Lands End swim minis are awesome, and I always pair it with a halterish type top and just pop a boob out when I need to. <br /><br />I'm sorry about the year of the sick, but I feel like most daycare families have to deal with it as crappy as it is.

My baby is now 3 though, so I have no excuse other than no time (with 2 others and a fulltime job). I'm the yuckiest I've ever been in my 43 years. I grew up on the beach wearing tiny bikinis and always said to myself "I will never wear those "mom" swimsuits, never!" Yeah. Right. <br /><br />I agree with the Lands End suggestion. They have one-pieces (even short torsos!) that have spanx stuff in the midsection. That helps. I got black. Plain. And they have the skirt bottoms that look kind of cute. I've had the Athleta suit separates but just don't find that they are the quality I like and they don't seem to have enough boobage support. <br /><br />Good luck. It's just such a sucky thing to deal with.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642067154153540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-74890691114491564412012-03-18T09:31:05.719-04:002012-03-18T09:31:05.719-04:00I think that you would look totally cool in a surf...I think that you would look totally cool in a surfer look with boy shorts too.

I'm not even trying right now because it's too depressing...! <br /><br />I hope you figure things out for the summer so you don't have to go it completely alone. May Della be healthy very soon so you can get more restful night sleep.What IF?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17296831848220411473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-56580264504310933052012-03-12T17:13:05.779-04:002012-03-12T17:13:05.779-04:00I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who has...I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who has a child who has been constantly sick this year. She doesn't seem to go more than week without catching something new but thankfully it hasn't bothered her too much even though I am over it.<br /><br />As for the swimsuit, I pretty much only buy from Land's End or Eddie Bauer and only the ones with some sort of miracle spanx in it! But they are honestly so well made I have worn them for 3 years with constant summer swimming so they are worth the price.Carmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791963221400127496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-47702262959715927902012-03-12T16:27:42.771-04:002012-03-12T16:27:42.771-04:00Costco actually has decent (modest) speedo suits t...Costco actually has decent (modest) speedo suits that aren't too horrible.Jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480192191711301637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-84422810332155876202012-03-12T14:37:03.000-04:002012-03-12T14:37:03.000-04:00one word about suits: swimdress.

It was awful, just awful. Ear infection after ear infection; all snot and Not Sleeping; all the time. We bought a humidifier. I remember Will being sure it was going to spew germs, but I got a boiling water kind (dangerous) with some kind of UV germ killing light bulb. I think it helped. <br /><br />You are a much stronger person than me if you can get yourself out in public (or anywhere) in a swim suit. I haven't owned one since, Oh-I-don-know, 1997? And, I love pilates; love it only second to rowing as exercise goes -- so glad to hear you are making the time. <br /><br />Tonight Liam wanted me to explain earthquakes to him (where would we go--upstairs: bottom bunk of his bunk bed; downstairs: under the kitchen table, away from the window.) Last week it was moonlight (full moon). I much preferred the moonlight discussion. <br /><br />xoxo<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523429512301405181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-4255577128706168482012-03-12T00:54:02.164-04:002012-03-12T00:54:02.164-04:00Ugh... swimsuits are AWFUL!

My norm is a pair of men's swim trunks and the top of a tankini, but I don't know what I'll do that's nursing-compatible this year. The last suit I bought that I actually liked was uber-pricey, but "custom" made from exelntdesigns.com. I'd plan on wearing it this year, too, but there's no boob access. Maybe a halter...<br /><br />Good luck. It's a losing battle for all of us. You are NOT alone.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08006692086413417834noreply@blogger.com
