I'm such a good Mom

Guess what my kids had for breakfast this morning? Dry cold cereal. Guess where they ate their breakfast this morning? In front of the TV.

I don't even have the excuse that I'm sick, or pregnant, or even tired. But there is a good reason.

Sam is taking his 3rd CPA test today & I wanted him to be able to sleep in a bit. So I took all of the kids to the front room so it would be quieter. See, my bad mom morning is canceled out by having a thoughtful wife morning. Hooray!

Also, this time in our lives should be documented because Sam finally broke me down & we had Direct TV hooked up yesterday. We have had good ol' bunny ears for 2 1/2 years & I am just fine with that. But Sam might DIE if he misses another season of precious basketball. And he's getting surgery on his knee & wrist this month & will have a lot of couch time. So I conceded.

P.S. Alexa is in Dora heaven. She had never even seen an episode of Dora... but having Dora undies & jammies was enough to win her affection!

You are a good wife... and a good mom! Even with dry cereal in front of the TV. My kids can see the TV in the family room from our kitchen table and I let them watch cartoons every morning during breakfast. Maybe that makes me a bad mom? I don't know, but it keeps them quiet and entertained in the morning.

yeah for the test being done! Will and Lexie can be in Dora heaven together. He found a Dora Winter princess book at the library the other day and another kid tried to take it and Will threw the biggest tantrum because he wanted to check out the Dora book. Should I be embarrassed? No, I slide in my girly moments whenever I can! :)

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...
