First Night in the Crib!

After last night with Tristan waking up every 2 hours or less, Josh and I got to talking. Tristan is currently in the portable crib in our room, which was definitely not made for long-term sleep arrangements. The mattress is sagging and it looks really uncomfortable. We decided maybe the best solution would be to transfer our little man to his real crib. I put Tris down for his 2nd nap in the big crib. He was looking around at everything and babbled for a bit and then went right to sleep without fussing. He then proceeded to sleep for 3 hours! I put him in the crib tonight also... we'll see how it goes. Right now he's sleeping peacefully and has been for almost 2 hours. I miss those days when he'd sleep for 5+ hours at night. I think that was because he was in his bassinet and it's a lot more sturdy with a firmer mattress. One complaint I do have... I need a nursing chair in his room! I will get one with the tax return. We've got plenty of room for it now :)

Josh and I are going to watch a movie. I'm so glad I waited until the weekend to transition Tristan into his crib so I have some back-up. So far so good!

Looks like we are going through this together! Good luck!

Mark bought me my glider for Christmas last year. It was from the store I use to work at and thanks to my discount we got a huge discount. I am so glad we got it. I hope you'll find a great deal on a good chair too!

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
