Passionately Following Jesus
Here are some pictures from my sisters camera. It shows a pretty good picture of the hospital party that took place after Hailey’s birth. If you are familiar with gypsies, then you will know when one of them have a baby, the whole village floods the hospital…I don’t think we are any better. It feels good to be loved though 🙂

For some reason I cannot embed the slidshow into my blog.

In case the link above does not work:
Well, I have been humbled! I give Hailey one post on my blog and she steals the show. I had my biggest blog day yesterday, ever, thanks to Miss Hailey and over half of the hits were direct (unique) hits to her post. A few hours old and she’s already a Blogstar – Maybe if Nicki will have a few more babies I can get some regular readers 🙂 – Sorry that’s going to take a miracle! (The babies and the regular readers)
Here are some additional pictures of Hailey. We have taken more than 14 pictures of course, but do to space and time to upload them, this is all I am posting at one time until we can set up a slide show or something. (Click on the Thumbnail to Enlarge)
I know, I know, you saw the picture of me in the doctor outfit and thought, “George Clooney Who?” Its ok, I thought the same thing 🙂 – By the way for those who may have missed my update yesterday, Hailey was born at 12:45 pm on Tuesday and weighed 7.0 pounds and was 20 inches tall.
We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and all of the congratulations. I cannot tell you all individually, but I hope you know it is greatly appreciated!

Here are a few pictures of Haileys first minutes into her new world.
Updated: She was born at 12:45 pm, weighing 7 pounds even and 20 inches in length. Other than being tired, Nicki is doing great…glad its over with!
Thank you all for your congratulations and your prayers! They are all greatly appreciated 🙂

It may not be evident in the photos, but Hailey’s got some pretty plump lips…she is going to make some guy’s cry…ha ha! I told my wife they better turn out to be like Angelina Jolie lips versus Bubba Gump lips.
I’ve already shot one doctor for looking at her wrong while she was naked, the cops are looking for me, so I have to hang low for a while, pervert 🙂
I apologize in advance if I do not respond to your emails, comments, and tweets quickly. There is no WiFi at the hospital and I have to run to Panera to have internet access.

Well, today is the day that we have been waiting on for the last 8 months (since we found out Nicki was pregnant); and the day we’ve been waiting on for almost 6 years. Our first two children were boys, Gavin and Tristan, who we love dearly, but Nicki has been wanting a little girl for just as long…so today is the day!
The hospital we will be at does not have WiFi as far as I know, so as soon as mom and baby are ok and taking their post-surgery naps I will run down the street to Panera to upload some pictures. Sorry folks, I’m poor and do not have one of those fancy iPhones that enable me to streamline my life 🙂 – So thank you all in advance for your prayers, thoughts, and support – Pictures coming soon!
The Final Countdown has started. In approximately 24 hours
Hailey Elizabeth Carnes will arrive!
Nicki is scheduled to be at the hospital at 10:00 am tomorrow and the surgery is scheduled at 12:30 pm, so Hailey should be here around 1:00 pm (weird time for a c-section). We would appreciate your prayers for a safe delivery and for a healthy baby and mom. (Of course you can add that she is beautiful as well…and smart…and whole (meaning she has all of her normal body parts and functions) if you want) 🙂
Nicki and I are going to celebrate one last evening without a crying, poopy baby with dinner and most likely Batman the Dark Knight (if we can get a ticket) since the boys will be with their MeMaw.
