Puerto Vallarta Pics

We really did have such a great time. We stayed at a resort called Villa del Palmar Flamingos in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, which is just north of Puerto Vallarta. The hotel was gorgeous. It was right on the beach & every balcony offered a beautiful view of the pool & the Pacific.
Vacationing with babies is definitly a new experience. We were fortunate that they really enjoyed the pool. We didn't spend a ton of time there each day, hence the reason we're all still as white as Casper, but the time we did spend there was a lot of fun. Nathan & Alexa looked ADORABLE in their swim gear!
Our nephew, Luke, celebrated his 1st Birthday on January 17th! It was so fun seeing him opening his presents & dive into his first cake! He got a swim suit from Gma & Gpa that matches Nathan's & we gave him the book, "A Monster at the End of This Book" which is one that my dad read to us as kids. It was a hit!One of the neatest things we did there was go on an AWESOME whale watch. We (minus the little ones & Gma) were on a motorized raft (yes, me on a raft... in the ocean... amazing I know) with a funny tour guide looking for giant humpback whales. The first sighting came right away & we were fortunate enough to see a mother & her baby! All in all, we saw about 20 whales. They are amazing & majestic creatures. It was a once in a lifetime experience that a camera just can't do justice!Family time is always great & we enjoyed every minute of it. Alexa & Nathan have loved spending so much time with Grandpa & Grandma Partridge. Thank you Mom & Dad for a wonderful trip!

How fun! So I didn't pay attention before that you were going to Vallarta! My brother is serving his mission there right now! He was right in Vallarta the first 7 months of his mission, and he LOVED it! I'm so glad you had a fun time!

Everyone looks like they had a great time. Even Sam has a great big grin on. The pictures look like a dream. You're so lucky.

So fun. I love the one of the babies in the tubes at the pool. Those two are too cute.

sounds like fun, great pics. That whale thing sounds cool but on a raft! I'd be scared of the whales sinking me or something. Such cute babies and the cake looks so good. Diets stink!

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...
