Pictures!

Noah's huge room all done

Noah dressed up and said he was going to work. I think he was an exterminator because he was looking for bugs everywhere.

We thought a craft would keep Noah busy so we made him a robot costume. He didn't want to decorate it, he just wanted to follow us around and say "I Wobot, Mami! I wobot Daddy!"

Josh standing in front of the house. We're the middle apt in the multiplex.

Pretty Georgia sunset :) I'm glad I still get to be treated to spectacular sunsets!

the living room is done! we need a bigger TV haha

I think Josh is happy ;)

this is how boys do a tea party

my gorgeous kitchen before we unpacked... it's still gorgeous I just haven't taken another pic yet

note the grande boots Noah is wearing. For the first few days when Josh would go off to work Noah had meltdowns, thinking he wasn't coming back. He's OK now, though. It broke Josh's heart to leave while Noah was crying for him.

Heidi & I both agree that Noah's room looks really fun! I reminded her that you grew up with your Mom who has a daycare. She must have had lots of fun toys & activities around the house. You learned from someone with ots of experience! I bet he is excited to have his room all set up!

Allie, I love your new house. It looks so nice!! Did you buy it or is it base housing or renting? I'm so jealous. The kitchen is defintely awesome. I do agree with your tv situation haha. I bet Noah is so excited to have his Daddy home. It's probably natural for him to cry but I'm so glad he's doing better. I bet it's an adjustment for Josh to. I'm happy for you guys. I can't believe little Tristan is eating sweet potatoes!!! I should of done that with Haley, b/c she doesn't try anything. I will defintely remember that if we have another one.

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
