3 More Days!

I made it past the full moon! YAY! Last night was rough. I had a whole lot of pressure and discomfort and was afraid I was going to go into actual labor. I woke up about 5 times last night just because I felt really bad. Today I napped a lot thanks to Netflix and the arrival of "The Land Before Time". Noah has a new obsession with dinosaurs, which he calls "didoors". He climbed into bed with me, along with all of his bears, and he would randomly kiss me and chat with me. What a wonderful little boy to let me sleep a bit... or at least relax. I took him to the PX and let him wander around and play with all the toys for being such a good boy.

When we came home there was a big package on the doorstep. I thought it was all my nursing gear, but it was a package from Grandma and Grandpa N. And what did Noah get for his birthday?? 3 plush DINOSAURS! And 2 dinosaur books and a shake and go race car. He's sleeping with all his dinosaurs, his baby, his bears... all with a big grin on his face. I also really like my girly massage/exfoliation gift set. I think I might bring it with me to the hospital and make Josh gimme a massage. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

I had to post this pic of my belly because I literally laugh every time I look in the mirror. My stomach just looks so out of place on my body haha. It looks so much bigger when it's not covered up. Josh comes home in 3 days! All you guys are guessing it's a girl and getting my hopes up over here. I'm about 51% sure it's a boy still. On a sidenote: I don't know how long this has been up, but I just noticed there is an "add video" link now so I am going to try and put the video I got the other day of Noah singing and dancing to the LeapFrog ABC song. After I had just told everyone he never sings and dances too :)

Noah never ceases to amaze his grandma.
And about that stomach of yours......LOL She is beautiful and not so very little either. I think she will be bigger than Noah was. You were my biggest one.

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
