Deep Thoughts From the Girl in Bed...

Everything is going hunky dory! Just peachy! I am now 32 weeks, 4 days--and still pregnant! I have 3 more weeks of bed rest! Let's hear a big "Ooo--HA!" I'm going to make it! I think this is amazing: I've been in bed for 68 days! WOW! That is over 2 months! A few things that I've noticed from being home are...the sun shines most brightly around 3:17pm...and that is also when Ellen is on. I love being back home. I'm allowed to go downstairs once in a while, which is really really nice.


Thanksgiving is coming up, and we are going to dine out--or "in" I guess. We are pretty excited. Chase is off of school for a whole week--which is really exciting! So he's going to work on our little yard, and I'm going to be enjoying the "MAXIMUS." The maximus is what we named our new television that was passed down to us. I think Thanksgiving and 3 weeks of bed rest are going to be wonderful. I've never seen Elvis so big in my life! :)

I've been looking at my pictures that I have on my computer (yes...can you believe it? I have TIME for that!) and I just LOVE posting pictures on the blog, so I'm going to post some from our New York Trip. Chase and I went there last year for Christmas! We had so much fun! My sister lives up there, so we joined her family and my other sister's family for Christmas! Being in bed I open the window to feel the fresh air, and I'm getting really excited for the upcoming holidays and to wear a sweater and drink hot chocolate! Enjoy the pictures!

New PJ's for Christmas

Chase says that sometimes you just gotta grab the bull by the ... I disagree.

P.S. Mr. Chase Thompson/ Halloween

You know when actresses or actors are thanking the people after they recieve an oscar or something, then they get in trouble by the public for forgetting to thank someone.I am guilty of that. I guess I could have mentioned that my husband was at my birthday party too. He was the first one to call and sing to me, "Happy Happy Birthday, Meagan dear." It was very sweet and very cute! All I wanted for my birthday, was "Hocus Pocus," and Chase gave it to me with an hilarious and sweet birthday card! I sure do love that guy!:) After my mother left, Chase and I spent the rest of the day at the hospital eating treats, and watching tv. It was very great!



Chase and I had a wonderful Halloween this year. Chase passed out candy, and he was sooo excited to do that. I was upstairs eating candy, and watching "Hocus Pocus." We didn't carve pumpkins this year, but last year we did and they were rockin'! Mine's on the left, and Chase did the one on the right.

Birthday Blast and Going Home

Hello! I had a birthday in the hospital...and my dear sweet mother came and spent the day with me. My mom was with me twenty three years ago in the hospital, and was with me again in the hospital for my special day! It was so much fun! She came down Tuesday night, and we had a sleep over! She decorated my room with balloons and with birthday signs.

I woke up with her giving me German Pancakes for breakfast (A Lundgreen tradition they are so so good...if you want the recipe, just let me know) And she also gave them to me on a red plate. In my family if it is your birthday, or some special day, you ate off the red plate, meaning: you are special today. So, my mother even brought the red plate for all my meals!

And she also made me wear the princess crown. She tried to make me wear it when she took me on a wheel chair ride, but I just held it in my hands:) It was a great birthday. I had quite alot of visitors, cookies, cards, and MOVIES! I love movies! My sisters gave me "I dream of Jeannie," so I've been hooked on those. After lunch, I got my mint cake dessert! My favorite! Yum yum! And I also ate it on the red plate. It was the best birthday in the hospital, that I can always remember!



On a very, very, exciting note, I was discharged from the hospital, on Wednesday, October 29th. The doctor said that I am doing well, and I am okay to take care of myself at home. I still am on strict bed rest, with bathroom privileges. I take my medicine every 6 hours, and they are stopping my contractions. And baby Carter is definitely growing and doing well. I was in the hospital for 26 days! Wow! They want me on bed rest for at least 5-6 weeks. I'll be 34 or 35 weeks. I LOVE BEING HOME! When the nurse was wheeling me out to Chase's car, (I haven't been in a car since October 3rd.) I wanted to cry for joy. The car ride was wonderful, and the sun, and sky are so beautiful! Just 5 more weeks!
