Winter finally?

Its been unseasonably warm this fall, even for Houston.  We're finally getting some cooler weather... you know, the kind where you actually can sleep under more than a sheet without turning your AC on.  It's been nice.  Although I TOTALLY have Texas-born children because they don't like the cold outside.  They could play for hours outside in mid-August but when that cold wind blows, they no likey.

I haven't been blogging much because I haven't had much to blog about.  Just trying to keep my head above water & my brain in semi-functioning order.  Sam being incapacitated has really thrown us for a loop but we're adjusting, just like we always do.  We're slowing (and I mean SLOWLY) getting the house decorated for Christmas & the kids are loving all of the lights & Christmas music.  They still don't quite get Santa but we're going to head over to the mall sometime soon to see him so maybe they'll connect it then.

Speaking of them not getting Christmas... they started singing "Happy Birthday" to the tree when I first turned the lights on.  It's true, here's video proof:

Silly kids.  Oh, and a friend was watching them the other day & told me that she fed them PB&J with pretzel sticks for lunch and Nathan stuck 2 pretzels into the sandwich, sang happy birthday, then blew on the pretzels.  That kid's seriously obsessed.

that's so cute. kylee is so weird about jackets. she hates wearing them. i couldn't keep one on her last winter. then this summer she'd find them in her dresser and refused to take it off. now i'm fighhting her to wear a jacket. but now she understands "well if you don't wear a jacket then you can't go outside" so she puts it on but then takes it off while playing outside. argh!!!!

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...
