Reincarnated As A Mother

A Full Sunday (Day 51)

Sunday is the perfect day for me to list some of the many things I am thankful for (in no particular order)…
* Uncountable miracles
* Clean sheets every day and a cushiony egg crate mattress.
* A baby in my stomach who knows the meaning of “fight”.
* A husband who can do anything and everything—including throw a 3 year old the perfect party. I love my man!
* Kind, compassionate and capable nurses.
* A big brother who happens to be my most faithful visitor.
* Prayers, fasting and Priesthood Blessings.
* My amazing parents who have made so many sacrifices—for me.
* Three little girls who get wildly excited just to talk to their mother on the phone.
* The widest circle of incredible friends—who bring me treats, books, flowers and most of all laughter and hugs that keep me sane.
* Les Rose’s daily “dose” of YouTube music videos.
* Phone calls from my dearest, far-away friends.
* The re-enforcement that cable TV is a total waste of time and money.
* Loving friends who have stepped in to be surrogate parents to my children.
* Church members (some I’ve never met) who have brought in meals, helped weed the garden and cleaned my house.
* Daily doctor visits from a medical whiz who is singularly focused on giving this baby boy the best chance at survival.
* Hospital Internet
* The young men (and adult driver) who come clear downtown to bring me the Sacrament each Sunday.
* Hope and Faith (still…)
* Absolute proof and confidence that I am very loved—by family, friends, my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

I think maybe you should write a book after all of this. I konw I would buy it. But, you must include lots of pictures in the book too.

Yep, gotta have that hospital internet!

I think Chuck is right. Order up an advance copy for me:

"Bringing Spartacus"
