not bed rest.

the first couple of days you think,
you mean the doctor is telling me it's okay to sit in bed all day, watching tv and internet shopping the day away, without need for things like jeans, or makeup, or even shoes?
and it is fun, for a couple of days.
then you're tired of being inside all day. you want to go for a walk, fix your hair, feel the sun on your face, make homemade pasta, get groceries, go to el paso, lift your baby up when she cries.
laying in bed all day is not all it's cracked up to be.

p.s. now that the secret is out (way too early but we had to tell cause i'm in bed!) and all my fave friends realize that even the sight of the computer made me nauseous for two months (great for saving money!) i will catch up on all your blogs. i'm back! (i think.)

Yay! Sorry about the bed rest but so excited for you. I have been asking Derrick for about 2 months if he knew if you were preggo because you had not blogged so I thought you must be sick. When are you due?

Your preggo! I'm with Ashley, sending boy vibes your way! I know what you mean about being nauseated. To this day, I can't even look at the "Twilight" books because I seriously think I'll puke all over them (and I'm not even pregnant!).
