Nope

Still no baby yet. I'm working on it! I just speed walked 2 miles. I know we're close, but I don't know when. I had those 2 days of some really great contractions and then got a nice break. I should be happy, I suppose. I can't say I'm frustrated yet... because I'm really not. I think my body knows what it's doing. The baby will be here when it's ready and I'm ready and the timing is right... right? hahaha :) I will post more later. I have some pictures, including more belly shots. I haven't been online much because I've been walking and cleaning and trying to get this baby to come out!!!

You are really enlightening me, Allie -- I had no idea it was so much work to have a baby! (I mean, I know it's alot of work, but I didn't know you had to do so much just to actully have the baby!) You must be in great shape from all that walking!

Yes,Rasberry Leaf teat is suppose to work!It helps to efface the cervix though so if you drink some maybe it will make you go from 90% to 100%!Drink up!haha

Poor you all of us are telling you to do all these wild things.You probably just want to curl up in a ball & take a nice little nap!

Most importantly enjoy that little baby kicking you because I miss it already!!It is so fun to be pregnant.It's just the last few weeks that kinda stink,lol.

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

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
