Another Side-by-Side

Here's another side-by-side comparison with my last pregnancy. I'm feeling pretty good. Just had a doctor's appointment today where we got some good news. 2 weeks ago at the doctor, we found a little "glitch". Without going into too much detail (you're welcome) it became apparent that I needed to slow down. If things kept progressing the way it was looking, I'd be on bed rest. She wanted to see me in 2 weeks to check again. I've really TRIED to slow down but it's hard with 2 toddlers & it being the Christmas season. So I was really worried we'd go in today & get some bad news. But not so! Things looks stable for now. Yay! I'll still try to take it easy. As hard as that is, it's easier than going on bed rest.

I also need to focus on not eating so much junk-- the weight is packing on! I justify it since I didn't gain any weight my 1st trimester. But I know how hard it is to get the weight off. I know I can have a few cookies but seriously, I ate an entire pan of pumpkin cobbler by myself in 2 days this week. (Thanks VTers!) Not to mention all of the sugar cookie "rejects" I ate while doing my Christmas baking. That's a little much. My New Year's Resolution: more veggies, less junk!

Alisha you look great! Glad you are feeling well and you don't have a bed rest assignment. That's really such a blessing for your young family.

And as far as the junk food goes...you know what I always say..."What a pregnant lady wants...a pregnant lady gets!"

Good luck with that resolution! Let me know how it goes. I don't think I can give up the junk. You know how celery and peanut butter is good together? Well, I'm thinking about trying celery with fudge. You think that'll be okay? : )

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...
