Hi my name is Katie and I am the mom to my 1 yr old boy/girl twins and my 3 yr old daughter

When were your twins born? August 22, 2005 Jr came at 8:03pm and Ellie was born at 8:04pm via repeat c section.
What are their genders? boy/ girl
Are they identical or fraternal? fraternal of course lol
How early were they born? they were born at 35 weeks 3 days just like my singleton!
How much did they weigh? Jr weighed a whopping 6 pounds 8 ounces and Ellie was 6 pounds 1 ounce!(after being told they were barely 5 pounds 2 days earlier)
How's twin parenting going for you? It is awesome! I want another set of twins! they play so great together and my oldest daughter is just 26 months older than them and she is special needs so it can get hectic but it is very very rewarding at the same time. The twins just turned a year old and both are walking, well JR is running now lol and they still sleep together, they cant sleep apart

its so cute!

When were your twins born? On their bday

January 25th, 2003 at 12:58AM and 1:07AM.
What are their genders? Both boys. Although one of them thinks he is a princess.
Are they identical or fraternal?I use the word monozygotic, or MZ, because "identical" is an adjective, and since they had Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, they do not look identical.
How early were they born? 34w2d, both vaginally. Baby B was a feet-first breech, but he still came out.
How much did they weigh? 5lbs10oz and 3lbs11oz (huge discrepancy due to TTTS).
How's twin parenting going for you? It's great! I feel like an old-timer after reading this thread. They use the potty, they get themselves dressed, they are very independant. I sometimes can't believe they were once tiny little preemies. They're big boys now. They're very verbal and decisive. We also have a 1.5yo dd. I would like to have another baby someday, but I'd prefer not having twins again!

LittleHobbitsMomma · 09-04-2006, 01:09 AM

Who/where are you? I'm Susan and I'm in North Pole, Alaska

When were your twins born? July 26, 2002 by emergency c-section because of preterm labor; they were born 30 seconds apart - I am sure that is going to be very important to someone someday!

What are their genders? girls

Are they identical or fraternal? Fraternal: I have a blonde and a brunette

How early were they born? 24 weeks 6 days

How much did they weigh? 1.64 pounds each

How's twin parenting going for you? It is a ton of fun; it has certainly made singleton pregnancy and parenting a breeze. I think twins rock!!
