Day 1 - Disneyland

We started off the morning with a family breakfast.  Alexa & Abbie were so excited to see each other!  Such cute little twin cousins in their matching Minnie shirts!  We were also thrilled to have Grandpa Great & Grammy join us for our trip!


Then we walked over to Disneyland & the fun began!  Our first ride was the Matterhorn.  Unfortunately Max was a little too short to ride but the rest of us had a great time!  We headed over to Dumbo after that so Max could get in on the action.

Here's a bunch of us on Mr. Toad

Here we are in Pixie Hollow!

And Max's first big ride... Space Mountain!  They weren't such big fans - too fast & too dark.  But we were so proud of the kids for all trying it!  They rock!

Another favorite (no pictures) was Star Tours.  Nathan & Max LOVED it.  It was really one of those rides where they couldn't distinguish between reality & fantasy!

Here we are on the car track:

It's a Small World - prepared with ponchos!

We just loved being with all of our Partridge family, especially all of the cousins!  It was such a perfect day!

The people who made this all happen:

Day 1 = Success!

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...
