Everything Going Well

I've been home for 2 days and everything has gone well so far! It's been great to see my dogs again & I think they're equally as thrilled to have me home! We're having a great time hanging out on the couch together & taking naps. My sister & her kids were here Wednesday & then my mom has been here all week. She's leaving this morning & I'm so sad! She has been a great help & even better company! My nursery was such a mess but she really helped me get it all together! We did a BUNCH of laundry for blankets, sheets, burp cloths, & clothes & folded & organized them by size. I have SO MUCH for under 6 mo. I don't know what we're going to do when they're bigger than that! She also got the closet organized. I don't know what I would have done without her being here this week. She & my dad will be back August 2nd. Hopefully the babies can hang on until then!

I went into the hospital yesterday for monitoring. The babies are still doing fantastic! I have an appointment with Dr. Adam today in her office at 1pm. I'll then go back in for monitoring on Monday, then have another doctor's appointment on Wednesday. From there we'll decide what needs to be done. I have to be monitored so often because of the cholestasis (my liver). Dr. Adam had said she would deliver the babies sometime between a week from yesterday (July 31st) & next Monday (August 4th). So I have no more than 10 days! Holy cow!

I have a wonderful friend, Carrie Walker, who brought us yummy lasagna last night for dinner & then my ward is bringing in a few meals during the next week. So we'll be well fed! I know I've said this before but I've been amazed at the love & support we've gotten from our family & friends. It has come in many forms & I'm grateful for each one. I'll post more if anything changes!

We are so happy to hear that everything is working out so well for you. You have done an amazing job of taking care of your little ones. It will be so worth it when they finally arrive. Let Joan know if there is anything we can do to help out. We'd love to bring you a meal or whatever you might need. Give your fur babies a hug for us too!

I am so glad that things are going so well for you. You had me worried there for a little bit. I am so glad that you are home. That helps so much. Good luck with everything and I am excited to see what these babies look like.

I am so happy to hear you and the babies are doing good!! When I open blogspot, I always go to yours first to see how everything is going:) I had a lay over at the Houston airport last week and I thought of you! I wish it was a longer layover! You were still in the hospital at that point anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered.

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...
