Bellies and Bathtime

OK so here's my 17wk belly picture. I noticed this time I bought a lot of pink and girly clothes. With Tristan I bought a lot of blues and greens. Not on purpose! I didn't notice until I got home. I just wanted pink, and I normally HATE pink. People who know me well know how much I usually despise pink. I'm wearing 2 shirts because I was heading out to see Josh play soccer and it was cold out.

Here are my boys during bathtime. I took a video, which I will not post online for all the world to see... cuz they're naked. But, I'll describe the cuteness :) Tristan will copy everything Noah does in the tub. Their favorite thing to do right now is kick their feet to splash around and make waves.

Awww, look at your belly! You look great and once again extremely in shape for a pregnant lady!

I love the last picture of Josh holding Tristan, so cute! I am sure they have lots of fun at bath time. I always end up soaked after bath time, but that means they had lots of fun! :) I can't believe you are almost 1/2 way done with your pregnancy already! I bet you are buying pink because you are sensing girl vibes from your belly! :D

Are you hiding a volleyball. You look great. I love checking out your blog. The pictures are great. I'm trying to decide if I should put up decorations or not. I think I have the Pre-CHristmas blaas. I need a couple of rug rats running around to get me in the mood.

Very cute! I like the preggie pics. I think its a girl, she is much lower than noah, that is for sure. I remember he was pretty high up. Can't say I really know with Tristan. So what will you name her? Amalia is a nice name. ;)~

The pics of the boys in the bathtub are GREAT! They are so much like ones I took of the Josh & Logan at that age.

After getting caught up reading your blog notes, I want to make sure you know how much we appreciate you making the trip to Kansas for Christmas. I know this time of year can be stressful - but PLEASE do not fret about gifts. IT'S ALL ABOUT SPENDING TIME WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE... AND WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Let me know what I can do to make this time easier for you!

Hugs and more hugs to you all.

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
