Visit from Grandpa & Grandma

Grandpa & Grandma came on the 21st for a Christmas visit! Our friend Amazon.com had delivered a few packages from them so we knew some fun presents were in store! N & A got their first present on the 22nd-- a double Radio Flyer Wagon!! (Grandpa is just a kid himself & couldn't wait to give it to them!)
We decided to take the new wagon for a spin at the Houston Zoo! We had so much fun-- especially Lexie, our animal lover! She squealed, waved her hands & kicked her feet every time an animal moved! They had SO much fun at the petting zoo brushing the goats! They even had their first Merry-Go-Round ride! They weren't too sure about that one... but I know they'll love it next time!
The 23rd was mine & Sam's SIXTH anniversary! We spent the morning/afternoon at the temple & enjoying a nice lunch at Macaroni Grill (YUM!) while Nathan & Alexa played with Grandpa & Grandma at home! That night, we opened more presents from them! Nathan got a BIG dump truck & Lexie got a new baby doll. They also got Christmas Jammies that are personalized! Sam & I received a Flip mini-camcorder, which we're SO excited about! It takes 2 hours of HD video! We really were spoiled! Thanks Grandpa & Grandma!

Early Christmas Eve morning, we got up, loaded in the van, & headed toward Dallas. We had to share Grandpa & Grandma with their other grandkids! We met Amanda's family 1/2 way & after running around for a while, headed back to Houston.It was so fun to have you hear Gpa & Gma! Come again soon! We love you!

P.S. And Grandma, next time you need to get in at least ONE picture!!!

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! :)
