The Girls Christmas Program

They are in there somewhere. This is all of the 3k, 4k, and 5k classes at their school.
Tatum with her class.

Ashlyn with her class.

Tyler was 1 1/2 weeks old at their program. For those of you that are thinking it, yes i went and so did Tyler. He was tightly in the sling, so noone could touch him, but i have figured out that we just have to keep on going. There is no slowing down when you have a 3 and 4 year old. They did so great singing.

Great job girls. We love you so much!

The First 2 weeks home

The first 2 weeks home were such a blur for me. I was so exhausted and still very swollen. It hurt to walk from the c-section and the swelling. My feet were so huge they wouldn't even fit into crocks... Luckily the girls were still in school, so that was a great help. Once my mom would pick them up, I would either feed Tyler again, or go straight to sleep. I think atleast every other night we went out driving to look at Christmas lights. I couldn't drive for 2 weeks and for me that was the worst torture ever! For those of you that know me well, you know i am not a home body. All these people that told me the third one just falls right into place.... I am not sure what they were on when they were telling me that, but not the case here. It has been much more of an adjustment for me to have 3 than to have 2. Maybe that is because Tatum was only 17 months old when Ashlyn was born, I dont know... but this sure seems harder.

Our first night home

We had a good first night home. He woke up 2 times during the night. I slept in the recliner since it was easier for me to get up and down from. The girls did great with him being at home. Josh was still off on Friday, so it was nice to have him here. We had to take Tyler in Friday to our doctor for a weight check. He was still at 7.14

Hospital Pictures

Here are a few pictures from the hospital of Tyler. We were there for 4 days. When we left on Thursday Dec 4th, he weighed 7lbs 14oz. We were ready to get home and see the girls, but i was nervous at the same time.

Joshua Tyler West Jr

Tyler was born Monday Dec 1st at 11:56am. He weighed in at 8lbs 9oz and 21 in long. While getting my epidural his heart rate dropped and would niot come back up. I ended up having to have an emergency c-section. Not what i had "planned" or hoped for at all. Due to it being emergency... i was knocked out. Therefore I dont remember anything about it. This bothered me for over a week, but he is here and healthy and all that I could ask for.

Tatum and Ashlyn did great with him in the hospital and loved coming to see him everyday! Tatum loves to hold him ALL the time! Ashlyn likes to hold him, get her fix and then she is off doing her own thing again. Tatum on the other hand has to be right under me at all times trying to figure out what needs to be done with Tyler!

Our family is now complete!

The Incredibles go to Disney Land

We went with Grammie and Bobo (josh's parents) to Disney on Ice. The girls had a great time. The theme was the Incredibles go to Disney Land. The girls have really started to get into things such as this..... here we go.....

Build A Bear

We took the girls to Build A Bear and they picked out a blue and white bear to make for Tyler.... We are hoping that with them taking him a present and him bringing them some presents that things will go over well! We shall see in less than 2 days!
