Total weight gain/loss: +2 lbs so I'm up a total of 4 lbs since finding out we're expecting!  Still hoping for the slow and steady weight gain.

Maternity clothes? almost all now!
Sleep: has been so so this week.  Nataleigh has had a rough week but hopefully it will be better this next week!
Best moment this week: Finding out the sex of Baby Buchinger!
Movement: Feeling the little one move more and more....loving the feeling of it too!  I notice the all the time now and that the baby likes to kick my left rib area!
Food cravings: Love salt still!  I am starting to get an appetite! I had some pickles the other night and boy oh boy were they good!  I ate half the jar..I couldn't resist....

How are you feeling? pretty good.  I'm happy and excited about this pregnancy.  I have okay energy levels when I get a nap and when I sleep well at night.
What I am looking forward to: Telling my in-laws the sex of Baby Buchinger.  I am doing it a surprise way because I want to do it in person for one and the other reason is I don't like to just announce it...I want to get it on camera too!
What I miss: Not a whole lot....  Life is pretty good.
Weekly Wisdom:
Live intentionally for God everyday.  I still struggle with this one from time to time but He must be my priority in life!
Milestones: I probably sound like a broken record but finding out the sex of our newest addition.

I will have a picture later on...sorry for now new belly updates!
