Big Boy/Girl Beds

Its a big day at our house-- we've reduced our number of cribs from 3 to 1.  Three is, by average standards, very old to still be in cribs (although its quite normal for multiples, I've found), they weren't climbing out so I hung on as long as I could.  Well that all changed when Alexa figured it all out last week.  We made it a long time but is time to move on!

They're SO excited to be in "big boy" and "big girl" beds.  I know this has opened a whole part of parenthood... roaming children in the night showing up at your bedside & scaring the bejebies out of you.  Oh, fun times ahead!

how cute, love their letters too! K was 3 years 3 months and I would have kept her in there (she climbed out around 20mo's but I got that tent b/c she was still taking 2, 2 hour naps a day and I wasn't giving that up!) but we needed the crib for baby J. Baby J will probably be in the crib until he is like 5. :)

That's great! My friend, who has twins-about 3 1/2 yrs old, just switched to "big kid" beds (meaning converting the crib to a toddler bed). They lasted about 10 days until they just bought twin mattresses..ha ha. I guess they thought "growing up" was fun to do! I can't believe how big they're getting!

I was never able to hold out until 3, but I remember those days and wishing they could be trapped forever!! Good job holding out! It's crazy how big they are getting.

Wow I can't believe you made it to 3. None of mine have made it to 2 so far. Yes, they will scare you as they roam around. And FRUSTRATE you too. Hahah.

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...
