Wonderful night at the Astros game!



It was a wonderful and exciting night at Minute Maid Park in Houston tonight! I went to the Astros game with my father-in-law John, sister-in-law Amy & brother-in-law Ryan. It was a full house in anticipation of Craig Biggio making baseball history with 3000 carreer hits. Each time Biggio got up to bat he got a single and it took him 3 to reach the 3000 mark and the game's excitment only grew from there. There were home runs hit by both the Rockies and Astros and by the 11th inning, we were down one run. Biggio, Pence & Berkman loaded the bases & with 2 outs, Lee hit in a GRAND SLAM to win the game! You don't get much better ball than that!

The only downside is that Sam, the biggest 'Stros fan in the Oldroyd clan, did come! He has a big final tomorrow a.m. I am so proud of him for choosing to stay home and study though. He's working so hard! Only 2 more semesters after this summer and we're finally done with school!!!

Anyway, I'm not much of a baseball fan but I feel lucky to have been in attendance tonight. It was truly a memorable experience! When I get better at this blogging thing, I'll remember my camera. I feel bad that I don't even have a picture of John, Amy, Ryan and I at the game! I'll try to be better about remembering :) G'night! And GO 'STROS!

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also! I met their mom (Laurie) through an email list I got on while on bed rest in the hospital. There was another mom who was supposed to join us who also has boy/girl twins their age-- but she couldn't make it. What a picture that would have been!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
