Just like Dad? Or Just like Mom?

After a haircutting error earlier this week, Grammy had no choice but to buzz it all off.  She felt terrible about it but PQ graciously told her it was just a mistake.  (I love hearing these types of stories...they warm my heart...my little man is maturing, that's for sure.)

 

Anyways, I digress.  When I saw PQ's new cut, I immediately thought of Papa H.  Afterall, they both have the same buzzed look (although Papa H chooses to cut his hair that way).  I decided to take some pictures and let y'all give some input on WHO he really looks like.  Ever since PQ was born, people either thought he looked JUST LIKE ME or thought he looked JUST LIKE PAPA H.  This new haircut really shows his facial features and I have to admit, I'm torn.  I've always thought he looked just like me (or my family-Uncle L or Grampa) but this new cut really has me flip-flopping to the other side.  What do you think?

 

 

Just like Dad?

 

 

 

Or Just like Mom? 

 

 

I think there is proof in the pudding...he's a nice mix of both!  xoxoxo

A Sleepover in PQ's Room

Look who got to sleep over in PQ's room last night!  Sugar thought she was a BIG DEAL getting to bring her mattress into her BIG BROTHER'S room last night.  After pooping on the potty, Sugar was given the option to camp out in PQ's room (per his request) for the night.  And she JUMPED at the opportunity!

When it was time for bed, Sugar went straight to sleep.  I went in to check on them around 3am and I was SHOCKED to see Sugar missing from her bed.  I checked PQ's bed to see if she crawled into bed with him but she wasn't there either.  After looking more closely, I realized that Sugar had crawled UNDER PQ's bed and was fast asleep on the floor (laying on her tummy) directly under his bed.  I woke her up but she insisted on staying under the bed where she was.  OF COURSE!  I pulled her towards me and placed her back on her mattress for the remainder of the night.  And she slept like a rockstar from there on out.  WAHOOO!

I sense this becoming a trend.  These two love each other more than I can even describe.  She LOVES being with her big brother and he ABSOLUTELY ADORES her too!  It warms my heart for sure!  xoxoxo

WANTED: More Strawberry Milk

After having dinner at the Mouse House earlier this week (click HERE to see some pictures), I would like to personally thank Papa Mouse for talking about strawberry milk in my presence.  Because ever since I left their house, I can't stop thinking about fresh strawberry milk from the local farm!  I've managed to drink 2 quarts ALL.BY.MYSELF in the past 2 days!  I bought 2 quarts thinking that my family could enjoy it with me, but apparently it's too sweet for their liking.  I tried adding milk ot PQ's glass but he didn't really love it (I was secretly psyched to have it all to myself). 

 

So what is a girl to do?  Sneak cup fulls every few hours when nobody is looking, of course...uuhh...all for the love of strawberry milk!

 

H Baby Gender Reveal

20 Week Pregnancy Survey

Wow. I can't believe we are half way there! Only 1 more day to guess whether baby H is a boy or a girl.  Our ultrasound is scheduled for 12:45 tomorrow afternoon.  

How Far Along: 20 weeks

Size of baby: Approximately the size of a banana.  Fun!

Total Weight Gain: 11 pounds...but tomorrows appointment will give us an up to date figure

What I miss: Cute clothes

Sleep: I still try and sleep on my side but I am on my back for the majority of the night.

Symptoms: Big belly

Cravings: Salty foods...olives, processed nacho cheese (don't judge me), and rotisserie chicken.  Sweets include coffee ice cream (still) or anything with chocolate and peanut butter (ask Papa H about the nutter butters...yikes...not my best moment...haha)

Aversions: I think my egg aversion is going away.  I have had eggs on a few occasions recently and it was fine...still havent tried to make PQ an omelette since the first episode but egg and cheese sandwiches on English muffins seem to be okay.

Movement: Yes indeed... I feel like it's a bit lower than I remember with PQ...but all is well...our little munchkin loves to bust a move right before I go to bed at night.  PQ was the same exact way!

Maternity Clothes: Yes...and I need a few more long sleeve shirts for the upcoming cold months.

Best Moments this week: Hearing PQ guess whether he is going to have a brother or possibly another sister.

What I'm looking forward to: Being reassured tomorrow...

Stay tuned...
