BOY OR GIRL

I can hardly stand not knowing if we are having a Boy or Girl! I've recently had a couple of dreams it's a girl..... Check back in two weeks and we will have an answer! I feel like my tummy is getting bigger and bigger! I am probably going regret this weekly picture post when I am HUGE! We go to the doctor next week and I can't wait to see a sonogram and hear how Baby West is doing. I have recently gotten a ton of energy throughout the day! Mornings are still pretty tough, but when have morning ever been good for me!

Shelby's Specialties Celebrates 5 YEARS!!

I can hardly believe how fast time is flying by! It seems like just yesterday I was graduating from college and wondering what in the world I was going to do! Can I just say... THANK YOU AUNT PAM! Without you, who knows what I would be doing right now! I have loved every second of my job over the last 5 years and that is not something most people can say. For those of you reading... my Aunt Pam has her own Promotional Product business out of El Paso called Steven's Specialties. She has been in this business for 30+ years! After graduating from college, Aunt Pam helped me get my business started. I couldn't thank her enough. It has allowed me to not only support our family for the last 5 years, but best of all... be my own boss and work from home! Thank you to all my customers over the last 5 years. I hope to continue to work with you for many, many more years to come.... oh and a baby isn't going to stop Shelby's Specialties! Maybe just take a little break in Dec. and Jan. :)

Dr. Jacob West

The day is finally here!! Jake had his first day of work on July 19th! I can't believe it! We spent the weekend getting his office all ready. He had a new desk delivered and we rearranged his equipment in the room. After hanging his diploma's on the wall and the cute mirror glasses from Aunt Kandy, the office looks great! His first few days of work went great. Each day he has come home with a ton of stories. The highlight of the week was when he found out he will not have to work Saturdays! This has been the only thing he has been dreading, but Dr. Smith said he will only be working Monday-Friday! YAYYYY! I think we can finally say we are settled in Tyler!

Aunts Come to Tyler

Each year, My Mom and her sisters take a yearly Sisters Trip. This year they decided they would visit all the family in the Dallas area. Monday they all met at our house! We spent the day shopping around Tyler and they all staying the night. Tuesday afternoon, Debby and her best friend Olivia, hosted a luncheon for me at the Potporri House in Tyler. Olivia's Daughter Dominique, lives in Tyler and it was a great way for me to me some of Dominique's friends! Thank you so much Aunt Debby, it was Perfect!

We are an ORANGE!

Baby West is now the size of a Navel Orange! 4.5 inches! That's crazy how big he/she has gotten in the last week! Yummm, that looks good, I think I will go have one ;)

2nd Trimester Here We Come!

FINALLY!! We are 13 weeks! We had a Doctors appointment Today. Baby West had a healthy heartbeat. Our next app. will be at 17 weeks. At 20 we will be finding out the sex and WE CAN'T WAIT! Jake is sure it is a Boy, haha! The end of August will be when we find out! I've posted some pics of my Baby Bump :) Yep, I think you can tell finally! None of my clothes fit! Doctor says I've gained 2 lbs so far... this might be my one and only post of my wait gain so Enjoy. I don't quite have all my energy back and I am still needing a nap here and there, but hopefully that will pass soon. Cravings... well a Hot Dog for the 4th sounded delicious leading up to the weekend and I've been on a lemonade kick lately.

Next week will be Jake's last week off until he starts work on July 19th. He is definitely ready to start! He's had a nice long break since April and is ready to start working after 21 years of school!
