Oh My GOSH, I Am Out Of Shape!
Tonight was my first session with my personal trainer and WHOA she is serious! She had no mercy on me what so ever. I told her I haven't stepped inside a gym since before I got married which was over 3 years ago, but once we started we did not stop. I worked legs and abs today and when our hour was up, I could barely walk down the stairs to my car. I walked out of there like an 80 year old woman, holding on to the handrail as I took one stair at a time. Darrin had his session on Monday and he came home telling me to be prepared and all that he had to do. He said he hadn't worked out that hard since his first year of college which was quite some time ago.
Here is a run down of my hour:
- 20 squats on a core ball (like a core ball but half, the bottom half is flat, so standing on the top of the curve, flat part on the ground)
- 1 minute of this excerise that killed me. Using the core ball, jump from side to side with one leg always being on the ball, like a shuffle. I can't describe it well, but it was tough!
- 20 push ups
- 1 min of holding yourself up in the push up position, I think it's called a plank position.
- 30 sec wall sit
- 20 reps of hamstrings
- 20 reps of quads
- 20 sit ups all the way from laying upside down on the machine with a ball
- While in the up position of a sit up, laying upside down on a machine, holding the ball, side to side movements - 20 reps (left to right, right to left is one)
- Holding a ball between my knees and lifting the ball up to a crunch.
- Using a jumprope/band thing - 30 arm curls
- 20 reps of chest on machine
- 20 reps of bicep curls on machine
Wish us luck, we have 3 serious months before bikini (or one piece) season!

18 Month Check Up
Weight: 26.2 lbs - 80th Percentile
Height: 33 3/4 in - 96th Percentile
Head Circumference - 19 in - 90th Percentile
I think it's safe to say Reagan takes after her Daddy. She is going to be a tall girl and probably even pass me up! Everything else looked great except for the fact that she is getting FOUR molars in at one time. The 2 on the bottom have finally broke through and the 2 on the top should any day now.
Here are a few things she is into, I'm sure there are a ton of other things I am forgetting. She mimics words that I say but more in the tone, not the word.
She loves to dance, it's her favorite thing to do.
Second favorite is to color.
Loves to play in my make-up bag.
Snuggles with her baby.
Loves to play on our bed, she is extremely ticklish.
Points to things she wants.
Uses her fork and spoon well but starting to become more picky with foods.
Loves splashing around at bath time with Daddy.
Words: choos - shoes

pawpaw
NaNa - Nonna or what she calls Natache - Na

ow-si - outside
juice
Reagan's peditrition is moving to Georgia. I am really sad because we have gone to her since Reagan was born and she is a wonderful lady. She has been here as a nurse for 14 years here in San Diego but her husband lost his job in December and they can no longer afford to live here. It's going to be hard to get used to someone else now because I really liked her. She was so sweet, cared so much and I valued what she had to say. I am ready for Nurse Sister to be our nurse! I already know we (and everyone else) will love her!

Super Bowl Sunday
Let me first just start off by saying Darrin and I woke up this morning and headed straight to the gym just because we knew today was the Super Bowl. We could really care less who wins, we were more excited about the food. Why does it seem like the best foods are served during the Super Bowl? I feel like we have been planning and looking at things to eat for weeks now! We were invited to a few parties, but on Sunday's we kinda enjoy being together. Since it is our only full day together we tend to spend it alone. So in honor of the Colts and the Saints we pigged out.
If anyone has yet to meet Ree Drummond you are truly missing out. I found out about her about a year ago and she has completely changed my life. Here is her website: The Pioneer Woman. We have had the Cajun Meatloaf, My Most Favorite Burger Ever (for now), Simple.Perfect. Enchiladas, 2008 End of The Year Pot Roast, The Best Lasagna. Ever, Chicken Spaghetti, Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs, Baked Lemon Pasta, Homemade Chicken and Noodle Soup, most of the side dishes and a few of the deserts. (I told you she changed my life!)
Today we fixed Restaurant Style Salsa , Pico de Gallo and Guacamole, Quesadillas de Camerones and ate whole bag of tostitos!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Happy 18 Month Birthday Reagan!
Reagan,
I can not believe it has already been a year and a half since the first time I held you. It seems like not long ago we were preparing for your arrival, wondering what you would look like and realizing we were about to be parents. Now, you are no longer a baby, but becoming a little girl. You have such a loving heart and you show us everyday how much you love us. You are learning so many new things each day and you continue to surprise us with how much you already know. You are becoming more and more independent and you love being around people. You are such a friendly, happy little girl and I am so lucky that I get to spend everyday with you. You are such a blessing in our lives and I am so proud to be your Mom. Thank you for being such a wonderful joy in so many lives. I love you so much.
