A big weekend!

I have lots of new posts to do but I'll have to get them up later this week when I have pictures. Thursday night I went to my neighborhood Bunco group for the last time before bed rest & instead of Bunco I walked into a surprise baby shower! It was so fun! The ladies I've played Bunco with for the past 2 1/2 years are wonderful & I love them. It was such a great surprise!

Friday my mom flew in & we went to my dr appointment. Right as we were about to be seen, Dr. Adam literally ran out of the office to go deliver a baby. So we waited for a while, which I didn't mind because I definitely would want her to run like that if I needed her!! By the time she got back, she had a line of patients waiting for her. So the appointment was short but she did say the baby boy is 1.3 lbs & baby girl is 1.2 lbs! They are both small (26th & 39th percentile, I think she said...) but I feel better that they are closer to the same size! So thank you for all of your prayers!

Saturday was my big baby shower give by my mother-in-law & Sam's 3 wonderful sisters. the generosity of my friends & family is overwhelming. I'll post more about that later on.

Yesterday was a great day. It was so fun to have my mom & sister here for Mother's Day. I love them, look up to them, & appriciate them so much. It meant a lot to have Mother's Day Dinner with my mom, sister, mother-in-law & all of my sisters-in-law too. All of them are amazing women with individual talents. They teach me so much about life & kindness. Another great thing about my mom being her for Mother's Day is that my brother, Zack, who is on his mission in Washington DC, called here! It was great to hear his voice & listen to his stories.

As of yesterday, I am 24 weeks & growing. The babies kick a lot harder & more frequently. I am so grateful for them & for Sam. As hard as it has been & will continue to be, Sam & I have loved this time growing our little family. Here are some belly shots from yesterday. Like I said, there are pictures to come from my showers. Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Alisha, I got the highchair on ebay. the guy had like 4, brand new in the box. It's a Safety 1st. On ebay if you search Safety 1st wood high chair, you should find it. It was only like 60 bucks, $24 shipping. and it's a buy now item so you don't have to bid and wait! They are selling on amazon for like 130....way cheaper on ebay!

Alisha, You look FABULOUS! I am so glad that the babies are doing well, and YOU are doing better after the whole kidney stone situation. That's terrible, but I'm glad you are all doing better. Good luck with everything!

37 Weeks 2 Days

It's almost the end! I saw Dr. Adam last Thursday and I'm starting to spill protein and swell a little. But my BP is good! So we'll see what happens when I see her this Thursday. We may have to deliver early! I have mixed feelings about that because I really wanted to make it to 39 weeks, and my parents can't come until the 14th. But Sam is worried about my kidneys. So we'll see. Baby girl was 6.5 lbs last week. Even if she comes this week, she'll probably be about 7 lbs! Me on the other hand... I've gained 40 lbs! I have 5 lbs to go to be where I was with my other deliveries. Let's see if I get there! :)

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...
