Week 16 in Review!

How far along? 16 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 8 pounds
Maternity clothes? I’ve been wearing these cami tank tops (not maternity) pretty much every day. Good thing I have duplicates in colors, because I’m pretty sure my husband thinks I’ve been wearing the same outfit, everyday. (Which is slightly true, but I have 3 black, 2 white, etc…so it’s not exactly the same)
Stretch marks? Nope, but speaking of skin… I totally had a spray tan this week, and looked like Snooki the first day, “meatball” and all! Thankfully it toned down in time for our event!
Sleep: Aside from the lack of sleep this week due to all the auction stuff that needed to be done, last minute (which wasn’t entirely my fault!) –sleep has been pretty good. I’m sure exhaustion and falling asleep within seconds of head hitting pillow played into that.
Best moment this week: Our auction/fundraising dinner was a success! Everyone came up to us and said it was “the best one yet!” We raised a ton of money, people had fun, and although I thought it looked “tenty” everyone loved my dress! Here's a quick pic of the two of us!
The Hubs did a fantastic job, as usual, speaking in front of 300+ people, he’s such a natural and like I’m sure I’ve said before, I get so proud and excited seeing him be in his element – proud wife here!
Have you told family and friends: Everyone Knows!! The announcement was made at the fundraiser, and the next day B and I had a little contest to see how many “likes” we could get on Facebook by posting the news. There may be a discrepancy on who wins, but since this is my blog, I get to say what I want, and I won! Percentage wise. Which is more accurate if you ask me. He may have had more actual likes, but the percentage of friends who responded was more in my favor. Thanks friends!
Miss Anything? I think every week I’m going to say tuna and red wine. Sad. Oh, I might also add, I kind of missed being able to wear the amazing dress I bought last year for this year’s auction. I pulled it out of the closet and just stared at how beautiful it was, and how it totally wouldn’t fit. But, now I have a “goal” dress for next year!
Movement: Wrote a little post on it, I think I may be feeling Baby Vick! ….maybe…
Food cravings: Besides every other meal being a BLTA (sometimes BLTAE, E for egg)? Hmm...oh well, I didn’t say anything last week, because I wasn’t sure if it was just a little phase, but Jack in the Box has these delicious fish sandwich combos - $2.99! I may have consumed a few of these in the last few weeks as well, in between my BLTAs. Spicy and cheesy is also still a staple.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, not this week! Woo hoo! …and I even ate all my beef brisket at the auction, and it was delicious, yay for being carnivorous again!
Have you started to show yet: Do zebras have stripes?
Gender prediction: I don’t know! People are telling me they “know” it’s going to be a boy. If I had to say I had a gut feeling, I would say boy, there, I said it! (let’s see if I change my mind…)
Labor Signs: Do zebras have spots?
Belly Button in or out? Button is in but the belly is totally out!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: So glad that my little tirade of moodiness passed. Phew! Normal “goofy, silly, talk to fast” Darci is back!
Looking forward to:Knowing for absolute certain that this feeling I have is actually Baby Vick...or else I might feel crazy for getting so excited about stomach gurgles. :) That and I may start a paper chain to count down the days to find out boy or girl... I can't believe I actually thought I could wait the whole nine months...silly me.
