Pumpkin Carving

Last night, Brant and I met up with our friends Tyson & Jessica for a fun night of carving pumpkins. We ate pizza, listened to Halloween music (it was weird and I didn't like it), and carved the night away. I'm so grateful for great friends we can do fun stuff with!!

Working hard!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Carpenter Family blog!

First line of business... our big news! 
Brant and I are having a BABY!!! 
I know! It's totally one hundred percent crazy! OK...maybe not 100%. More like 75%. But still. It's crazy.

Right now I'm 11 weeks pregnant - only 2 more weeks of "morning" sickness (hopefully!). Honestly, I can't complain too much. It hasn't been too bad in all reality. I feel nauseous on and off pretty much every day. But I haven't thrown up (which, in my opinion in the worst thing that could happen to a person) and I've only missed one day of work because I couldn't get my head off my pillow in the morning.

My belly is growing every day I swear! For instance, on Monday (I think) I wore this pair of jeans that was a size big for me before being pregnant, but fit me perfectly 10 weeks in. Today...I'm wearing the same pair of jeans (don't judge...they are the only ones that fit). Except that I couldn't really button them up all the way. I used a hair elastic around the button!!! That's only 4 days! Granted, I could have squeezed into them if I wanted to, but who wants to be uncomfortable? Especially since my tummy already hurts.

But enough of the boring crap... want to see a picture of our little monster inside me? Yeah...I thought so. Bear in mind that this picture was taken two weeks ago when I was barely 9 weeks pregnant so the baby is kind of just a blob. But still...my baby's first picture!
And here is an embarrassing picture of my ever growing belly. Granted...I think part of the bulge is due to my fatness, but now that I'm pregnant I can blame it ALL on that, right? RIGHT?!?!

Anyway...I hope that you will join us for our little life adventures. I'm sure we're going to be having PLENTY with a new little one coming in April!
