This Week

Well pregnancy has not been kind to me this go-round. I already have heartburn and am exhausted all the time. I can't seem to differentiate between nausea and hunger anymore. My back feels like I'm 9 months pregnant. I am really hoping that once I get past the first trimester all this crud will taper off. Oh the joys of pregnancy! I want to feel kicks and plan a (girly) nursery already, but I'm stuck feeling bloaty and sick :P

Regardless, the boys are still quite entertaining :) They play nicely upstairs giving me a chance to lay down and relax while they destroy their rooms. I am perfectly fine with that! Noah's new ultimate favorite toys (and mine) are the hand puppets we got from the one stop at Target. I love these little monsters!


Tristan has been walking so much more lately. He seems to enjoy walking more than crawling now. He will push himself to standing (without support) just so he can waddle around. Before long he'll be out of the stroller, walking beside us :) Here's a video!! It's also on the sidebar :)

Awwwwww...I love the video of Tristan walking. That's how Micah was too, he waiting until AFTER his first birthday and then just took off. Thos puppets are pretty cute, btw.

What a great video of him!! I remember doing this with Ember in this house right after we moved in....great memories!


I hope your symptoms ease up a bit but remember every irritating symptom shows that you are having a healthy pregnancy and that's great!


I love the monsters too. Ember has the pink one. She loves it so much :D

Congratulations, Allie! I hope you start feeling better soon... Here's to a little sister for those handsome boys! And if she's a he, no worries -- you've obviously got the little boy thing down pat.

I got Haley puppets like that in the $ part of Target. She loved them for about a few days haha.

I'm sorry your feeling so crappy! Were you sick with the other two? Maybe it's a sign it's a girl this time? You never know! I hope your feeling better soon. It will pass though pretty soon. I was feeling great by 13 weeks, but lucky me I had no morning sickness.

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
