Fat feet, fraternal twins, anorexic scarecrow

Swollen foot on left. Hippopotamus's swollen foot on right.
I ran for the camera when I saw this pose. B is on left with pacifier watching A. A was asleep holding B's pacifier in his mouth for him. But by the time I took the picture Baby A moved his hand away.

Baby B is in white and Baby A is in blue. We often find them sleeping in exactly the same poses. Here they were fast asleep just minutes after putting them in tummy time.



This pic is for my sister Leslie. We talked about the Fall Festival over the phone and the scarecrow activity. I like to refer to this fine specimen as the anorexic scarecrow-- our ugliest scarecrow to date. I thought it would be easier for the family to make a teenage scarecrow because it would take less time. But it really looks dorky. lol

Rachel-

My feet don't look like that anymore thankfully. lol That pic was taken before the twins were born. After they were born, the left foot was as big as that right one pictured and the right foot got even bigger. If you can imagine. I was M*A*S*S*I*V*E.

Wow! Those were some swollen feet. You must have been in such pain. :( I don't know about you, but after having a baby I always loved to look down and think about how skinny my feet now looked compared to the swollen days. lol

Those little guys are so cute. I just love to see twins snuggled up to one another!

i can't believe how big they are getting. they look so handsome. i'm sorry to see you are still struggling. that's what happend to cami after she had her baby. it was crazy. she actually weighed more when she left the hospital, then when she was pregnant. i hope for your sake, that you get better. good luck

Emily-

I'm not swollen anymore. It was very discouraging to see how huge I got after the birth. But now it's all gone down and I'm actually 29 lbs. lighter than I was before getting pregnant. :)
