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.

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!

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.
8 days…and Hailey Elizabeth (Stallone) Carnes will be here. The surgery date was moved up from Thursday, July 24th to Tuesday, July 22nd, which I know Nicki is excited about. Thank you for any and all prayers that everything will go smoothly. My prayer for 9 months has been that Hailey will be born completely healthy and completely whole, and that she would be smart and beautiful…selfish I know! 🙂
