Re: ~~Mommy & M2B Monday~~
Best part of your week? He is just so much fun and we're starting to see more and more of his personality coming out. Love it!
Worst part of your week? He was...um...clogged up for several days. Needless to say, the prunes we gave him yesterday worked VERY well.
Milestones? He had his first real food besides cereal yesterday. We were going to wait until 6 months, but gave him some prunes to hopefully clean him out. He wasn't a fan of them on their own, but mixed with his cereal was fine. I also gave him his first hair cut over the weekend. The comb-over on top was just getting ridiculous.

How are you feeling? I am feeling much much better than 1st trimester. I still get massive head aches, whether I drink 5000 ounces of water or not. I plan on asking my OB about this on Friday bc they are about every other day.
What are you craving? I'm really into cheesy things right now, mac n cheese, pizza, ravioli, etc. Not a huge snack craver but cheese doodles can change that in a heart beat.
What is grossing you out? Chinese food still, DH is so upset about this haha. That is his favorite dinner night and I cannot eat anything.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought 3 onesies the other day even though they are mainly boy onesies. I just needed one for our reveal pic and they were the only set that had a gender neutral onesie in the set.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Friday is my check up and 24 days until we find out boy or girl!!
Have you / will you found out the sex?

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 13.5 months
Best part of your week? Seeing A and DH together. They are so adorable and DH is an even better dad than I ever imagined he would be.
Worst part of your week? Tied between missing bedtime 4 of 7 nights because of working and A basically signing "milk" anytime she sees me and her not being very interested in me unless I'm nursing her. It's making me dread weaning her in a few months. I hope that this is just a short phase.
Milestones? She climbed the stairs all the way to the top -- after only being on the stairs maybe once or twice before. Crazy kid!

Worst part of your week? Yesterday, he pooped all over himself, the boppy, and me.
Milestones? He seems like he is wanting to sit up now. Whenever we lay him down in the rock and play or his swing, he will lift his head and shoulders up to look around like he's trying to sit up.
PIP those kiddos! Here's a pic of him trying to sit up in his boppy and in his batman outfit!

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussBest part of the week: My mom coming to stay with us for a week!
Worst part of the week: When Fiona was waking up every hour the other night. That was so hard.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Dude this weekend was BAD for forgetting the most random things... like my zip code when I was getting gas. I actually ended up having to drive to a different station for gas because I entered it wrong to many times and I was too embarrassed to walk inside and explain to the clerk why I couldn't remember my zip code.
@Sewilson33 thank you! I was talked in to wearing that dress for the theme! Ha

Worst part of your week? She had some fussy/hungry days that I thought was a growth spurt, but it wasn't that bad and didn't even last two full days... who knows! Oh, and the IL's were in town all week so that threw off the routine, but it wasn't horrible. Everyone behaved

Best part of your week? Going to a pumpkin patch for one of Lexi's friends who had a party. It was really fun.
Worst part of your week? It's not the worst thing ever but Lexi went back to daycare yesterday so the house felt empty. Even the dog was depressed she wasn't there. Eliana also only gained 2 oz since she was discharged from the hospital. The doctor was going to have me supplement to help but when he saw how upset I was, we talked to a lc to give me pointers on getting her to feed more. She's a great baby who misses her own feeding cues.
Milestones? Eliana has been waking up more during the day which is nice.
