Today we got together to take a little photo of us all together, Madelyn was pretty dramatic and kept saying hi to the camera and also pointing at Adriauna saying baby, baby! We are have a good time together.
The Carpenter Family!!
We welcome Adriauna Marie Carpenter
Adriauna Marie Carpenter was born on December 15 2009 at 12:29pm in the afternoon! She was 6lbs and 10oz and 18.5inches long! We are so happy that God has blessed our family with another child! Thanks for your prayers and support!!
A Baby to come!!
Well we are in the hospital and have been here since 6am and we are playing the waiting game for Baby #2 to enter the world. Christin is sleeping and I am just being quiet and patient! that is our update for now we will let you know when things progress! Until then just continue to pray that things go well and we have a smooth delivery. Just kidding getting ready to Go now just found out that were going and on we go
Just 7 Days "my thoughts"
Well it's just 7 days and now close to only 6 days until baby girl Carpenter # 2 will enter the world. I am excited, scarred, and a lot of mixed emotions at this point. I wonder and have wondered how do you love not only 1 child but 2 the same way?? So here I am 7 almost 6 days away from being a dad for the second time and wondering how am I going to do this! I don't remember these feelings with Madelyn but it is weird. So I have thought a little to myself, and this is what I have come up with, God help me to love you more that I love my children and the love that I have for You will pour out into my kids lives. God help me to love my wife more and more every day she deserves it. God be with us when we both enter the hospital to bring this little miracle into the world and keep us safe! Help this miracle to be healthy and for things to run smooth.
We would appreciate your prayers and stay tuned for pics and the name!! Sorry it's a surprise!
Much Love
Derek
Late Birthday Wishes and Such
Derek's birthday was last Friday. He is now 28!! He's an amazing husband and father! I know God couldn't have given Madelyn and I a better guy! He's been absolutely wonderful during this pregancy - even with the mono escapade. He's done 90% of the housework and taken care of Madelyn. Derek - I love you so much!
So for his birthday, he wanted to go out shopping, so we did - on BLACK FRIDAY. We left the house about 9:15am and didn't get back until 4:45pm. It was a long day, but we got most of our Christmas shopping done. She's so social. We were eating lunch at Panera Bread and just about the only table left was by the front door and the windows. She was so occupied by looking out the window and waving to them and saying "hi". It was hilarious! She did eat some of her lunch after some persuasion.
Thursday was spent at my Grandma/pa Kline's house. Food, food, food. My parents, sister and Derek and I gave my little cousin his belated birthday present - a green "Oliver" tractor. His name is Oliver. He loved it. Later we saw on Facebook that he took it to bed with him that night. So cute! Madelyn loved playing with her older cousins and my sister let her help "wash dishes". Madelyn played in the water and then threw a fit when Whitney took her away from the sink.
Friday morning, as I mentioned before, was spent in Fort Wayne shopping. Then Friday night we were off to the Clark side for Thanksgiving - pizza. We knew we would all be "turkey-ed out" so we opted for the non-traditional feast. Madelyn was so tired from all the shopping she fell asleep on the way there and then stayed asleep for a while after we got there. But she sure did stay up late! While eating dinner, Derek's temp crown fell out so he called his dentist and they made an appt. for 8am Saturday morning. Reminder: his dentist is still in Marion. Late night - early morning for Derek.
Saturday, Derek headed out for the dentist and I was able to sleep for a little longer until Madelyn woke up. We bummed around the house til Derek got home then started in on the next Thanksgiving feast. We has some friends over to the house for turkey; Derek wanted to make his own turkey. So we ate an early supper and then played a game and the guys played Derek's new Wii Football game he got with birthday money.
Yesterday, we had a dr. appt. for the baby. I'm 2 cm. dialated and 50% efaced! Woohoo! Work is worried that I'll go before the induction date and leave them stranded. The other secretary is off sick for a couple weeks. We'll see what God has in mind. We go in to the hospital at 6am on Dec. 15th, unless the little one decides to come sooner. Derek's parents are coming down to stay with Madelyn at the house while we are in the hospital and my mom is taking off a few weeks to help. Should be a couple busy weeks with the little one coming and with Christmas.
Anyways, I know I blabbered. I usually do. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and have a great weekend!
