Good to be HOME

I got home Friday night. I'm tired & my body is worn out but its healing, so that's a good thing. The one wonderful thing about being in the hospital is there was lots of time to snuggle & stare at our cute little man...
But it was SO good to come home & see these little monkeys! They make me laugh... and sometimes they make me want to go back to the hospital... but I love them & missed them so I'll stay.
We were all interested to see what Max would really be like when I was off all of the narcotics for pain. Well... he's still the best baby around. I love this little face!
And I definitely couldn't have done any of this without this guy. He goes back to work today & we'll miss having Daddy around all of the time!
(I also couldn't have done it without my Mom... but she has an amazing ability to stay out of pictures! I'll get you Mom!)

Yeah! Welcome home! He is seriously the cutest little guy. Good thing I didn't stop by, we're all sick over here, but when we all heal I'll stop in to say hi.

Welcome home! So glad you are feeling better. And Max is really starting to look like an Oldroyd to me! Cutie boy.

Congrats you guys!!! Little Max is adorable. He looks just like Nathan I think. I'm so proud of you for keeping up on your blog this well. I'm pretty sure if I just had my baby I would be terrible at updating at least til I got a good grove going. I'm sure you are plenty busy with the twins and Max combined. I hope all is going well and everyone is staying healthy. Again Congrats!

I love the forehead wrinkles. I always loved those on my kids as newborns!

Congradulations for your new addition to your family. I really like the name Maxwell. I don't know how mothers do it with more than one child at home. Keep on keepin' on!

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...
