First Day of Joy School



I got together with some other moms from our church & we put together a little joy school group!  Nathan & Alexa go to "school" from 9 am - 11:30 every Tuesday & Thursday.

They were a little confused when we pulled up to their friend, Kaylee's house... They wanted to go to a SCHOOL! (Nathan even kept talking about riding the bus!)  But when I picked them up, they had had a GREAT time & were so happy!  I look forward to seeing how they learn & grow in Joy School!  I also REALLY look forward to F-I-V-E hours a week with just Max!  Oh the errands I'll be able to run...

Special Moment I want to remember: 
Last night for Family Home Evening we talked about Priesthood blessings.  We started by talking about their blessing days & showing them pictures (here & here) & then talked about Father's Blessings.   To close the lesson, Sam gave each child & me a blessing.  Its a tradition in my family, & in Sam's, for the children to have a Father's blessing before a new school year.  Nathan & Alexa were so excited & so reverent.  The Spirit was in our home & it was a wonderful evening for our family.

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...

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! :)
