The sun is shining outside, the ice is quickly melting, it would be a perfect day to be outside starting spring yardwork. But here I am stuck on the couch. I was diagnosed last week with a placenta previa and I can only do limited activites until the placenta decides to migrate to a better place. It is so hard to sit still when the sky is a perfect blue and it is finally starting to be warm.I am trying to be a good sport about this, after all I know it is the best thing for the baby. But it is harder than you might think to keep “recumbent” all day!On a different note, I have been able to read quite a bit. I just finished “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert (www.elizabethgilbert.com) and really enjoyed it. Although I know I will never make a journey like hers I did take away a few pearls of wisdom that I hope to incorporate into my own life.

Oh Laura,
Welcome to the blogosphere! I loved Eat, Pray, Love! Did you read Gilbert’s answers to FAQ on that website? Her answers to the first and 5th questions there made me realize that you don’t have to leave your couch even, for a journey like hers. That book really opened my eyes. We’ll have to chat more about it when I come up and bug you next week.
I can’t imagine a more fun project for the dreaded bedrest. . . bloggin’ for the boys.
See you soon.
Carrie
