I have mentioned previously that I am not one for books to pass my time away, due to my lack of attention.  However, what I failed to mention is that I am all for books when they pertain to something that I can easily relate to.  Never mind when you are going through something that you just want to find some peace of mind, like books related to bed rest, I am all for ;  )

Here I have for you a list of some bed rest books that I think are good resources for us Bed Rest Mommies, and once again, reading is another time passer!  

By the way, it is Friday... another week down!!!
