23 weeks_and growing fast!

Its hard to believe I'm 23 weeks already… I seriously can't believe how these weeks seem to just fly by. With the holidays coming up, I can only imagine how quickly March is going to be here! Exciting… and yet a little scary at the same time! When you are expecting a baby, you always seem to talk in future tense… like "ohh i can't wait until she is here" and "we have time to get the nursery ready"… but really she is going to BE HERE in no time! That "future" time period is getting smaller and smaller! And as each week passes, I get more and more excited to meet her! The nursery is slowly but surely coming along. We haven't actually started putting any of it together yet, but we are accumulating the different pieces/decorations. Brad's mom got in the fabric so she can start making the curtains, bumper pad cover and hanging diaper storage. I have bought all the pieces i need for my "less than $10" lamps. I found the bases at Goodwill, pink lamp shades at Walmart and then my mom picked up cute black/white ribbon to put around the base of the shade. (see the picture) I think they will look adorable when they are done! My parents are almost done refinishing my old dresser to become a dresser/changing table and Brad's parents have the crib at their house. I suppose pretty soon I should actually start clearing out the room that will become Baby K's room… right now it is being used as a christmas present wrapping station!

So as for Baby K, so is growing fast… and moving A LOT! I just went to the doctor on monday, and my growing belly is just the size it should be… her heart beat is strong as ever… and overall we are both in great health! (thank goodness!) Its amazing how much more I feel her kick and move around now than just a couple weeks ago. She is especially active late at night (like 11 or so), early in the morning and the middle of the day. It really is quite amazing to feel it! I keep trying to get brad to feel it… but I swear everytime i have him put his hand on my belly to feel it… so decides to stop moving! Stubborn… just like her daddy! hehe… (J/K babe… love you!)

Little by little we are gaining a wardrobe for our little princess… and if what we have so far is any indication, she will be quite the fashionable little girl! I posted some pics of outfits we have picked up recently… just because they were so darn cute! Enjoy!

Well that about all the news from here… but I will keep you all posted on anything new! Keep smiling and laughing!
