Hailey Elizabeth Carnes

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.

Hailey arrives today

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

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.

My Sexy Wife is the Best

In 2 weeks Nicki will give birth to our 3rd (and final) child (barring a miracle), Hailey Elizabeth “Stallone” Carnes. For those who know me, you understand the Stallone. Anyway, this post is dedicated to my smokin’ hot wife, who I am blessed to be with.

She not only is fully pregnant and deals with two wild and crazy boys at home, but she also runs a business from home making purses and totes (Pursenickity), on top of keeping the house clean, having dinner ready when I get home from the office or the gym, laundry, the household accounting (she used to do that professionally), and so much more that I could list but you would not have time to read. I think you get my point. She is awesome and hot!

The Tale of the 4 Cupcakes

There once was 4 cupcakes in a box and a little boy named Tristan.
When Mommy and Daddy turned their head.
The Cupcakes Disappeared…Hmmm! I wonder where they went?

When I was in 2nd grade, my dad was in the living room and we had some bottle rockets in the kitchen pantry, so I climbed in a chair, pulled one down, lit it and it shot through the house and popped!

Knowing that the sound of the bottle rocket had alerted the whole house, I quickly went to cover up my actions, so I did what every 2nd grader would do, I hid the smoking bottle rocket in the trash can, of course my dad had to be a smart aleck and ask me what happened, to which I replied in a similar smart alecky way, “I don’t know!?” (With a shrugging of the shoulders) – too bad that darned bottle rocket was smoking I may have gotten away with it.
