Home Alone! AHHHHHHHH!

Friday I had a new experience. My first time ever being home alone with Nathan & Alexa during a feeding time! Sam was, of course, at work & my mom had gone shopping. Overall it went pretty well & we made it through! I fed the babies in their bouncy seats which was kind of hilarious since they're so little. I took a video so you can see...


We're all doing pretty well... a little sleep deprived but who isn't when you have a newborn or two? Here are some pictures we've taken of the babies. We can already tell they're getting bigger! Nathan's blue hat no longer fits him & we don't have to fold over Alexa's preemie diapers anymore! They're becoming more alert & it's fun to interact with them. They're doing well on their schedule & that keeps me sane. We think they're the most beautiful & best babies ever! We might be biased... nahhhh.... :)

They are so incredibly cute!!! Nathan has some of Sam's looks and Alexa has some of yours. I guess that's because of gender and all but seriously they are adorable! Keep feeding them and getting them big! And keep posting pictures. We love to look at them. Allyson

It seems so much more real when you watch the video.

So, I sent a card to you and totally forgot to send the gifts with it. Plus, I put your maiden name on it, scribbled it out, and put your married name above it. I'm silly! I've been kind of sleep deprived too, so i'm running on auto pilot.

The gifts are in the mail and hopefully they'll get there soon after the card.

Just thought I'd let you know so you're not confused!

Love ya!

What are you stressing about . . . they just lay there! Just wait until they are getting into everything!! LOL! There are pros and cons to every stage! They are adorable, I have to agree.
PS. Happy Birthday!

Congrats Alicia!! They are here!! I have seen to fall off the blog commenting wagon for a bit! Your 2 little angels are absolutely precious!!! How cute and I'm so excited for you- you are an amazing mom already and handled the "double feeding" so much better then I ever would!:)

They are really getting big, and it won't stop. I remember times where Gracie would where her clothes once and then the next time I tried to put her in it, it would be too small. And now she's 11 months. Time flys. Nanci

They are SOOOOOOO beautiful! For real! Their faces don't even look like the newborn face babies usually have.
I totally know that feeling when you're nervous about having to do it all on your own. The thought of it is much scarier than it really is. You're going to be such a SUPER MOM!

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...
