An end in sight.... hopefully!

My visit with Dr. Adam this evening was very exciting to me. We talked more about what's going to happen next week. It's still the case that if one or both of the babies is below the 10th percentile, she'll take them. BUT... if their growth levels off & they're above the 10th percentile I just might get to go HOME!!! If I do get to go home, I would be coming up here frequently to be monitored & would just be left to manage my contractions with oral medication, bed rest, etc... and then if & when I went into full blown labor, I would come here right away and then she'd take them. I could end up being home for only a couple of days but at least I'd get to go home! That sounds so great right now! The most likely scenario is still that the baby girl will be too small & I'll have my C-Section next week, but you never know. When I first came here, we didn't anticipate I would be doing this well 3 weeks down the line. Of course, with being in a high-risk pregnancy, something could change overnight & I do know that. But I still feel like I was given very good news. Monday is the BIG DAY! We'll see!

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!

Introducing...

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...
