From my husband over the weekend: “Who knew I could get such a kick out of microbial action?” In reference to brewing beer and hearing the pleasant gurgle of active yeasties in the budding brew.

My Life In… Song (Part One)
An Open Letter To Frankie Avalon Frankie Avalon, you have my thanks for life. Not because you were a teenage heart-throb. Not because you permanently affected my views on beauty school. Because you named me. Because of you, my name is not Sunshine. I do not wish to denegrate other Sunshines in this world; Sunshine […]

Children’s Bill of Rights – a Refutation
Let me start by saying that for years (since I was a young child) I’ve determined that there should be a Children’s Bill of Rights. I never managed to sit down and write one, and it appears that John Rosemond has beat me to it. Unfortunately, I found when I read it that I had […]

Already?
Apparently whatever caffeine high I was on has left me and, after reading through the same inspiring blogs that made me want to write in the first place, I am already feeling that shrinking “what was I thinking, I have nothing important to say!” feeling. That feeling that you’ve become broken before you’ve even started. […]

Once more with feeling
Why am I writing another blog? Or, more correctly, why am I attempting to write another blog? One reason is that I’ve been inspired by women whose writing fills me with joy, laughter, and longing: Galit Breen and Erin Dionne. Another is that I have an unnerving desire to write and the fact that I […]

Appetite, reset!
Now, it could be totally unrelated, but I think the food poisoning may have actually re-set some sort of hormonal balance in my body… since I’ve been better I’ve finally started having the appetite that I’ve been looking forward to having all pregnancy!!! Also, the baby has already dropped quite a bit, so my stomach […]

Food poisoning, really????
Perhaps this is karma… since I never actually vomited during my 1st tri (I just got nauseated, but without the vomiting to at least make it feel productive, if you know what I mean). Throwing up with a basketball in my tummy is a totally new experience. I can’t quite hug the toilet bowl as […]

Zoom!
And it’s been another month practically. Truly amazing. Funny conversation between me and M the other night: Me: I found a nice kit to register for that has all the baby bathroom/care essentials… you know, thermometer, nasal aspirator, toothbrush, brush… M: Babies need brushes? Me: Well, they make special soft ones, and ones just for […]

Time’s already flying…
I was a bit stunned when I checked and realized my last post was almost a month ago! So what’s changed since then…. – Bigger kicks, rolls, punches, jabs. M has even been able to feel a couple, which is awesome. – Almost complete loss of belly button. No really, it’s amazing how quickly it […]

Rockettes, watch out!
Hooray of all hoorays, WE’VE GOT KICKING!!!! Also, pelvic rest is a thing of the past. Need we say that this is a very very very good thing? B’s supposed to be the size of a large mango now (8.5 oz, 6 in crown-rump). Again I say, where do these people buy their fruit?!?!?! You […]
