Cosette Rae Horn

Born at 1:05pm on August 24, 2007

Labor was a piece of cake. I started pushing at 1:01 and out she came 4 minutes later. It was one contraction that brought her out. She is a great baby and sleeps so well at night. The first night home she slept 7 hours! Ally adores her and is trying to learn how to play nicely with her.

We took this right before we left the hospital. Matt and Ally had come to pick Cosette and I up from the hospital after they got done at church. Ally fell asleep on the way and stayed asleep until we got down to the car.
Ally is good at giving her sister kisses and pointing out that she has eyes, nose, fingers, mouth, toes and hair.

Cosette was born today at 1:05 PM she weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long.

Today is my mom's 45th birthday. My brothers, Ally, my mom, and I went out to dinner at Red Robin. None of us had ever eaten there before. It was SO good. I would totally recommend it to any burger/fry lover. Their burgers are HUGE, so you could share with someone. They have bottomless french fries that are pretty tasty. My brother informed our waiter that it was my mom's birthday, so they came out and sang to her and she got a sundae. She was embarrassed. We had a great time at dinner. I was told not to eat or drink anything after midnight. So that really stinks because I am ready for breakfast at 7am. This baby better come fast or I might end up chewing off one of my arms!

Yesterday Ally played dress up in her Halloween costume from last year. It is a little small, but fits her better now than it did at Halloween. She is still super cute in it. Ally thought it was so fun to run around the house dressed up and loved looking in the mirror.

Sunday dress

Eating ice after church. Ally and I absolutely LOVE to eat ice. It is so yummy!

Thanks Aunt Kim for the dress and shirts.

Okay, we just got back from the doctor. Here's the news...I am 4/5 cm dialated and 80% effaced. I am going to get induced in the morning and hopefully we'll have the baby sometime tomorrow. We are oh so excited about meeting this new baby. We will keep you updated on everything that happens tomorrow.

So I posted these all in the wrong order. If you want to start from the beginning, scroll down and go up from there.

Ally was so tired after the zoo, gardens, and dinner that she fell asleep in the car when we had less than 5 minutes till home. Unfortunately she didn't stay here all night. She woke up after 2 1/2 hours and was ready to play and eat a snack.

Zoo

Yesterday Matt's parents came down to visit and we went to the zoo and the white river gardens. It was lots of fun and the weather couldn't have been better. Well it could have been a few degrees cooler, but I'm 9 1/2 months pregnant so what do I know.

White River Gardens

Ally was reaching for the butterfly and it moved and scared her.

Last night we were hanging out at my mom's house and my mom and I were talking and all of a sudden, I realized it was very quiet and I didn't see or hear Ally. This is where we found her. She was watching Robin Hood Men in Tights with Trent.

The State Fair...Wednesday.

Matt, Ally, and the cows. Ally LOVED the cows. She didn't have a bad experience with them like she did with the sheep. She can't say moo yet, but she says boo. So instead of mooing at the cows, she was booing at them! It was quite cute.
This cow was just about as tall as me and it was still on all 4's.

Well that's all the pictures we have for the state fair this year. I once again, forgot to take more pictures. Maybe next year will be a more successful picture taking state fair adventure for us.

I just got back from the doctor. I was so glad he had some good news for me. I am 3 cm dialated and 60% effaced. I was worried that he was going to tell me that I was still in the negatives. If I haven't gone into labor by next Friday, then we are going to go ahead and induce Friday. YEAH!! My mom is hoping I have the baby on the 23rd, because that's her birthday. I told her I am not promising anything. She is wanting to take me out on a BIG walk/hike on Wednesday, so the baby will come on Thursday. Anyways, I am just glad that everything is going well with the pregnancy.

Okay so I didn't do a very good job at taking lots of pictures at the State Fair. Here are a few...don't worry I am going again this week and will try to take more pictures. We went to the fair with Matt's parents and sister. We had a great time.

This sheep scared Ally. She was sitting in her stroller next to him/her and looked away and the sheep had it's face close to Ally's face and it baaaad right in her ear. She burst into tears and wanted out immediately.
If you look closely at Ally's face you can tell she had been crying and is VERY tired. Can't you just tell she is tired by looking at her. She did so well.

I got to eat some of the fair food I wanted to. I couldn't eat everything I wanted to because I would have made myself sick. I got to eat some tators, ice cream from the Dairy Bar, and a lemon shake-up.

Playing in the pool

Ally, Uncle Travis, and Aunt Tiffney.
We had lots of fun at the pool. We went in the evening so we could cool off from the hot day.
I can't wait until we can have a pool in our backyard. How fun will that be? Oh so fun.
