Get in the know on the top 2009 maternity fashion trends and tips from Rock Star Momma (and celebrity fashion fave), Skye Hoppus.

Although 2009 is already cooking along, it’s never too late to make positive changes for yourself.

First of all, let me say on the record that I love pediped shoes. They are adorable and if my son likes wearing them, they must be comfortable!

From December 17- 31, pediped will reduce the price of select shoe styles and then donate 50% of the sales from those shoes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. (Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.)

Although pediped initially pledged $50,000, their goal is to now double that pledge.

What a great way to get into the spirit of giving this holiday season!

With the plethora of cozy fabrics and vibrant colors, eco-friendly maternity fashion is on the cutting edge. What are we crushing on these days?

• pure t’s graphic tees made from sustainable fabric – lovely! And check out their nursing tops that come with their own “cover”. Genius!

• Belly Bandit’s wrap for helping postpartum bellies get back into shape. Now they’ve made a bamboo version of the original.

• Boob’s skinny jeans for pregnant gals. Flattering, comfortable, 98% organic… what more could you want?

And that’s just a few pieces that we’ve got on our mind. Visit The Cradle’s Eco-Cradle to read more of our green, eco-friendly maternity faves.

I’m feeling a bit moody today. No – it’s not due to my postpartum hormones. It’s due to the fact that I’m totally crushing on Moody Mamas‘ luscious maternity clothes.

We ran into MM at the Mom2B trade show last week where I was able to pick up one of their delicious Ritzy Mama Wraps to use while nursing. Dear god – it’s so soft, it feels like a dream.

But what I’m really crushing on is their new line, Fierce Mamas for Moody Mamas by Christian Siriano, (they created this with Project Runway’s Season 4 winner). Available to the public at the end of February (although they are taking preorders right now), these clothes are fashionable, a touch frilly and of course, fierce for all you mamas-to-be.

It’s enough to make me want to get pregnant for the third time. (Did I just say that out loud? Blame it on the hormones.)
