While a backlit digital watch is not my favorite accessory (for those, click here), there are a lot of digital watches out there that can be worn beyond the darkened room of your babe.

Left to my own devices, I typically stick to Top-40 stuff, but thanks to mix tapes from my older brother and ex-boyfriend, my music library also includes more interesting selections like the Pogues, Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians, Jane's Addiction, etc. I hate...
For those of you who have never heard of the Bump Wear Project, it's a blog that started in 2009 and has quickly become a great resource for amazing maternity finds.
