Wednesday Play Group

A bunch of us military mommies from cafemom.com meet up every Wednesday on the base playground to let our kids play their little hearts out. This was the first time I was able ot make it to the "official" play group. Tristan slept the entire time until right before we left. I nursed him briefly and he went back to sleep before we came home. He's still asleep now! I think it's because he was awake all morning eating. I don't mind if it means a longer nap! It did make eating breakfast really difficult for me, though. I didn't get to eat until around 10:30, even though we'd been up since 6am. Noah woke up because he had to go potty and just didn't fall back asleep. He should nap really well today. Tris is wearing my favorite outfit. It was my favorite for Noah too :) It's just sooooo cute! Babies wearing pants just kills me every time.

So... the playgroup was great. My friend Jamie showed up with her 2yr old, Sienna and 4mo old Jesse. She also brought some cute outfits for Tristan and size 1 diapers. YAY! Sienna and Noah are "dating", we decided haha. They chased each other around the entire time, pushed each other down, helped each other back up. They were in perpetual motion so I didn't get too many good shots. They're quite a cute couple! All the other kids were around 1yr old or so. Noah was a giant compared to them. They all got along really well and all the moms got along well too. I plan to show up every Wednesday that I can. Afterwards we usually go over to Starbucks for "Mom" time, but I wasn't able to go. Maybe in a few months. It was so nice to get out of the house and Noah was SO happy to finally be allowed to run around and get loud and crazy.

And now it's time for me to snack and nap :)

That's so nice for Noah to be able to ru around with some other kids,even if they are a bit younger!Sienna is too cute!
I love Tristans's little outfit & his wild dark head of hair!!

It's so healthy for you to be getting out like this.I know I feel so much better when I get out of the house & talk to other Mom's ,especially ones in my predicament!!

I really have to make an effort to eat.When I don't my milk suffers noticeably,it's strange.Then I have to play catch up & be a pig.Like today,haha.Some days I really don't get to eat until lunch time,it's so bad for my milk!I usually end up eating breakfast standing up in the kitchen :P...I guess it's all about time management!I'm glad you had a good day :D

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
