We've been calling ours the Larval Human :-)<BR/><BR/>It's been amazing to discover what "We" like and don't like. I love broccoli. WE hate it. I don't like bell peppers. WE despise them with an OH GOD SCRAPE MY TONGUE aversion. I don't like celery. WE love it. It's definitely a ride!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations! (I'm behind.

It's beautiful. I love the photos and your writing. Apart from the food blog that drew me here, I read "meet the Chef" and "yes." And I cried. Repeatedly. In both posts. I love your writing. Honest, open, and thoughtful.<BR/><BR/>I found another of your food posts, and you mentioned being what had to be morning sickness. A searching I went! And this I found.<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy for you both!<BR/><BR/>Do you sing to Little Bean? Every morning when I rubbed skin balm on my bump, I would sing to my baby. "Little baby, living in me, little baby. Are you a girl, are you a boy? Little baby, living in me, little baby." <BR/><BR/>The bonding experience is magical. The most amazing thing happens after the birth...your baby will recognize your singing, your voice, and even the words. Wonderfully calming for both of you when you need it most. <BR/><BR/>The world is a startling place after the womb. Things that comfort and calm can be helpful!<BR/><BR/>ML<BR/><BR/>PS: Be working on magnesium rich recipes for your time near and after the birth. Mag is a natural muscle relaxer and will help tremendously!<BR/><BR/>When you are exhausted, remember <I>YES!!!</I>MotherLodenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294566.post-71588243094345723592008-03-28T03:24:00.000-07:002008-03-28T03:24:00.000-07:00Hey Shauna! <BR/><BR/>This is such wonderful news!<BR/><BR/>I have to tell you more great news...no matter how excited you are right this minute, your life is going to get so much better, so much fuller, so much richer and there is absolutely no way to even explain how that is even possible. But it will and you'll wonder how you ever lived a full life without little bean. <BR/><BR/>And here's another thing - Think you love The Chef now? Wait until you see your kid look up at him adoringly and smile and giggle at him. You'll fall in love with him all over again. And it is the best, most comforting feeling in the world, to see how this kid loves him for totally separate, independent reasons. <BR/><BR/>You know, on my blog, I do a lot of making fun of what a circus we have going with our two babies and it's definately a circus, but we LOVE it. We LOVE every minute of it. And so will you. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations Shauna!

I went gluten free about a month and half before I got pregnant, after having an ALCAT food sensitivity test. I had been tested for the regular celiac blood panel and a genetic panel after my older sister was diagnosed. She was pregnant at the time, going through nausea and gluten withdrawl at the same time. I have the gene that is more prone to developing celiac, so my doctor authorized the celiac panel testing, but it was quite confusing. My score was 0-3, or "negative" or something like that. So that was no help. I had been fighting fatigue for a long time, so I tried the ALCAT test, recommended by my chiropractor. I was sensative to other foods and dyes and additives, but seeing that I had a reaction to gliadin made me want to give an elimination diet a try. Once I got over the first couple weeks of withdrawl, I was feeling much less fatigued and tired, and my eczema faded. So I've stayed gluten free, even though I do not have a traditional diagnosis. I was wondering what you thought, I have been doing research, and there are people who think there may be non-celiac gluten sensitivity/intolerance, or varying degrees of gluten sensitivity and intolerance. Or maybe my system wasn't damaged enough yet to register as celiac disease. Sometimes it is hard to explain to others, because I never was diagnosed with celiac. Sometimes I wonder if it was worth it to self diagnose, or if I should go back to eating gluten after the baby is born, and get "officially" tested again. I can't wait to read your book once my sister finishes her turn with it.JessicaKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17807816284740001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294566.post-54054866024924143612008-03-18T15:54:00.000-07:002008-03-18T15:54:00.000-07:00As I read your words, I could see the love that you and The Chef have for Little Bean already!

I'm sure you'll get tons of preggers advice but I gotta share these links:<BR/>www.ican-online.org/ , www.babywearer.com , www.askdrsears.com . Also suggest you do research on vaccines and decide what you believe is right before you have the baby. No time to do it afterwards!<BR/>Best of luck!Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970668853245195173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294566.post-33419200826108700592008-03-17T18:09:00.000-07:002008-03-17T18:09:00.000-07:00Wow, congratulations!!

I find it fitting that we are due around the same time! <BR/><BR/>Before my gluten situation became apparent I had multiple losses, though it's never been determined if it has to do with my clotting disorder or the gluten or perhaps in some crazy way, both. <BR/><BR/>I have a problem with salad- been this way this entire pregnancy. A forkful of uncooked greens has teh power to cripple me with a bad case of the heaves, though occasionally I can solider through and enjoy.. but the texture, oh it IS the texture that is so gag-worthy.fidgethttp://findingyourself.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294566.post-75223340626383856312008-03-15T12:23:00.000-07:002008-03-15T12:23:00.000-07:00Felicidades!
