Kicked it into HIGH GEAR!

So in our crazy lives I have not had any time to write. First off, Derek and I are officially in the bandwagon to get healthy. Derek was diagnosed with high blood pressure at the young age of 29, and he was put on 10mg of lisinopril per day(which per my Aunt is a low dose). I knew his blood pressure was high, but I never thought he would be put on meds. So we have been eating these pre made/ready salads from Kroger's private selection. They are delicious and low in calories.

We also have been doing the Wii Fit together, so much so that we ordered the Wii Fit Plus and Biggest Loser games! I'll be the first to say that our dessert CRAVINGS have been bad lately and we got some of smart ones chocolate chip cookie dough sundae, and they are sooooo good!

Derek has already lost 4lbs,
ive lost none,typical i guess!
Derek and I also went to B'RUS last week and bought dreycin a new car seat because....yep he is getting wayyyy to big for his infant car seat which I think the Baby Trend brand we bought runs small, it only holds up to 22lbs?
We are definitely going to need it by the time we come home to Dallas at the end of March. He is at least 18lbs according to the scale the other day!?!?!? His straps are on the loosest setting possible! We ended up getting a Britax Marathon that is a convertible and can be used from 5lbs-65lbs. He's a big boy, pretty much wearing all 6months and up clothes. We also found a new love for pampers swipers, we LOVE the smell its kind of grapey! As i sit here on the floor writing this, Dreycin is soooooooo close to rolling onto his tummy from his back! We also welcomed (well we werent in Austin) Dreycin's new baby cousin Jude Rowan DeLaVega, he's quite the cutie and looks just like his momma Misty! This week Abuela Doss is in Texas for a few days so I think Dreycin is missing her! Derek was able to get two days off this week so that she could go, and I wouldnt have to take any time off. In other news....I had to go to the immediate care center because my mom stabbed(it was actually a poke) with a knife. What happened was she was cutting celery in the kitchen and the fan was on high on the microwave, and I guess she didnt hear me come up behind her to put my dinner dishes in the sink, and at the same time my mom turned to throw the celery trash away (with the knife in her hand) and my shoulder was right there. It could have been ALOT worse, but thank god it was just a dull steak knife and just made me actually bleed in one spot, and knicked me in two others. Well after we got to the immediate care center and found out it was going to be a 2hr wait.....I called my Aunt who is a Physician Assistant, and first she laughed, we laughed, but then she told me I just had to get a tetanus shot within 72hrs. Ironically mine was up last year. I ended up getting the shot at work yesterday, my arm hurt like hell last night and today. on top of all this chaos.....we are also looking for a house to rent until 2012, something to accomodate our growing family! We have found a few houses but we arent settling quite yet. Its just stressful, moving yet AGAIN!
AANNNNDDDD.....Derek's brother Elliot came into town from Iraq visited for a few days then went back to Texas & got engaged to such a wonderful and beautiful girl, Sarah. We are so happy for them. They have already made it through the first half of the deployment, so in my heart I know they can make it through anything!
Pics to come later, im off for the next two days so i'll make some time to upload! Does anyone have any input on photo editing websites/programs? Ive seen so many pictures lately were people put their baby's name or initials in the corner!? its so cute!

  1. yay for getting healthy! It seems like the smaller i get, the harder it is to lose the weight!
    Gone are the weeks where I'd lost 3 or 4 lbs! I WISH! Now it's like 1-2 lbs a week... IF THAT!
    UGH!
