Twin Mama Rama asks if her twins boys are identical or fraternal twins?

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 found out I was having twins when I was 5 months along. From then on out I had to go to 2 different doctors at 2 different hospitals. On February 27th of 2009 I went to Fletcher Allen hospital in Burlington Vermont for a routine ultrasound. They didn’t like what they saw so they admitted me. They gave me a shot to help develop the boys lungs. Four long hours later my twin boys came at just 31 weeks. I was scared to death, I had no idea. Brandon was twin A and weighed 3lbs 5 oz and was 16 inches long. Jayden twin B was 2lbs 10 oz and 14 inches long. They rushed them down the hall to the NICU. It was a very long night and the next day we found out that it wasn’t Jayden the smaller of the 2 who had problems but Brandon. He struggled through the day and at a awful 2:30 in the morning of March 1st of 2009 our precious baby died. It was horrible. The most horrible thing I have done this far in my life. Our son Jayden is now 6 months old and doing great and doesn’t have any health issues except being a few pounds smaller than other 6 month olds.
