Relief

Karrie took the boys before I went to my appointment so I could get an hour nap in since I hadn't slept the night before. She also did my hair and makeup for me before we left for the airport and tidied up my house after I left. I just love her! Jennifer met me at the salon to provide moral support and ended up taking me shopping. She bought me this adorable sweater from the Gap. Thanks Jennifer! :D What am I going to do without my girls! I LOVE my new haircut... love love love. I will get a better picture of it later.

I'm mad at myself now for not having someone take a pic of all of us together at the airport, but I was kinda out of it. My face was as red as the stripes on my shirt. I saw his face and I was just instantly at ease with the world.

Tristan slept for 7 and a half hours straight last night! I really do believe that babies have a connection with their moms, they feel however Mommy feels. So all that stress rubbed off on him and then all that relief did as well. He's been super happy and relaxed all day.

Noah can't stop hugging and kissing us. He loves seeing us together and he just keeps saying "I love you" to us. We're finally truly relaxed and enjoying each others' company. I'm thinking of new names for my blog. More later... I'm gonna get back to my babies :)

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
