to be a big point of tension as I struggled to secure and balance the pump.
I also never found these nursing bras to be very comfortable or flattering. I’ll be honest, when I was in the privacy of my own home (with no one else around) I would not worry too much about what I was (or wasn’t) wearing! But when I found myself out of the house for extended periods of time without my baby, I needed to make sure I wore something that would allow me to easily get into “pump mode”, but at the same time look somewhat presentable under my regular clothes.

I’d never heard of Kalencom until I received an email about the new fall line of diaper bags. Hmm, my old diaper bag was “well-loved,” so I decided to click on the link for a preview.
What creative and unique designs! Kalencom agreed to send me a sample to try out. When I opened the Laminated Buckle Bag in the O’Floral design, I was struck by the bold pattern and shiny fabric – this means waterproof!
A magnetic clip keeps the top flap closed and the laminated outer layer really does make clean-up a snap. It has very roomy interior with pockets. Perfect for my pouch purees, and two outside pockets for my wallet and phone. My bag also came with a matching Thinsulate insulated bottle bag and coordinating zippered pouch. The fold-out padded changing pad is a great size for my squirmy toddler. which is helpful when changing diapers on the go.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I am a little obsessed with Target. I’m there at least once a week for all of the things I “need” for around the home. Yes, I really did need those plum argyle tights last week.
All kidding aside, I am constantly impressed by the quality brands offered at Target including one of my favorite toy brands, B. Toys. I’m a HUGE fan of the whimsical and creative play items. Not only are these toys pleasing to look at, but I love that the packaging is made from recycled materials and is even reusable around the house. Double bonus!
I’ve actually used one of the boxes to store the many pairs of glasses I’ll most likely lose if I don’t keep them in a particular place. All inks on the packaging are soy-based and even the clear plastic is completely recyclable.

The age difference between my first and third son is six years, but that time span may as well be decades when it comes to technology. When pregnant with my first son, ultrasounds were available, but not necessarily standard. By the time my third son was born, 3D ultrasounds were just becoming the rage. Now they’re the standard.
Thanks to technology, we can learn more than the sex of our babies before they are born. We can run tests for almost anything and I have a friend who’s baby had heart surgery – in utero. (I know! It was unbelievable to go through that with her.) With many women being older as they have their first child, technology plays a key role in these high-risk pregnancies. Technology is definitely changing what we know while pregnant and is a useful, valuable tool to ensure the health and safety of moms and babies.
