Holy Weigh in Batman!!!
We had a pedi appt today and the girls weighed in at...
DRUM ROLL PLEASE..................... Morgan 10 pounds 7 ounces and 20 inches long Riley 10 pounds and 20 3/4 inches long...
I was shocked, they were just shy of 6 pounds a month ago and only 17 and 18 1/2 inches.. They are growing like weeds..
We also had the doc check Riley's ear, she has a bump that I was keeping an eye on and brought it to the doctor attention today. He said he thinks it is just a calcium deposit and nothing to worry about, so I will just watch it to see if it gets bigger. It doesn't seem to bother her so that is one good thing. We also had Riley's foot checked out. I had mentioned it to the pedi when I saw him last with Aiden but because Ri was not with there wasn't much he could go on.
I have noticed as she gets bigger the difference in her two feet is more noticeable. She has one foot that has a large gap between her big toe and the rest of her toes and the foot is thicker and wider in size. I also noticed today that she is flat footed (just on the funny foot) there is no arch but her other foot is fine.
The pedi looked and saw what I saw and wrote up a form to have it x-rayed. So after there appt we went over to the hospital to have it done. i didn't want to wait even though he said I can go at my convenience. I want to know right away in case there is anything we could or should be doing NOW while she is little. I've learned by past experience that time is important when you catch something early.
now can you imagine trying to x-ray a 2 month olds feet. They don't stay still and are always curling there toes when you touch them. So mommy got the idea to tape her foot to one of those things that look like big popsicle stick. It kinda worked, well good enough for them to get the x-ray they needed. They just didn't think Ri would be as strong as she was to keep riping her foot off the stick.. Haaa that's my girl..
As for Morgan.. She is doing fine, my little chubba has no current issues besides her hernia, but Ri also has one too. Ri's is not as big though.
Once I know more about the x-ray I will fill ya in, I plan on calling tomorrow to see if the doctor has looked at them. He should have received them 30 mins after we had them done. His office is closed at 4 and that would of been about 4:30 but I assume he'd still be there. I'll just call in the afternoon sometime and see what they say. Fingers crossed it's nothing major and can be corrected. I said today that Aiden went through enough for all my kids, at this point in time I think Aiden and the girls deserve a free ride..

November 18, 2007
It's been almost 3 weeks since I posted.. Ooopps.. Time just flew by, but when your not sleeping much, have 3 in diapers, and still looking for the pre-pregnancy brain, time gets one over on ya..
The girls are doing great, and getting so big already. No new weights to post yet, it's still another week before they go back to the pedi, but they are gaining like champs.
Riley already holds her head up and is so strong. Morgan does the same but I think it'sa the 3 chins she has. HA HA! She is still shorter but bigger now. It's hard to believe she was the "little" one.
We have become the attraction on outings now. People are so amazed to see twins. I use to stop and chat on the first few outings, but now it's more thank you's and smiles cause if I stopped every time someone chased me down to see them I'd never get anything done. It's funny cause I would have never thought I'd get the reaction from people I get. Maybe if I had triplets or quads or so on, but never with twins. Then again it's still sinking in with me that we have twins. Two babies at the same time.
Things are still crazy. The girls are sleeping a little better but I'm still not getting good sleep. They have started on cereal at night so that is helping and hopefully in a few weeks they will start to sleep through the night.
Morgan was eating every 90 minutes before the cereal and now see goes every few hours. Riley is the same, but neither one has a set schedule yet. It's still random. One will take a full bottle and go 3 hrs before the next, then take another and only go an hour and want more. The other will eat and go 2 hours or 4.
This is why sleeping is such an issue. By the time you are done with one, the other is ready and ya never know if either is going to fall right back to sleep after they eat. (Like now, it's 5:45AM and Morgan is all done eating but has no idea what she wants now, the little fuss bucket.. Every one else is sleeping.. UGH!!)
As for other news, we got our pictures done. Oh What Fun that was.. None of the kids wanted to cooperate. Aiden (who loves to smile for the camera) was over tired and just wanted to nap. Morgan and Riley didn't like any position they got placed in, so if one was happy the other was ticked off! Needless to say we got a few pictures for xmas, but we will be going back in a few months with fingers crossed they all do better. (they did look super cute though) AND boy are pictures expensive.. Geeesh!!! I got some but was rushing to not cut into the next appt so much and forgot a few I wanted so now I have to go back. After going through them and givine a few out to my family I realized I need a ton more just to cover Chuck's family.. UGH!!!
I got a good deal from a friend, cause if I had to pay full price it would of been about 350.00 and the amount of pictures we got are not a lot. Now to re order I will probably have to pay full price and well lets just say, there will be a lot of people not getting pictures of the kids. Not the professional ones that is, cause it's going to cost me an arm and a leg and well I already don't have enough arms.. Ha Ha!
