One Week Old!

Nathan & Alexa turned ONE WEEK OLD yesterday!!!

Today's the big day-- we should be getting Nathan home! I'm waiting a bit to call up there to see how things are going. I'm just nervous to get my hopes up & then have something get delayed. But we're crossing our fingers! Nathan has been doing well in his open crib. When I got there yesterday, I walked over to his corner & almost thought he wasn't there anymore because I didn't see his big ol' isolette! Then when I walked over to him, expecting to see him asleep, I looked down & there he was-- wide eyed & looking around! It was so cute! I wish I had thought to get my camera out right then. But anyway, here are a couple of pictures of Nathan in his crib from yesterday.

Yesterday was Alexa's first pediatrician visit. I got her all dressed up in a cute preemie onsie with a headband... doesn't she look adorable??!?! She did very well, except didn't like being weighed because she had to be naked! Alexa now weighs 4lbs. 8 oz! That's a 4 oz weight gain since Friday! What a big girl huh? Hehe. Here are some other pictures of her sleeping. She loves to have her hands & arms by her face. She's also getting used to her binkie & keeping it in, which I'm grateful for! She & her brother are both such sweet & content babies. They are easily soothed when upset. Let's hope it stays that way!

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...

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! :)
