Home Are we fraternal or identical?

[packrat]

Nom nom nom

 

[Mandarine]

No results yet!!!

I''m going to send the company an email right now!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Is it bad that this wants to make me giggle out loud with glee? Yeah I''ve been bitten (okay attacked) by the baby bug in like the last month, but I can''t wait to see the results! Voting identical!

 

[neatfreak]

Mandarine-completely random question but I assume they have the same blood type? If you haven't looked yet that's another way to tell if the company is MIA...it's on the hospital paperwork for my boys. Different blood types would mean frats. Same obviously could go either way.

I can't wait to find out!!! I am thinking they are ID still.

 

[Mandarine]

Still no results!!!

Neat So my hospital paperwork didn''t have their blood type anywhere! I looked through like 3 times. It would have probably been cheaper to just find that out first, but I didn''t think about it until after I had ordered the test!!!

We have friends over this weekend and they have gotten them confused. One of them says Fraternal, one says ID. I think the votes are like 50/50 overall (IRL and on PS!)

 

[ChargerGrrl]

Oh Mandarine! How did I miss your thread? The boys are just precious.

I vote fraternal. Can''t wait to hear the results.

Hope you are well!

 

[ellaila]

Hope you get the results today, Mandarine!! I think ID

 

[Mandarine]

RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...........


They are:






IDENTICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommy wins!!!! Hubby and MIL lose! hehe

How crazy is that! Twins run in my family so we assumed fraternal. Never in a million years I thought ID when we were pregnant!!. What are the odds of getting pregnant at the first try and with ID twins!!!? Crazy!

For some reason I think this is so cool!

and now I don''t feel so guilty for confusing them!

 

[taovandel]

WOOHOO!!!! Must be a relief to finally know!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Mandy, it feels good to be right huh?

That is so cool they are ID. I don''t blame you for getting them mixed up. In photos they look so alike I am sure it is even more so in person!

 

[ChinaCat]

No way!!! So cool. A mother''s instinct wins out. Again.

 

[curlygirl]

Woohooo, never doubt a mother's instincts!! And for once I was right about something!! Congratulations! I think it's SUPER COOL that they are identical!!!

 

[Maisie]

I guessed wrong! How cool they are identical!

 

[Kaleigh]

See, a Mom just knows!!!!

 

[kama_s]

Sweet! Can't go wrong with a mother's (and my

) instinct!

 

[mela lu]

Holy Sh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Z! That is wild. I (and my Olsen twins theory) was WRONG!
So so so cool that you have IDs. Awesome end to a cool and suspenceful experiment.

 

[MonkeyPants]

That''s sooo awesome! Yay! I win too!

 

[icekid]

I was right too

It will be so cool to watch them grow up together, Mandy. ID twins seem to have this connection that is amazing!

 

[April20]

How cool! They are so darn cute- I couldn''t tell them apart in your pics so I was really hoping I was right when I guess identical.

 

[somethingshiny]

I was totally wrong!! I really thought since I could see a bit of difference in the pics that they must be fraternal! Amazing that identical twins can still have minute differences. I''m glad you found out. I couldn''t stand to NOT know if they were mine!!

I wonder if they''ll have that super-twin bond?!

 

[zoebartlett]

Identical -- how cool is that?! I guessed wrong -- oops.

 

[lovelylulu]

Identical twins are cool

I''m so glad that you got the results and that you were right

 

[cara]

That''s awesome mandarine! Good use of the zygosity testing!

They look pretty similar to me, but what do I know?

OK, random question. From when they were born, how did you keep track of them? OK, now that they are older maybe you have some marker like a freckle or ear that you use to distinguish them, but from when they were brand new and the first few weeks, were they kept marked or labeled in some way so that you know Alex is Alex?

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Love it, love it!!

 

[Puppmom]

Identical! How fun! I''ve really enjoyed the suspense and the voting.

 

[neatfreak]

Oh I KNEW it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so great to finally know Mandarine!!!!! How exciting!

I brought nail polish to the hospital in case we couldn''t tell them apart! I know a few other twin moms who knew they were having ID twins that did the same.

 

[Dreamer_D]

I knew it! How fun. They will be glad when they are older that you did the test!

 

[TravelingGal]

Hahaha, I''m glad you were right.

I didn''t vote...couldn''t decide. I thought they looked identical but then thought, how could it not be found out sooner?
