good (happy) books and movies... and other ideas?

One of my co-workers and friends is 23.5 weeks pregnant and on bedrest in the high risk area of Mercy for at least another 3.5 weeks. I am going to see her Monday and she wants some books and movies to keep her busy. Any recommendations for good, happy books and movies. She has had enough reasons to make her cry the last week.

 

What else would you want if you were on bed rest for that long?

    We just watched Grown Ups and it was hilarious!  If she hasn't had her fill of them I always like gossip magazines for wasting time.  They are easy to pick up and put down if she has visitors or nurses interrupting her and usually are pretty light reading.

  • Water for Elephants is a great book! I have quite a few good books if you want to loan them too her! Most of them are mushy love stories ;-)
