Those nursing dresses look comfortable but I would FREEZE... I need pants in winter. Texas winters are usually like 50-70 degrees. So I figured the dress with a cardigan or robe will be perfect. However it has been unusually cold so we shall see. I just know that last time I was half naked for the first few weeks as I was figuring out breastfeeding/pumping and recovering from the c section.

Oh so I put on one of the Jessica Simpson nursing camis today. It actually fits me right now so I hope I didn't buy it too big!
It's super comfy.

Red lights are supposed to not interrupt the circadian rhythms, so I just replaced the bulb in my lamp on my bedside table with a pink bulb. It is nice and soft for MOTN but still provides enough light!

Experienced moms?? with dd I used a soft nightlight next to my bed that had a switch so I could turn it off and on as needed. It was just a cheap nothing fancy brand i grabbed from Walmart or target. It worked out great and plan on using it again!

sweetsurprise hubs put a dimmer switch on my regular lamp. Also there’s a nightlight on my spectra pump, I use that one when L is making questionable noises.

Yuck I tried on my nursing bras. Remembering how much I hate them. Womp womp. Once I am ready to go back to work, I'll just wear regular bras and ruin them by pulling the cup down to nurse. Or at least that's what I did last time.

I’m such a debbie downer right now. I wanted to enjoy my last pregnancy. I want to be lounging on the couch, eating ice cream, watching a good movie. Instead I’ve got restless legs, I can’t poop, I’m queasy and the hormones are out of control (WTH am i going to do post birth when they’re even worse??) I’m so done. In this moment I most certainly look forward to never being pregnant again.

ajetter you’re not alone. This might be our last baby too and I’m TRYING to enjoy it but I’m finding it very very hard to enjoy any part of it. I just want it to be over so bad 😩

Bumping this because Kohl’s is having a sale right now where a lot of there nursing stuff is buy one get one half off and it stacks with a $10 off 30 coupon plus a percentage off coupon.
I’m looking at getting two playtex nursing bras for around $50 and they have great reviews.

Here to report that all of the nursing bras, tanks, tops I posted work great! I like this stuff much better than what I got last time around. The tanks are especially great. I don’t feel like I need to wear a bra w them and I definitely did with the built in bra H&M ones. These almost feel like a sports bra and they have a pad inside they can be removed/adjusted. Kind of like a bathing suit. 👍👍

I was doing laundry today and was washing my regular bras so I put on a nursing bra and it was actually ok. Definitely Panache is the brand, I want to say the style is called Sophie.
