School Time

Because of work and growing a baby, I haven't been able to spend as much time at Nathan & Alexa's school as I would have liked.  But this month I was able to go a couple of times and it was so much fun!

On the 17th, the Kindergartners did their egg drops.  The night before, we made a special box for their eggs (which I, of course, didn't get a picture of).  We put the egg inside a ziplock bag full of saltwater, then in a bigger ziplock back.  We then packed it inside the box full of giant sized marshmallows and popcorn.  Nathan & Alexa each decorated theirs with markers & stickers.

The egg drop event at school was so much fun!  The Assistant Principal went as high as the roof of the school on a cherry picker & dropped the packages by class.  Both Nathan & Alexa's eggs survived!  Here are my two cuties waiting for their turn!


Then today, Max was on a field trip for school so I was able to sign up to volunteer at "Teacher Time Out," and be at recess and lunch.  It was such a blast!  Kindergartners are the best.  Here is Alexa with her two best friends, Dana & Kaylee.  I tried hard to get a picture of Nathan with his best friend, Dylan, but they were too busy running around and being boys!

I'm so glad Nathan & Alexa are so happy at school.  They love it & have learned so much!  I can't believe the year is almost over & they'll be headed to 1st grade in August!

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...
