TAX SEASON IS OVER!

We made it! And to celebrate, we headed down to the beach for a long weekend. We surprised the kids Thursday morning and checked them out of school around 10am. Spending 6 hours in the car wasn't the best birthday present for Daddy (Happy 37th birthday Sam!), but getting there made it worth it! We had a 3bed/3bath condo right on the beach and next to a great pool.

Here was our view!

Our first evening, we took a beautiful walk along the beach. I love these 5!



Lincoln loved the waves

Playing on the beach was a blast! Lincoln ate A LOT of sand. But he was happy!

We even ran into some old friends, the Markwalters and the Palfreymans!

The sky was so beautiful on our walk the second night.


The pool was still a little cold, so we spent a lot of time in the {not too hot} hot tub. Lincoln loved it as much as the big kids!



We even met some pirates at Pier 19! 

It was a great trip and we all enjoyed some much needed family time!

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! :)
