Baby Haley Meets Grandma and Grandpa Gates!

Grandma and Grandpa Gates arrived on Thursday, Dec 20th and got to spend Haley's first Christmas with her. So far Haley is pretty calm and likes to sleep alot, hopefully that continues! We had a great visit and we can't thank Grandma and Grandpa enough for coming out to visit and for everything they have done. Having good Parents and good Inlaws has made these first couple of weeks the best experience of our lives!










She loves to grab on to fingers

Its pretty tough to get a newborn to open their eyes and look at the camera! This is the best we could do!

I don't think she liked her stocking!

Here's Haley's first stroll around the neighborhood in her new jogging stroller that Christy, Sharon and Becca got us

A happy Granpa

Here's Grandma Ayub right before she left to go back to Knoxville

Grandma and Grandpa Gates were able to see Grandma Ayub for the first time since the wedding in 2004!

Haley Goes Home!

We made it home from the hospital on Thursday of last week (we had to stay 3 nights due to the C-section). We finally got settled in thanks to the help of Amber's parents! Here are some pictures of Haley at home!

Don't worry, Bella's excited, she's just doesn't know it yet!

Here's Grandma!

Grandma gave Haley to Grandpa just long enough to take the picture, then she took her back!

She likes to sleep!

Haley Elizabeth Gates

Haley Elizabeth Gates was born December 10th, 2007 at 10:54 am by means of emergency C-Section. The poor little girl had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck twice! Amber is recovering well and hopes to be back into the swing of things soon. We are very grateful to have the support of such great family and friends! Haley has been doing a lot of sleeping and eating. We are very blessed to have such a beautiful baby!

We will post more pictures when we get them!
