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!

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.
