She's Here and Halloween!

Ryder was a cute little giraffe for Halloween. I got this from pottery barn. He loved it

Our cute little princess!

Rawlee's costume. I made her a cute little tutu, she had leg warmers and a Halloween onsie on. My mom fashioned a cute tulle bow that just topped things off.

Ryder loves his baby sister!

Her first picture.

Jarrett all geared up to go to the OR. Love how the boots tie the outfit together!

Ralwee Shay Coates arrived Friday Oct. 29, 10 @ 0724. She weighed 6 pounds 8 oz. and was 19 inches long. She has just a little dark fuzz on her head but not much. She looks like a feminine version of Ryder but every time I look at her she changes. She is perfect. She is a really good baby, very mellow. Ryder has adjusted much better than I thought he would. He is very concerned about what Rawlee is doing. He's a little confused about the whole nursing thing and wonders what Rawlee is doing to mom.

I was still in the hospital for Halloween so I made Rawlee a little costume and Ryder came so I could get pictures of my kids together, then Jarrett took Ryder to Aurora to go trick or treating. I was sad that I couldn't do Halloween with Ryder this year, but luckily the weekend before our ward had a Halloween party. It was a lot of fun, we all dressed up, ate, played games and the kids trick-or-treated.
We were able to bring Rawlee home on Sunday. I was amazed at how good I felt. There was a huge difference in the recovery from Ryder's c-section to this one. With Ryder I was almost 2 weeks over due and in labor for like 60 hours before I went back to the OR. This time it was so nice I was only 38 5/7 weeks and no labor. I feel so much better just a little sore but doing great.

We love our little girl and are so happy to finally have her here. She is so precious!
