The Carpenter Family

Justin and I moved to Nevada in August 2005. We love it here. However we miss our family and friends back home. Our church here is great! We have been married for 7 years. We have one Daughter, Isabella who was born Oct 19 2006 and a son Caleb due in Feb of 2009! This blog is for our Family and Friends to catch up on how we are doing. What a great invention!

    AAAUGH! To look like this again! Mary is closer than I am but someday we will fit into our cute jeans again and wear Tshirts that are cute and don't have extra fabric! Belts! Altough Reno isn't best known for it's sense of Fashion, it will be nice to shop for close that are not maternity! This is picture is from Nov when Mary and I went to Las Vegas to see Celine Dion at Caesars. So just before we both got pregnant! Well I only have about 3 weeks and 2 days until I am actually due. I have a doctor's apt this afternoon to tell me hopefully maybe a little "good" news! Justin is now anxious for her to be here. It has slowly grown with each of our friends having their babies and now that Kurt and Mary have had Judah, he is wanting her to come this week! I think she can come as of the 10th if she wants to but not any sooner. We got her basinett set up and it's just waiting in our room for a little one to sleep in it. I have not decided yet if I want to open myself up to a poll of when she will come. It might be depressing! Plus if Jessica or Melissa isn't right they might have to pray against me having her, just so the can "win"! :) I am not sure if the two most competitive people, other than my husband, should be friends, the world might kick them out! :) or they might destroy it! That would be a fun Celebrety death match, you know they kind on MTV where celebreties beat each other with weird random objects until someone's headless body falls to the ground! Is that too graphic! :) I will post more as the weeks SLOWLY go by :)

    My Growing belly! 34.5 weeks!

    More shower pictures



    Well here are some more shower's pictures. I have some pictures of her room now that it is done. I have to hang some letters though above her crib and get curtains for her window though. I also want a picture of just a butterfly that will match her crib bedding but have had no luck! I might just have to be creative and do it myself!
    Here is also a picture of our friend Laura's new baby, Kaitlyn. She is now almost 4 weeks old.

    Baby Shower




    Well I had yet another baby shower this weekend! It was great! My friend Laura Smith and her mom put it on. It was very sweet of them. We played a really funny game there that I hadn't played before! I have a few pictures that turned out that I liked. Pregnancy and a camera don't always agree, so pardon me for being a little vain!:) I got some more things that I really needed and am on my way! Thanks to all who came and helped out. Laura's mom had a luncheon with make your own tostada's and Tiramasu cake! She handmade the invites, thank you cards, and all the game and nametags! I don't know she does it! She is so creative and crafty! She also made Bella a Purple "dot" blanket. The kind that are velvety soft but have those little raised dots all over them. Justin wants her to make him one! I also have a picture of our friend Laura's baby at the hospital. She had her baby, Kaitlyn, on the 20th. She is very cute! Our other friend Rebeccah had her baby, Audrey, on the 21st. Her baby though is still in the NNICU for a few more weeks. She was born at 34 weeks. But she is doing great! Mary is next! I think this week(early)!
