A Little About our Maxwell:
  • His gross motor skills are improving slowly but surely.  He gets around just fine scooting so I don't think he'll ever crawl but hopefully walking will come sometime soon!
  • He jabbers a lot & makes a lot of sounds.  He definitely says mama & dada.  Occasionally he'll say ball, binky, or baba.  He also learned to say Ellie (Aunt Marianne's dog) and calls all puppies "Ellielliellie" by rolling his tongue around.
  • He loves to push cars & trucks around & say "Vroom Vroom"
  • Just like his brother, he has a wicked arm & has been known to throw cars at point blank range. (Ouch!)
  • Gets really ornery when teething but otherwise is the happiest kid around.
  • Takes really long afternoon naps (sometimes 4 hours)
  • Often says, "YAY!" and laughs when I'm taking him into his bed for a nap or bed time.
  • Is now completely off the bottle. (A little sad for me :( )
  • Is not crazy about cold milk but will drink it.
  • Loves to tease his siblings by taking toys or their sippy cups.
  • Says, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" after he takes a drink
  • Eats almost ANYTHING but won't eat Mac n Cheese (Weird)
  • Now has 6 teeth
  • Loves music & books
  • Loves balls
  • Gets SUPER excited when the dogs start barking when Daddy gets home from work
  • Always prefers Mommy & has a little bit of separation anxiety
  • Is learning facial feature like nose, mouth & eyes
  • Gives the BEST kisses while making the noise "Muuuuuwah!"
  • Blows kisses, especially when on Skype with Gma & Gpa
  • Has signs of defiance & a little bit of a temper
  • Loves the swimming pool
  • LOVES the beach
  • Loves to look at himself in the mirror
  • Loves to get into the dog food/water
  • Loves all animals & being outside
  • Will be MUCH happier when he can go & run around with the bigger kids!
Maxwell has always been my little buddy.  I love him like crazy & am so thankful to be his Mommy!  He is the sweetest little boy & we're lucky to have him in our family!

What a cute guy! He sounds like he would have lots in common with my 18 mo. old. I'm so glad to hear that there are others that have that close range throwing thing going on. We've been working on it constantly.

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!

Introducing...

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...
