The Best Mother's Day

Yesterday was great.  Really great.  Here's why:


  1. I woke up to breakfast, pictures colored by the kids, a wonderful gift from my husband, & best of all, 3 of my favorite little people giving me hugs, kisses & saying "Happy Mother's Day!"  
  2. Sam helped remind the kids to be good for me & helped managed them more than usual so I didn't have to deal with the little things.
  3. I finally got to be the women in the congregation at church with tears in their eyes as their kids sang the most adorable little Mother's Day songs.  I've been waiting for this for a long time & it was every bit as wonderful as I had imagined.  We did have to bribe Alexa with candy to go up... she's been going through a little reluctant phase... but once she was up there, she & Nathan both sang the songs & smiled at me.  It was so precious.  I can't wait for next year!
  4. Both of the boys were being a little nuts during the rest of the church meeting so my wonderful husband took them and sat out in the foyer so I could sit in the meeting with Alexa & listen to the speakers.  She was an angel & snuggled up next to me, ate snacks, and at one point, out of the blue, looked up at me and said, "Happy Mother's Day Mommy.  I love you."  
  5. Sam made me a yummy dinner & even went over & stole some Happy Tracks from his parents freezer for me for dessert.  
  6. To back track a little, Sam stayed up until past midnight Saturday night helping me hang pictures & other decor that I wanted up in the entry way.  Sunday, after dinner, he helped me finish & now its all done.  I love completing projects & it never happens without the help of my wonderful husband!
I am so blessed to be a mother, have a wonderful mother & mother-inlaw, & for all of the mothers I had in my life.  Life is good.

what a happy day, we should have mother's day more often. :) I hate that reluctant stage thing. K has done it a few times and it bugs b/c then she gets all whiny, sad and no's come out in full force but if we let it go for a few minutes she will do it but sometimes you don't have a few minutes when there's a performance! But like you said, well worth it.

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...
