@ Laura Louise – Eek! Yeah, that podcast appears to be from the Traditional Foods/Weston A Price Foundation school of thought, which unfortunately is not a group organizations that I really trust (and I’ve got a lot of experience) But! I’m downloading a bunch of episodes and I’m going to give it a try. There’s usually good information to be found there, if you can get past the “Soy will kill you cancer and give your baby the gay!” and “Don’t breastfeed just feed your baby bone broth and raw milk!” craziness, haha. Ah nutrition, it’s such a terribly imperfect ‘science’ . . . ;-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the podcast list!!! It has been hard for me to find good ones.
The only thing I listen to is undergroundwellness, which is not exactly even vegetarian friendly but many guests of the show are really awesome. They talk about some interesting things like fluoride in your water, GMO foods, MSG, food sensitivities etc. Gets me thinking about stuff while showering :D

The baby is supposedly due on Jan 1st, but since it HAS to be a cesarean, it will probably be scheduled for the week of Dec 20… maybe. We’ve got an appointment with our doctor tomorrow, and I’ll ask her.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was full of Farmer’s Market, pumpkin patch, hay rides, apple tasting festival, long crisp morning walks, amazing eats . . . pretty much a perfect autumn weekend!

@ erosan – Love that invite! So cute! And yes, HBBOTB is an AWESOME technique. It works. It is lifesaving. Different combos work for different babes – swaddling + shushing was Waits’ cocktail. We still use shushing and it works like a charm to get him to sleep. Luck!

ps – when is baby due?

@ Minna – Ooh tell me how you like the recipes!

@ Laura Louise – I’ve had a radio in my bathroom for years and years. I can’t imagine showering in silence! I’m all about the political talk radio. Makes showering so much more fun & engaging! =D

@ Rea – Yay! So glad you liked the pumpkin pie!

@ Saundra – Well I don’t know if he’s actually eating it, haha, but it’s sweet potato!

Thanks everyone! Love you guys and your lovely love lists!

For those wanting more Waits pics, I just posted these. =)

I want to add a 4th one! After all the rave reviews, I finally watched “The happiest baby on the block” from Harvey Karp.

OMG, if it really works as well as it seems to (and judging by the reviews it does), it should be renamed “The happiest parent on earth”.

I firmly believe it is a must-see for every to-be-parent. And hey, if it does not work, at least it gave me a lot of confidence :P

1] My husband is *this close* to finishing my first greenhouse!

2] Doughnuts. Double chocolate glazed, to be precise. (Running out of apple cider was a happy accident!)

3] I just found the perfect baby blanket pattern, and my best friend has a little one due early 2011. Let the knitting begin!
