36 Weeks!

Here is proof that the female body is much better equipped to carry just ONE baby instead of two. Goodness gracious, I looked awful-- thank goodness I didn't have to go any longer! (N & A were born the next morning) So here we are this time around-- 36 weeks. Still no complications. I never in a million years thought I'd have this "easy" of a pregnancy (if you can ever call pregnancy easy!). I am so grateful!

I'm down to weekly appointments with the doc. She said last Monday that based upon how everything looks, she doesn't think I'll make it until my C-Section date of April 26th. He's big though, already measuring 6 lbs. 6 oz last week, so he should be just fine whenever he needs to come. We're crossing our fingers & toes that we at least make it until after April 15th-- the end of tax season!

Things are getting more uncomfortable, especially at night, but I can't complain. I'm still able to do most things. I get tired easily but I'm basically a single mom right now so that's inevitable! I still have a list of things to get done before he comes-- hang in there little guy!

P.S. Happy Easter & Happy 20 months to my two little cuties!

You do look great! There are good reasons why I don't post pictures of myself on my blog. 4 kiddos and all of my crazy stress is my excuse!! Anyway congrats on the easier pregnancy and good luck in the weeks to come.

You're glowing, Alisha! Beware of the day when you feel actually aren't tired and you feel like you could go another week, 'cause the day I said that I went into labor with Braden. I heard that that happens to a lot of women, so I wonder if you'll experience the same thing. Good luck making it to the 15th! : )

I cannot believe you are already 36weeks!! Yippee for coming this far... who would have thought! That is so great!! I'm thinking since this pregnancy has been such a good one, you should have at least 4 more. ;) You look beautiful, my friend! Can't wait to meet this baby of yours!

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...
