Who knew?
So I found out a new joy of pregnancy. Besides just not being able to sleep for the most part. I am now waking up in the middle of the night, and early morning with cramped legs. Even now my poor legs are trying to loosen up. And with only two sleep position options, right side or left side, I don't see any light at the end of this tunnel. Such is life for a woman of my size. :)

Our care group, the inGroup, has a blog. Unfortunately it really is not updated much. Basically only when we have an event. so about once every two months. Maybe we will try harder to add stuff once a week or so. I don't know. I have not even been to good with my own blog, so I won't totally commit to that idea.

Wow is this going to be a busy week. I thought three day weekends are supposed to be relaxing. Today Caleb and I are going to finish cleaning out the garage. Caleb has made a lot of progress on his own in there, but I think it's time for the supervisor to help out. Sunday is church, which speaks for it's self. Monday we have a Memorial Day picnic at the park for out care group. Now, there are two other couples that help with this group and the picnic should be a fun and relaxing time, but leave it to me to insist that I decorate our picnic area. Nothing fancy, I just want to make it look festive and fun. So I am going to show up at the park at like 8 in the morning.
I have 12 orders for flowers that have to be delivered to the school office on Thursday morning. So that is going to take up the rest of my week. After Thursday morning, we are going to the banquet Thursday night, Graduation Friday Night, and several parties Saturday. Whew, I am tired just thinking about all this stuff.
I think there are two grad parties today also. I can't remember.

Because it's early and I don't want to go to work
An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey .
He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work as the ground was hard.His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop, Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.Love,Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie
Awww what a good son.

Because I have to
Has anyone else noticed how quickly pregnancy can go by? It seems like a few weeks ago we just found out we were having a baby. So crazy. Although, because I found out when I was only three weeks along, I feel like I like I am farther along then I am. (Did I just contradict myself?)
Anyway, home loans. Hopefully by the end of this day Caleb and I will know what we qualify for. I am really nervous because our last few attempts at entering into the world of home buying have not turned out so well. I really hope God will help us push through to a loan this time. Having a child really puts the pressure on. I would love to own a house before this little guy comes along, mainly so I can paint the walls! (kinda kidding, but not really) But really, renting can be the pits when you are not allowed to customize.
I'm playing around with the idea of a safari room. Only because someone gave me a bedding set last week and I think if I really went out of control with the whole idea it could be really cute.

Health Tips
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; isthis true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it...Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat?Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is : NoPain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember: 'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Ice Cream in one hand - chocolate in the other -body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What aRide'
AND.... For those of you who watch what you eat , here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacksthan Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacksthan Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heartattacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heartattacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages andfats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently whatkills you.

Surprise, we have a Wyatt!
It's a Boy! Wow, what a surprise. I had hoped for a boy, but had given myself over to the idea that we were having a girl. The sad part is my little boy doesn't have any cute outfits. We have dresses and girl shoes, but no cowboy boots or cute little rompers. I am sure the grandmas to be will remedy this problem rather quickly. In the mean time I am going to try to figure out how I am going to decorate his room.
I will post 3d pics later.
Jame Wyatt Dillon. (in case you were wondering)(Caleb picked it)(We made a deal, I name the girls, he names the boys)(I was in love and foolish when I signed that contract)
