Red Stripes

I unknowingly dressed all 3 boys in shirts with red stripes yesterday haha. They looked so good with the green grass backdrop, though! I had yet another person tell me Brennan is the happiest baby they've ever seen. He really is! I've never had such an easy, content baby before. Not just content, but happy... he's constantly smiling as big as he possibly can. He locks eye contact with people and gives his big full-body smile and it makes anyone melt. I just love my little Brennan :)







We FINALLY have a concrete date for Bosley's arrival. He will be here on Sunday!! Just in time before Josh leaves for a month. This should be fun. Bosley requires a daily walk and I will have 3 kids and no sidewalk...hmmmm. Good thing I have my off-roading jogging stroller and a baby carrier! I am quite annoyed that Josh will be gone for a month. I'm nervous about it, in fact. I've been spoiled already with having him here every day to help with dinner and bedtime. Those are the craziest times of day. I'll do it alone. I'll be fine. Don't really have a choice in the matter and neither does Josh. I will hopefully be too busy enjoying October to realize how much I miss my baby. I'm in for some cold, lonely nights. Although where he's going it's going to be MUCH colder haha. Poor Josh. Maybe by time he gets back I will be all toned up from my daily wii fit workouts and walks. Goodbye baby belly and other various flabby areas!!

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
