Sorry!

the morgan family certainly has been slacking lately with the blog - sorry! we've been a busy busy family, going out of town, plans every weekend, and getting ready for baby girl to come! i promise to offer a more in depth update of what we've been up to, but for now here are a few short snippets of what kyle, baby girl & i have been up to:

- baby girl has been practicing her karate - a lot! though she doesn't seem to move all day long, she really gets moving in the morning when i first get up and then before bed. it's become more of a constant thing, but i can never get enough of feeling her move around in there! and now she's moving enough so we can see her kicks just looking at my belly

- today, at 23 weeks pregnant, baby weighs as much as a large mango (over a pound!) and is as big as a spaghetti squash!

- kyle & i had a lot of fun celebrating the 4th of july and both of our birthdays - more to come on those later!

- kyle is off at a bachelor party this weekend, while the "girls" are at home getting ready for a wedding next weekend. i'm helping my good friend colleen with all the paper goods for her wedding and am also standing up with her at the wedding. baby girl especially can't wait to be a bridesmaid! (and, even though i ordered the bridesmaid dress back in the spring and guessed on the size, it actually fits pretty well & only have to get the straps altered!)

- we went on our first registering adventure at BuyBuyBaby. and was it an adventure.... who know there was SO MUCH stuff in one store that your baby "needs." it was a lot of fun though a bit overwhelming. soon we'll have to do round 2 because we couldn't make it through all in one trip!

- we've also been on the hunt for some fun pieces for the nursery - like a older dresser to refinish (kyle likes to call it "shabby chic"), a new crib, and a rocker/glider (i've got pottery barn taste but have been scouring craigslist & rummage sales for deals!) also, i would love to sew a lot of things for the nursery, so we've been hunting for the perfect fabric and colors. it's a lot all at once, but i'm so so excited to get baby girl's room set up!

so that's it for now - a quick little update. look for more to come soon!! baby girl says hi & she loves all of you :)
