My baby girls are growin'!

Went to the perinatologist to check on my little sweeties and they are right on the right track of the twin growing curve!  Thank you, Jesus!  Doc said they have beautiful heartbeats, perfect size, and was excited that we've had no problems-- he told me to "keep doing what I'm doing!" :)  He also reminded me to rest a lot, be careful in the heat, and eat a lot... supposed to be eating 3,000 calories a day actually!    And... only gain between 35-45 pounds... ya right... :) ha!  
 
The STATS:
Reese Abigail 1 pound 10 ounces, is breech-- I feel her feet on my bladder especially at night!, is in front of Riley-- she was hogging the camera :), most of the time her hands and feet were in front on her face!  But... we got some 3-D pics of her sweet face!!!!  See Reese below.
(hard to see... I took a picture of a picture!)
Riley Grace 1 pound 6 ounces, is breech, has her head right by her sister's-- a bit behind actually, hard to see her face-- no good 3 Ds this time :(, moving a ton-- especially when her cousin Casen is "talking" to her!  See video below...


**This is what you're seeing... At first you will see the attempt to see Riley.  She is face down and blocked by Reese, so you can see her head and little ear on the right of the screen.  Then you'll see Reese-- her hands and feet are in front of her face for a while, but then you can see her face.  This isn't the best video because I couldn't upload it from the CD... I videoed it on my camera from my computer screen- ha!  Excuse the "narration"... that's for Nan and Pop. :)

Amy STATS:
*Starving ALL the time, but TIRED of eating. :)  I'm not used to eating so much!  I've always been a "picker"  some here and some there-- rarely big meals and frequent meals.  I get to the point where NOTHING sounds good!  I need new ideas!   Any yummy, healthy food/snack ideas for me??  I've been loving fruit, but doesn't fill me up! 
*Uncomfortable, but everything is great!  Trying to drink more water and watch my sodium to see if it helps my swollen, painful fingers- ouch!
*Slowing down for sure, but we're all healthy, so YEA!!!

YAY for healthy babies. I understand the tired of eating part, I got that way. I just ate whatever was in sight. Casey would make fun of me because I would eat breakfast,morning snack, lunch #1, lunch #2, snack, dinner, and bedtime snack. I don't know what I ate, just LOTS of food. Don't have many ideas for you. Good job on the weight gain, I gained 55 lbs. and have lost it ALL! Don't worry about eating to healthy, you will lose all that weight.
I am so excited that your pregnancy is going sooooo well.
Rest lots! Can't wait to see those precious babies~ :)
