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!

Conversation with a 5 Year Old.

This was the conversation that was being yelled across a couple of rooms between Nicki and Gavin (our 5 year old) this morning…

Gavin: “Mommy!”
Nicki: “What?”

Gavin: “It feels like Tristan has a baby in his tummy!”
Nicki: “What?”

Gavin: “It feels like Tristan has a baby in his tummy!!!”
Nicki:
“That’s just Gas!”

Gavin: “Oh!”

:mrgreen:

A friend was telling me they had a conversation with a guy where they asked, “Why would someone want to bring a child into this evil world?” – My response when I heard the question was…”With the world as evil as it is, children are the pure ones (not meaning without sin), they are the innocent ones. Their motives are pure.”

With Nicki being pregnant, Gavin understands that she has a baby living in her…so it was normal and natural as he and Tristan were playing/wrestling to relate Tristan’s tummy rumblings to be nothing more than a baby! It was a great moment!
