My 5 Truths

So the days of bed rest are not always the brightest or the cheeriest days. With this knowledge a great friend of mine told me I have to think of 5 positive things for each day and I have decided to call these my 5 truths. So here are my 5 truths for the day:

1. I am pregnant one more day.
2. My best friend is my husband.
3. Warm Mr.J's bagels with cream cheese are the best.
4. A sleeping dog that snores and softly barks at dreams makes me smile.
5. I AM LOVED.
