My Little Josh Clones

I posted this one on Myspace, but I forgot to post it here. I'm not as skinny as I look I swear. I am sucking it in and I hadn't eaten yet. After I eat I look about 3 months pregnant ;) But, yes... I am proud of how I bounced back and I appreciate the compliments people left me on Myspace.

Noah and I found this cool bug. No idea what it is... maybe a cicada? He keps calling it a grasshopper and I would say "yeah it does kind of look like a grasshopper, but I think it's something else". I hate when I don't know the actual name of something. I love being Mommy-knows-all with my kids. I guess eventually I won't be, but until that time comes I want them to think I am a genius hahhaha. I think that's reasonable ;)

Here's a picture of Tristan sitting up. I believe he stayed that way for a whole second! Just enough time for me to snap a picture. He looks like a disgruntled old man hehehe. I just love those big fat baby jowls.

Noah got more dinosaurs and couldn't be happier. He bathes with them, takes them outside, makes them fly around the house, sleeps with them. Thanks Pam, Glenn, Eric & Haleigh! I also got a cute little Pooh outfit for Tristan from them. I love my family :)

Noah decided his trike was broken and needed fixed. His version of fixing something is just to stick all kinds of scraps of whatever into it and bang around. He was telling me all about how everything was broken and he had to fix it. He's been fixing everything else in the house too.


Look at these precious little baby paws!! I want him to be tiny for much longer than is reasonable :)

Heh... you said, "broken and needed fixed." I usually only hear that phrasing from people who grew up in Pittsburgh. Was your part of Ohio close enough to get some of that too?

Also, your little Josh Clones are adorable. =)

Eric- why yes I did! In fact, my brother lives there now. It's about 45 minutes away from where I grew up. My Dad was actually from Pennsyltucky. ;)

Yep people in Pittsburgh did use to say that!My manager use to say "Y'ins" all the time too.Meaning you guys...I think,haha.

It's funny how Noah likes to fix things.Ava will say "Oh no I ripped it"...or "Oh no,it boken"(broken)
She is more into helping me though then fixing things.She feels the need to help me do everything.It's cute really.I will be brushing my hair & she has to stand next to me & brush her hair too.I am always one step ahead and have a second brush on hand.It's funny how boys and girls are drawn to liking certain things like that.

I absolutely love that picture of Tristan.It gives you an idea of how he'll look once he's a bit older.They just change so much.I think once they start sitting up they look so different!I do think they both look so much like Josh!He must love that...and I'm sure it's nice for you to see him in them everyday :)

You look great in that 1st picture!You did bounce back quickly!For all of us other women it takes at least 6 months!!After having Ember it took me the exact same amount of time to lose my weight...it's funny to me how similar everything was with both of them & with me...if that made any sense.
I love your bug picture...I don't think I've ever seen one of those!

Darn you do look skinny! I sawt he picture and I was like UG! I hate her!!! haha. I'm sure you look great. You do seem to bounce back very easily. That is wonderful. It took me over a year to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. It's hard when you never had to diet and stuff before..

I love Noah's imagination. It's shows in these pictures you post. He seems like such a happy little boy. Tristian is so cute. I that is so fun he was sitting up like that. I love the last one with his hands. Babies are so precious. Have you done a mold with his hands and Noah's hands? That would be really cute to show that difference when he was first born.

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
