Burst of Sunshine!

I absolutely love my mom! I talk to her on the phone pretty much every day, and she brings a smile to my face, and I know she brings joy to those who are around her. My dear sweet mother came up this week, to give us an extra boost of sunshine in our bed rest--and new care giver (Candice) lives. Like always, she did! She is a burst of sunshine and I am so grateful for her! I CAN do this...because I love my family! :) Candice and I are amazed how much energy and happiness she has in her heart! I had the laurels come over for their mutual night...they played games with me, and one of the leaders, (also my friend) saw my mom run up the stairs, and she told me my mom is cute. She can tell just by how my mom goes up the stairs! Her love is definitely contagious. When she leaves, and goes back home I always find myself wanting to be a better person! Thanks mom!

We also had so much fun together too! My mom gave us pedicures, watched chick-flicks, ate chocolate, went to Target, (very nice motorized carts) colored hair and hair cuts...so much FUN!! Love you Mom! :)

Things To Do If YOU are ever on bed rest...

I bet a lot of you are dying to know what does a pregnant woman do EVERY DAY while on BED REST!? Well I thought since I have the time, and I am not diggin' the movie Chase is watching, I can enlighten you.

I really don't know where to start. Ha ha! I usually play with Carter once he is up and had finished eating his breakfast. He now realizes that Mom doesn't go down stairs in the mornings, so he comes up after breakfast yelling, "Mom!!" and crawling in bed next to me. We like to watch "MICKEY!" (it is no longer Banga!) or Elmo. Or we play with his Toy Story toys, and he will line them up on the pillow, bed, or on our head board. Then it is his bath time, and Candice helps him get ready for the day. I sure do love that little boy, and it is really hard sometimes not to get up and go and have fun with him outside of the house. Then I remind myself that I want another healthy baby boy, so I got to hang in there.

Then my exciting day proceeds with me getting ready for my fascinating life. It is fascinating! I am an incubator for 3 months for our little Reece Thompson. (Nice name..huh?? We love it.) His full name is Reece Walter Thompson. Walter is my dad's middle name. I am a fan of family names for middle names. Carter's middle name is Gamble after Chase's grandma's maiden name, and it is also Chase's middle name. Just FYI. Just excited we have a name:) Now back to what I do...

While Carter is napping...(usually a nice 3 hour nap) I like to read my scriptures, check my email, facebook, read a book, (Work and the Glory...slowly reading..but reading) and SCRAP BOOKING ONLINE! It is very addicting. I love it. I also love to watch movies..any movie from chick-flick, to disney to ELVIS!!! I am also going to confess something, and I think my whole family knows, but I have some weird thing for Superman. Ever since I saw Christopher Reeve painted on the wall of the old movie theater, I fell in love. My little sister and I would watch the superman movies in grade school. Then in the 90's came the television series, "Lois and Clark." LOVED IT and OWN them on DVD. The whole Clark and Lois romance, and Lois and not knowing he's SUPERMAN just got to love it. And you can guess that I love the new series SMALLVILLE the young Clark Kent discovering his roots. So yeah, I am enjoying bed rest and the abillity to "rest" in "bed" and watch my favorite T.V. shows. Even Carter sings part of the Smallville theme song. So cute.

Sorry my dear friends and family. Chase is now sleeping on the couch due to the movie is now over, Carter is napping, and I had a chance to babble and bore you guys! I'll keep you posted!

Bed Rest Can Be Fun!

Yeah, Baby!!
