Fun in the Sprinkler

This was one of the first things Noah did this morning. Put on my PJ pants after I had gotten dressed. I was so glad I still had my camera out on my desk so I didn't miss it. He's such a ham. The sun was so hot today. I like to go outside every day for at least a few hours, but it was torture! The deck was on fire, practically. I did the only thing I could think of to cool it off and turned the sprinkler on it. Did the trick quite nicely.

Noah watered my shoes
and the plants
and himself
and tried to water me!

It's potty time again. Noah is showing a lot more independence with taking his clothes on and off and would rather wear a pull-up than a diaper. I think it's time to try again. I completely forgot I had bought a potty chair waaaaaay back when Noah was like 16 months old or something, silly me. It was just sitting up on the shelf. I had been using the kid seat for him on the big potty, but I decided whatever I can do at this point would be great. He loves the potty seat, but has yet to go potty in it. He understands he has to be diaper-less to sit on it now at least. He wants to carry the potty seat around with him... to sit on it and watch TV and eat... naked. He's really turning into a little man hahaha. I told him it has to stay in the bathroom. He totes his booster seat with him everywhere, but with his booster seat he wears clothes. I bought a "Bear in the Big Blue House" DVD about going on the potty, practice, independence, and pride in accomplishment. It's a glorious brainwashing melange of puppets and songs. He watched the entire thing and got excited about his potty chair so we'll see what happens.

I also bought some new linen drawstring maternity pants and I LOVE them. Josh has always wanted pants like this and will be so uber jealous. Eat your heart out, babe! ;) I know this may look goofy to a lot of people, but I love wearing little shirts around the house so my big belly can hang out. It makes it look so much bigger and therefore cuter (to me). I am enjoying this pregnancy so much :)

You look so cute. And believe me the shirts you wear are longer then i wear. I dont wear maternity shirts around the house. Just Pre- pregnancy shirts. needless to say they are very short now! How are you feeling, and how far are you?

Thanks, Jen! I am 6 months now and I feel just fine. I have some hip and lower back pain when I walk too much or sleep without my nest of 3 pillows. Other than that I've been feeling like myself... oh except I cry easier :)

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
