Family Time

Yesterday Noah and I had fruit salad again for a snack and Tristan was extremely interested (as he is during all our meals). I got out the little mesh thing we had for Noah, threw a banana slice, half a grape, and half a strawberry inside and let him go to town. He thoroughly enjoyed it. He successfully managed to suck half the banana piece out and made some serious damage to the grape and strawberry. I think next time I won't put a strawberry in it because of the seeds. Not that he'll choke or anything, but I think they angered him a few times. I really think he's starting to get some teeth, but I don't see them yet. He's drooling like crazy and gnawing on everything he can get his hands on. I'm betting very very soon we'll see the tell-tale "gum bubbles".

Today was perfect weather. I loaded Tristan into the carrier, grabbed Noah's trike, and headed down the road. We walked a very long time. We were gone for at least an hour. Of course I also stopped in the WIC office we just so happened to pass (what a happy accident). We hit up the playground on the way back too. I let Tristan go down the slide with Noah and myself a few times. It's nice to have a playground slide that my butt actually fits on! By time we got home Josh was just pulling in so we all played outside together for a couple hours :)

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
