How exciting for you! The baby food thing may seem overwhelming at first, but once you start it's just a matter of being a little organized and finding a window of time to get it prepped. And, it gets easier and requires less time as they get to each new stage. As for the microwave, we weren't using it much for cooking, but just for reheating small portions of food and for some thawing. It never sat well with me, and I didn't like to stand in front of the microwave when it was on. I thought "if I don't want to stand in front of it, I shouldn't want to eat what's IN it"! We just stopped using it, and then I found it really didn't take that much longer to reheat in the toaster oven or standard oven in small dishes and such. I really don't miss it at all! Best to you both in the remaining months of the pregnancy! :) Hi Matt, well congrats to you and your wife! How exciting for you!

My wife and I are expecting our first this April, and it would be wonderful to know that the baby is eating as healthily as we are. I'm interested to know why you don't use a microwave...I've wondered myself about how safe/healthy it can be. Great post! This is great; thanks for the info!
