A little present is on the way!

My Grandparents Love Me to PIECES!!!


Isabelle is by far this most exciting thing that has happened to us in quite some time and possibly the most exciting that has ever happened to us for her grandparents! Isabelle has been a popular commodity and no one could have gotten here faster to see her. In her first four weeks of life she has met all of her grandparents and 2 of her GREAT grandparents! My mother, Jane, was here for her birth, then Andrew's mother, Janette, came two days later to meet her. My dad, Kevin and Stepmother, Karen, were here at two weeks and Andrew's dad, Eric, and mom, Janette were here at 3 weeks! Lucky girl! Here are some of the photos from their visits!!!
She cannot wait to meet everyone, but she knows that she is dearly loved by all! We will make sure to introduce you to her shortly! Love you all!

Words Cannot describe how much we LOVE our little Baby Bella!


She's absolutely PERFECT!!!

What Isabelle's Been Up to....



Being Our Baby Bright Eyes
Isabelle's eyes are gray-blue right now, but I'm betting they'll be deep brown

Isabelle can only deal with really warm baths and only if she is in it....

Playing in Her Swing

Tummy Time

On ANOTHER NOTE, I've run our of ideas on what to do with Isabelle, so if anyone has any ideas, PLEASE feel free to share. I'm pretty sure this is about all we do for a little while, but for some reason I'm not sure I could do much more! We're loving her to death and getting to know one another very well! We cannot wait to share more of our dolly with everyone! Love you all, A,K&I

1 Week Old



Our beautiful little girl who likes to remain asleep for all photos turned 1 week old! She is absolutely perfect and is beginning to fit into our lives. She has her daddy's dimple and is so much fun to watch!

Our Young Family!!!

Nana Jane who was able to be with us for Isabelle's delivery and first week & a half! Love you mom! Thank you!

Isabelle Jane Carnahan




Andrew and I were blessed with a beautiful baby girl on November 4th, 2009! The day before my own birthday (smart girl)...and we couldn't have been happier! My labor was fairly short and we had to get it started off with a little help, but Isabelle came quickly afterward. Our Baby Bella weighted 7lbs 13oz and measured 20 inches long. She has very long feet and fingers with a full head of dark brown hair?!?! She is a wonderful baby and we feel so blessed to have her in our life! Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I will keep you updated! Love, Andrew, Kat & Isabelle

39 Weeks



Okay, so seriously this is no longer funny...I would like to be unpregnant please! Thank you! Some days are better than others I'd like to report, but mostly I feel like there is no more space for the baby to continue his/her activities. I'll keep you all updated, but I'm pretty sure I have at least a week to go. Dang! Love you all, Kat & Andrew (he is putting up with all my whining)

Check it out, I'm giving birth to a bowling ball!!

Busy Little Bee

So I am constantly asked what I do to keep busy...so here it goes. I like to play Martha Stuart from time to time as well as an exhausted pregnant wife. When I am not completely worn out for no particular reason, I work on one of the many projects I invent for myself. Here are a few pictures of my endeavors. Feel free to make fun, but I like doing this kind of thing. Besides, everyone talks about this "nesting" phase of pregnancy. I'd like to report the only behavior I have developed is "resting"...so instead of cleaning the house, I have projects...which is much more fun (cause then I'd be posting pictures of a clean home, BORING)! Enjoy, Kat

Finally, BABY ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

Enjoying Each Other...


Andrew and I have had a wonderful time being together for the past two months and we really would NOT change any of it! We LOVE LOVE LOVE our new home and are so pleased to be painting every single room as well as decorating (to some degree). We've spent time doing yard work, taking walks, playing with the dogs and going on dates. We have found a wonderful new church with amazing community involvement and had met all of our neighbors. Everyone is really wonderful and we are so excited about whatever the future has in store for us! We would love to thank you all for your love and support over the past months. We are so happy right now and are so excited to have a little one join the family. We have a crazy life, but we always enjoy one another! Love you all! Andrew & Kat
