Quick Day!

Today seemed to just fly by, didn't it? Noah and I had so much fun with his blocks yesterday I decided we should get another set to add to them. Target is a dangerous store for me. I went in for blocks and came out with a lot more. I finally splurged on myself and bought 3 new maternity shirts... that are really just those long tees from the juniors department. I'm 6 months along now! I think I deserve a little something at least once a month. When I got home I realized I've been buying all the same color shirts... the light turquoisey greenish bluish tone. I tried to branch out and got a yellow shirt too, but it didn't fit right so I have to take it back.

I also got Noah his 4th of July outfit. I love the 4th of July clothes because red, white and blue really POP in pictures. The shirt has the pic of Uncle Sam on it and says "I want YOU to take me to the fireworks" it made me giggle so I got it :) Over at the one spot (the dollar section) I also picked up a little star shaped ice cube tray and a bug catching kit. As soon as we got home Noah wanted to catch bugs. We caught a lot of caterpillars, a grasshopper, a moth, and two other weird looking colorful creatures. Before naptime we let our captives go free and poured some pineapple juice into the star ice cube tray. That should be exciting for him tomorrow :)

We made some peanut butter cookies after naptime and then cooked dinner and did the dishes. By then we had just enough time to play with the new blocks for a good 30 minutes and then shower and head to bed. It doesn't seem like we did that much. Maybe it was the nap? Anyway... I'm going to start planning our roadtrip for the move to Ohio.

Thanks, Pam! I think after his haircut he just looks even cuter. Yesterday I had two ladies tell me he should be a baby model :O I just don't think I could ever be a model mom.

Target is always a dangerous place for me too. You look so cute pregnant. Since you have been buying lots of blue shirts do you think that it could be your mothers intuition that you are going to have another boy?????:)

Hi Christy :) Yeah Josh and I are pretty sure we're having another boy. I wish we could agree on a boys name! I think he's going to be a month old before we agree on anything.

Allie Update

Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him. My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected

Enough Planning, More Doing

I've been researching, reading about, diving into, writing about, and thinking about building confidence and self-trust for about 8 years now. It's time to get more intentional and active about it. I think I'm ready to move into that phase finally. I have a tendency to take in information and keep mulling it over, writing and expounding upon this that and the other, but now it's time for an actual plan. An action plan. I understand the problem as much as I can from the outside looking in. Now it's time to create learning opportunities: to make mistakes and deal with the consequences or to achieve something and deal with the praise. That's the next phase of learning... doing . So today I am creating a specific list of tasks that I have to do in the months ahead that specifically target insecurities and seek to force me to deal with the reality of those insecurities. The goal is to be able to build resilience  by proving my old voices wrong with a stack of accompl
