I am moving....

I have decided that since We are a little family now I am going to change my blog.
I will be blogging over at The Evans Nest from now on on all of our updates from Baby girl,to the house, to life in general.

See ya there!!

A Little Pink Drink Called Plexus

So as most you know (family and friends) I started my Plexus journey a month ago.  Let me tell you something... I love this drink. I don't know what it does that gives me so much energy but its awesome!!

One of my good friends has been selling the stuff for about 6 months now and I had been hem hawing the idea around of trying it but never bit the bullet. 
Finally, after talking it over with the hubs I decided to give it a go and sign up as an ambassador.
I did this hoping that I could get enough sells so that it would allow my product to eventually be FREE.
I mean really, who doesn't love free. 

So, I purchased my ambassador pack and signed up.
 Filled out my website info, etc, etc.
Then, I started posting on facebook and finally got a bite. My first order. 
And then another, and another. 
All in a month!!!
I finally got my product for free.

Meanwhile, during the time all that was happening and me posting twice a day on facebook I continued to drink my pink drink and take my accelerator twice a day. 

Now a month out and I am down 5 pounds!! 
And, I am getting my next order of Plexus Slim and Accelerator for Free.
Yaaaay!!


As you can tell in the pictures, my tummy is shrinking and those pesky love handles!!
Oh yea!!

 

Baby weight be gone!!

 

If you have any questions on Plexus let me know. 
I would love to help you reach your weight loss goals!!

If I can do it, You can too!!

SORRY!!! 36 WEEKS!!

*** THIS WAS WRITTEN A WHILE BACK BUT THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY NOT TO SHARE***

Sorry ya'll. I have been kinda MIA the last oh ummmm 15 weeks I think. 
With the craziness of getting moved in.  Feeling huge and a million gagillion things to do I just kinda needed a break from the world of blogging.  I really hope I can get back on track once little Annalise is here.  I am SO ready for her to be here!!

I cannot believe I am already 36 1/2 weeks.  It is insaine!  Where or where did all the time go.... like for real?  Its just gone and this little baby will be here anytime now.

Monday I will finally have my appointment where they start "checking" me to see if I am dialated or not.  Lord please tell me I am.  I feel that at any given moment this little bambino will just fall out of me.  Seriously!  No, Seriusly I do.

As far as the house, we are finally moved in!! Settle in, and unpacked for the most part.  We still have a ton of boxes in the office (my craft stuff) to take care of but  honestly I am not worried about it until I can get a few things to make the office look like the office.. Like bookshelves would be nice!!

Othere than that I have everything pretty much done and ready to go for Miss Annalise's arrival.  I just need to pack my bag for the hospital and get Aaron to put her carseat in the car and I think we'll be pretty set.

As far as her nursery.  Ya'll I cannot wait to show you.  It turned out so much better than I ever imaagined.  It is so peaceful, calm, and just beautiful.  I wish she could tell me how much she loves it as a baby so I would have the full satisfaction that I did good.  But I know she can't.  I guess just knowing how it makes me feel when I walk in her room is going to have to be good enough for now.

I promise I will try to update ya'll soon on everything else going on. 

In the mean time I will just leave you with a  little picture of our sweet girl at my 32 week 3D ultra sound.  I mean look at those cheeks!!!  Cant wait to plant my kisses all over them!!

Its been forever....

Golly, its been forever since I wrote on here.
I sure do miss this place and all of you out there in blog wonderland.
Hopefully now that life has slowed down gotten a little less chaotic 
I can get back to random posts about our everyday grind. 

First things first I have something I want to share with you!
I am selling a product called Plexus. 
I just signed up as an ambassador a little over a month ago and I am totally excited for the new journey ahead of me.
This product so far is amazing.

 

I have more energy than I have had in a long time and I am just so excited about it I want to share it with you.

I have now been on the product for one month. 
Yes, just one month as of yesterday (4 weeks) and I am already down 5 pounds.
Doesn't sound like a lot though does it?
I didn't think so either honestly but I have been stuck in a rut of getting off these last 10 pounds of baby weight since February....FEBRUARY!!
Its finally helping in whatever area it is to help me reach my goals and I am LOVING it!!

Second, my baby girl is 6 months old!!

 

I just can't believe how fast these months have flown by.
How much I love her to pieces.
And how incredibly blessed I am to be a mommy to such a special little girl.
Y'all she seriously melts my heart everyday.

She loves to grab my face now and give me kisses.
She rests her head on my shoulders at night as I sing to her.
She giggles when we play tickle monster.
Gosh, I could just go on and on.

So yea, in a nutshell that's what new over in the Evans household. 
I really hope I can find time to keep up with blogging, as I sure have missed it.

I'm eager to update y'all with Annie's month the month updates and also how I am doing post baby and the lovely weight loss adventure.

 

Keep your eyes open as I'll be back soon....
This time for real y'all.

XOXO-

Total Conditioning Kicked My Butt

Last night I finally got up enough nerve to go back to my beloved TC class at my gym. TC is the class that whipped my butt into shape before my big day. I had a love hate relationship with it for the months leading up to my wedding. I loved it becuase I started to see results right away. I hated it because I thought I would loose my cookies every class. I left exhausted and woke up sore as hell.

Nevertheless, I continued to go week after week and on my by my big day I had shedded a whopping 25 pounds.

Here I was walking back into that dreaded yet loved class to loose not 25 pounds but hopefully 50 pounds of the baby weight and happy marriage weight I had put in in a less than 2 years.

Here's to a class I love to hate and hate to love.

 

Back to the grind.

Sorry I've been on a hiatus and haven't been able to post in quite a while. Now that baby girl is here and I'm finally getting back into my groove. Hopefully I can get back to my regular posts. 

I'll leave you with this photo of annies bath this morning to hold you over until next time. 

21 Weeks

How Far Along Are You:  21 Weeks (22 and 2 days today)

 

Baby is the Size of A: Carrot

Stretch Marks:  Oh Joy, I had two sprout up just above my belly button this week.  I noticed them Monday morning.  I am hoping they don't get much worse. I'll be sure to tell Miss Annie not to get her belly button pierced.  Pregnant with a old belly button ring scar is not pretty!!

Symptoms: I'm feeling really great, I don't have much to complain about.  My feet are still swelling but I am just putting that up as being pregnant now. I have done everything I can to eliminate it from happening but sitting down all day probably doesn't help my cause.  By late evening of having them propped up they normally start to subside.

Sleep:  This week was pretty good until Monday night.  I was wide awake at 3 am and decided to just get up.  I feel so bad when I am restless because I know I am keeping Aaron up.  He says he doesn't mind, but I know I would.  I just watched some TV in the living room, did a load of laundry, packed lunches and cleaned the kitchen till it was time for me to wake him up.  My plan now is to just exhaust myself and by 10 pm I should just be so tired I need to sleep.

Best Moments:  This week was amazing because Aaron finally got to feel his sweet baby girl kick.  It was such an awesome moment.  Sunday night she was moving like crazy and I asked him to come over and feel her.  I thought they might be strong enough.  Sure enough when he put his hand on my belly she stopped.  Monday morning I was lying in bed on my side and I could feel her wiggling all over the place so I knew this was  a good time.  I woke him up and took his hand to the left of my belly and just as it got there he felt her.  It was so sweet to see his reaction. 

Miss Anything:  Nothing as of now.  I am just trying to eat as healthy as I can for this sweet baby girl and keep my salt intake in control.

Have you Started to Show:  Duh!!  Yea, I feel huge but I know I still have a ways to go. 

Baby is A: Girl

Belly Button In or Out:  Still In

Happy or Moody:  I would say happy for the most part except as I reported last week about my A/C in my car, it decided to do it again.  Monday we took it in to get fixed so hopefully that won't be happening anymore in the near future.  Texas Heat, Humidity, plus pregnancy = not a happy Crystal

Cravings:  Ice cream as usual and that is about it so far.

Goals this Week:  Continue to work out at least 2 or 3 times a week.  And get some more furniture painted for Annalise's room.  We bought he furniture this weekend so I am excited to get some fresh paint on top of it so come move in day we are good to just set up shop! (I am using safe paint, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint)

 

Sorry no bump photos this week. I guess I never managed to take one.  Next week I promise I will have one!!
