One Year Old Today!

My sweet little babies are ONE YEAR OLD today! I just can't believe it! I'll post more pictures later but I couldn't let this day end without recognizing this important event. This last year has truly been the happiest & most fulfilling time in my life. Nathan & Alexa have brought unmeasurable joy into our family. I have loved being a mother. I often heard mothers say that they were so caught up in the difficulty of having young babies that they didn't take the time to enjoy each stage. So much change happens in the first year of life; more than any other time. I never wanted to regret not enjoying those little stages. While I have not been perfect, I truly have enjoyed the first year. Getting them here was difficult but I have been blessed many times over for those trials. Nathan & Alexa are such a gift. Happy birthday my sweet angels!

Happy birthday (a day late)! Nathan and Alexa are so cute! I can't believe it's been a year. Time sure flies (probably not so much at 2:00 in the morning though).

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...
