It’s random post time where I fill you in on all the random little things that have happened recently that didn’t warrant a post on their own!

The other day I was talking to the only other little boy’s mom I know that also has William’s Syndrome and she told me that there are only 11 registered cases in the state!!! That seems strange to me, Williams occurs in about 1 in 7,000 so statistically there should be a LOT more cases. I guess this is just proof that Williams is a largely undiagnosed genetic disorder.

I met my neighbors across the street finally the other day. Let’s just say the police were involved in a neighbor vs. neighbor dispute that involved shoving, screaming and cussing. I watched from the driveway with Ben and one of his work friends who came by to see our new house. Ironically his first comment was “Great Neighborhood!!”
On the plus side, one of the neighbors is a local restaurant owner who embarrassedly introduced himself after the ruckus and is bringing us lots of $$ off coupons. 
Actually, this one could have used it’s own post…

I had a day of luxury that I didn’t expect and was able to really appreciate. After dropping Sum off at daycare, I went home and took a nap, woke up and worked out at a nice gym I have a temporary membership to, then to Starbucks for a strawberries and cream frap. Yes, the luxurious life is nice… oh so nice…

So, this sounds like I’m bragging, and maybe on a certain level I totally am shamelessly bragging, but I’m 8-months-pregnant so whatever. I’ve had more, “you look good!” “you are so skinny!” and “you look so young!” comments in the last few months than I’ve EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I’m torn b/t feeling sad I never get to hear that normally and total joy that I’m so freaking hot… at 8-months-pregnant… hmmmmm.

I eat a lot. I think I’m shoving down over 5,000 calories a day. I’ve got to stop this. I don’t know why my metabolism is my friend right now, but I don’t want to take advantage of this pregnancy miracle.

I’m terrified of the landscaping in my yard. I’ll post some pics but I think we’ve bitten off more than we can chew in this area. Ben wants to bulldoze everything. It’s pretty, I want to keep it, but I don’t have time to weed the massive flower beds… in both the front AND back yards. There are flowers everywhere already, I have a purple blooming tree and massive amounts of strange bushes with thorns that have to go.

Sum had his first Easter egg hunt today at school. (last year he wasn’t so into it.) We were the nerdy parents who were both video recording and taking pictures. We were the nerdy parents who had both of our moms come too to witness their adorable grandchild. It was a blast. He went from total excitement, to screaming overwhelmed, to thrilled, to crying, back to absolute joy. It was an emotional event.

Ben is having a tooth pulled, cavities filled and bone grafting done today. Bone grafting sounds so horrible. I don’t know what they are going to do to him and honestly I don’t want to know. I’m posting as quick as I can because I think that this weekend may be kind of chaotic with an almost 3-year-old, a drugged up husband and massive amounts of holiday related things to do!
**********
Have a blessed Easter and although I didn’t take the time to remind you, remember what the holiday is REALLY about. Not the fluff.
