2 Months Old!

How sad that Brennan's 2mos old blog post has no pictures :P Soon enough! Brennan had his 2 month check-up today. He weighs a whopping 11lbs, 11ozs. She was impressed with his head control skills and his beautiful chub haha :) He also got a few vaccines. I passed on the oral rota-virus because it's really not out here. We did have to get a Menengitis C vaccine (not common in the states) for both Bren and Tris today because apparently there's been a bit of an outbreak here in recent years. So that, pneumonia, and the all-in-one (for polio, DTAP and all that other jazz) was what they stuck my tiny Brennan with today. So far they're both doing just fine. I hate shot day!

Tristan didn't even cry or make the tiniest peep for his shot... it was weird! He got it in his shoulder while sitting on Daddy's lap so that probably helped a lot. Being pinned down on top of a piece of wax paper by some stranger in a white coat is never fun. Tristan weighs roughly 25lbs (squirmy child) and is 33" tall! He's going to have a fun fun time next month for his 2yr check-up when he has to get more shots.

The doctors come to us out here. They show up on the "base" once a month for all the normal stuff. everything else you can call for appointments to be made out in the Spanish world. Tomorrow I have my 6wk check-up and IUD placement, which shall be out in the Spanish world. I'm nervous... I'm always nervous for a Dr. appointment though. Should be oodles of fun :/ OK! Our internet is about to run out so adios!!

Hugs and kisses to the little "pin cushions" as well as for the rest of the family! Cool that the docs come to you - that's different. It was great talking to you all last night. Take care and remember we love you!

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
