The Art of Motherhood

Prenatal Plan of Attack

Elevate motherhood to an art form.

Vanity Fair
Unleash your inner Demi Moore with photographer Elizabeth Preovolos. She will snap away as your belly grows and will even come to the hospital to get cover-shot-worthy pics right after delivery.

Madonna and Child
It’s slightly Blonde Ambition, but at least you’ll get things done with the Easy Expression bustier, which lets you pump hands free. Or go the Evita route with Bravado’s new Sublime bra in lace and satin (The Breastfeeding Center for Greater Washington, 2141 K Street NW; 202-293-5182).

Whistler’s Mother
Attract whistles with More of Me’s spring line. The D.C. label offers 25 percent off and free local shipping through March. Enter code CandyTrunk at checkout.

Starry Night
Book daytime, nighttime, or 24-hour baby nurses from the certified experts at Sandra’s Elite Nursing Care — most of whom are mammas and grandmammas themselves.

What a beautiful picture.
