    26. Justine O'Neill // Mom Expert: Crying it Out
    Ivette and Justine talk over some fake wine coolers (aka watered down grape juice). Justine is a mother/sleep consultant and educator/founder of SleepyBye Family. She survived 2 C-sections, a postpartum mood anxiety disorder, and her own sleep issues in order to become a kick-ass pro on all things slumber. This episode is everything but a dozy, so get ready to laugh, cry and learn tips on how to create healthy sleep habits on your baby from early on.

    25. Almarie Guerra // Pop a Squat, Have a Baby
    Pregnant Ivette and Almarie drink tea lattes from Coffee Bean. Almarie is an actor/dancer/story pirate/clown/mother who actually loved being pregnant. They discuss the pros and cons of waiting 12 weeks to tell others you’re expecting, and talk about miscarrying, a home water birth that didn’t go as planned, baby wrapping, and elimination communication. (That’s when your baby poops in the potty before they can even walk.)

    24. Ivette García Dávila // Getting Drunk with Trina
    Ivette drinks up the rest of the Quarter Acre Merlot blend from New Zealand with one of her BFFs Trina Jacobsen. They talk breastfeeding woes, birth plans vs. intentions, and how growing a baby in your own womb doesn’t necessarily make you a mother no matter what the dictionary says. All moms are pushers -- the title of this podcast (and book) is not to be taken literally.

    17. Tina Poppy // Sperm Delivery
    Ivette has a little taste of a juicy yet perfectly elegant 2010 Domaine de la Chevalerie "Bretêche" Bourgueil Cab Franc with singer/songwriter/vintage fashion guru/mother Tina Poppy. They talk about growing up in Milwaukee, procuring sperm from a bank, how her boyfriend shuttled her donor's low-count semen, her water birth dreams going down the drain, and delivering a nine-plus pound baby girl without any drugs. Ouch is right.
