So I found out yesterday at my appointment that unless we do some VERY expensive testing there is no REAL way to know if our babies are identical or not. Obviously if one is a boy and one is a girl they are NOT identical no matter how much they look like each other. :D If one has brown eyes and one has blue eyes: not identical, etc. But just because they look a lot alike and even exactly alike, unless we do the tests we still wouldn't know for sure that they were identical. (Of course most people don't do the testing because if their sons or daughters look exactly alike they're satisfied enough to call them identical.) But I changed the poll. The last one ended in 13 votes: 2 for identical girls, 2 for fraternal girls, 1 for identical boys, 2 for fraternal boys and a whopping 6 for 1 boy, 1 girl. I tried to just add these votes to the new poll but couldn't figure it out. So vote again if you want but I'll add the last votes to the final count later. We find out next month at our perinatologist appt what we're having. (Yes, we get two doctor appointments each month just as an extra precaution for the babies.) I can't wait. In other baby news, Baby A has a health heart rate of 160 and Baby B of 170!! (According to some old wives tale I found on line, this is an idicator toward girls.) Both are doing really well so far. In other body news, I have gained 8 inches around my waist (just above the hip bones near the belly button) and I continue to grow about an inch a week. If I continue at this rate I will add at least 21 more inches to my tummy but I've got a feeling it's going to grow bigger and faster than that. So I'm looking at tripling my original waistline. Hopefully I'll be as lucky with the stretch marks as I was last time. Pictures to come!
