I love stumbling upon other parents’ personal websites about their twins and/or preemie babies! For instance, yesterday I found Twin Mama Rama – Join the Adventures of a Twin Mom and her Twin Boys!
In this post (with the photo of her boys above), the author asks her readers whether or not they think her twins boys are identical or fraternal. With the history of mom being a twin herself and the boys in separate sacs, I’d go with fraternal, but looking at the picture, they definitely look like mirror-identical twins! What’s your take? I’m anxious for her to post the DNA results!
Do you know of a “preemie twins” worthy website we should check out? Contact us!
Fostering a sharing and caring environment at home is nothing short of difficult. Especially for twins, who are often times expected to be each other’s best friends, expectations can be overwhelming. Bunk beds for your twins can grant them individual spaces while still learning valuable lessons about compromise and cooperation. The bunk bed helps save space in the kids’ room while your twins work together toward a common goal, whether it be making the bed or deciding who gets to sleep on the top bunk. Comfortable, secure, stylish, and a space saver, bunk beds can also be a vital learning tool for teaching your kids an important lesson in cohabitation.
Margarita Velasco gave birth to identical twin boys with the first, Marcello, born just before midnight on Thursday, December 31st, 2009, and his brother Stephano being delivered shortly after 12:01 am on Friday, January 1st, 2010 via an emergency C-Section in Tampa, Florida. The boys were twn weeks premature.
I have 10 weeks old identical twin girls. They were born at 31 weeks and 2 days. We went through IVF, one egg took and then split. It split late, both girls were in the same amniotic sac – Monoamniotic Monochorionic. We were originally told that they cold be conjoined, but thankfully they were not. I was admitted to the hospital at 26 weeks. I was scheduled for a c section at 34 weeks, but my water broke early. The girls were 3lbs each when they were born. They spent 3 1/2 weeks in the NICU gaining weight and learning to take a bottle. One was on a nasal canula for a few days; the other required no breathing help. Both had episodes of Bradycardias – very scary. They are both 6lbs 3oz and 18 inches long – as of their pediatrician appointment last week.
We appreciate this month's PreemieTwins.com sponsor of Gainsville AC service who helps us provide free resources for parents of premature infants and multiples.
