Bathtime

I've given the boys quite a few baths together, but this time I felt I could run and get my camera and trust Noah could hold Tristan up. Tris is a lot more solid now. Noah always wants to help wash him and rinse him off. I've said "be careful" so many times that Noah repeats it over and over and over anytime he does anything with Tristan.

Tristan is so hard to get smiling pictures of! He smiles all the time, but then he sees the camera and he immediately goes into curiosity mode. He always ends up looking a bit odd. I figure I'll just keep snapping pics and he'll get used to it soon enough.


Tristan is happiest right after bathtime for about 7 minutes before he gets his jammies on. He starts to anticipate the eventual feeding and sleeping and becomes impatient rather quickly, but for the few minutes he can bear he's a really happy chunky monkey.

What great bath pictures. I know what you mean about it being hard to catch their real smiles! It's tricky once they see your camera! I know Tristan's real smile since you've posed so many cute videos. He is growing & changing so much,I can't believe it!

I am glad you can bathe them together now. I bet they love it! When I bring Ava & Ember up the stairs and we head towarss the bathroom for their evening bath Ember start squealing & laughing & kicking her legs she is so ecited for bath time with her big sister. This is why I lOVE bath time so much. They have so much fun in there together. I never knew it would be so much fun!

I love Noah's smile and Tristan's wild little hair do. What cute little boys :) Tristan has such round pretty eyes!

Oh yeah & Ava ALWAYS says "Be careful Ember,be careful!" all the time too! How funny....must be an older sibling thing!

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
