Growth Spurt for Sure

Sorry. No pictures today. Tristan was doing the crazy eating constantly for about 3 days and today he's been asleep pretty much alllll day long. I am positive he's in a growth spurt now. I've been forced to pump all day because he increased my milk supply and then started sleeping on the job lol. I don't mind having reserves! I kept thinking about how you said Ember is during a growth spurt, Brit. So very very true.

Karrie watched the boys for me and I went to the grocery store alone. It was... amazing. I forgot what it was like to get groceries without having to bargain with a 3yr old, although Noah is really helpful at the store most of the time. I was kinda lonely to be honest. I didn't have anyone to talk to! I really appreciated it though once I got home and didn't have to yell at Noah every 5 minutes to get back into the house haha. I'm going to miss Karrie if we move. She's been so helpful and fun. I wish I could take her with me. We just dropped them back off at home and Noah said "I love CJ" the entire drive back. Sigh. So is life.

A cold front moved in and we're enjoying a fall breeze for the first time this year. Unfortunately it's only going to last until Wednesday and then the temp is climbing back up to 85. I bought Noah his Fall wardrobe at Walmart anyways. We're ready for Fall! I wish it would just stay cool and breezy. I miss Ohio SO BAD! I know I say it a lot, but this is the time of year when I get the most homesick. My Mom knows this and tortures me with emails, pictures, and videos of the great weather and the gorgeous trees. If all goes well we'll be visiting Ohio soon! Britni that means you're going to be doing a photo shoot for us :) YAY! I am officially inviting myself over hahaha.

Don't you just love growth spurts. It gives you a chance to breathe. Dylan was a constant nurser. I felt like I ran around the house with my shirt up, or off half of the day. I just took it as he was small and needed to catch up. Sometimes he would nurse for an hour. Take advantage of the extra milk supply. It gets harder the longer you go. Oh and yes, you have to stop by Britni's and have them do a photo shoot for you :)

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
