If I end up with a wheat allergic child -- know I'll be looking to you for recipes.

So, the Toddles is just as allergic as his big brother, and with tougher allergens (grains? ya gotta be kidding me) to manage. But it *is* easier, and it's just out of my hands. We rolled the genetic dice, and we bought the tickets, and it works, mostly because we learned the trade from managing the Eldest. Honestly, hon, there's nothing you can do. So why stress yourself about it? You know that stress is just going to lead you to guilt, and that's really just sooooo much fun... If you are worried, work on what you have now. Build lines of communication between you and your husband, between you and your child. Build foundations of knowledge with extended family, and then rest. Gestate. It'll all sort itself out.. Oh, dear.
