Anyone else with fraternal same sex twins...

My girls are soooo different. One is blonde and blue eyed and the other is brown haired and brown eyed. Their face shapes are totally different and so are their body types. It seems like so many of the babies I see on here look similar (and not just the identical ones ) Anyone else have babies that look totally different? I would post photos but haven't figured out yet how!!

 

Mine are g/g frats (we "assume") but they have the same blood type and the same color eyes (both have blue but Alyssa's are very dark blue and Ashley's are a light blue)... beyond that really... they have nothing in common. I have posted a few pics asking ID or FRAT and the overwhelming majority say Frat... also out in public we get alot of "those babies look nothing alike" comments BUT we do get a few " how do you tell them apart" also. Here is a pic of my girls, I think they fall into the "Frat w/ sibling resemblence" category. I have never even considered getting them DNA tested because we are pretty sure they are Frat.

I personally think mine look nothing alike but everyone else thinks they do look alike!

I think they look Frat in that pic but I cant see the baby on the left "head on" that might make or break me on my ID Frat decision!

 

I was just saying tonight how mine look nothing alike! They both have blue eyes, but Carlie has almond-shaped eyes, a wider nose, thinner lips, a bigger head, blonde hair, and she is longer/skinner everywhere. Claire has round eyes, smaller nose, bigger lips, small head, reddish hair, and she my chunk-a-monk! So I think it is crazy too that they are twins but barely look like sisters!

Okay you guys I really wanna see pics!!

 

My girls look NOTHING alike! Maia is my skinny bald little redhaired caucasion, and Sofia is chubby and darker with tons of dark hair. They have absolutely nothing in common, the are polar opposites in looks and personality.

Sofia thing 1 and Maia thing 2

 

I have b/b frats and Ive never thought they look that much alike. Both have blue eyes, but one looks like my side and the other looks like DH.

I have 11-month-old fraternal boys. One seems to take after my side, and the other is more like my husband's side. They have different eye colour (one blue, one green), and different hair colour (one blonde - hardly any hair, one brownish). Honestly, I don't think they look alike at all. But everyone once in a while someone will come up to me, especially when they're wearing hats, and ask how I tell them apart...so I guess they must be at least slightly similar to strangers. I enjoy having two very different babies.

 

Mine look completely different, but we still have people ask how we tell them apart and act surprised when we tell them they're fraternal . I guess they look related, but they have very distinct features and different hair colors! Cassidy looks a lot like me and Candace looks a lot like DH.

My Fraternal Cuties

 

ME! I've got one very fair skinned red head with a round chubby face, and I've got a dark headed, more slender little faced boy! I'll try to find a good pic and post it tomorrow. But yeah, ours look NOTHING alike. One looks like me, the other takes after Daddy!

 

I have g/g frats that look NOTHING alike one is fair skinned with haie and blue eyes while the other is brown eyed with a reddish tint ti her skin. I get the they look just alike in public all the time!

 

My girls look absolutely nothing alike.

 

Yep. Check out the Avatar. I know they're b/g, but mine don't even look related! Oh well. I think they're adorable anyway .

 

Oh yes, my boys don't even look like they're brothers, let alone twins.

David looks like me; is fair skinned, blue eyes, kind of on the small side.

William has an enormous head, big, brown eyes, olive skin and looks like neither DH or myself!

I hear people when we are out whispering..."Are they twins?" "y-yes...I think so...one is bigger...not sure" It's pretty funny. I think people think I am babysitting one of them or something.

We call them Shamus and Guido.

Here they are

I just had to say how CUTE they all are!!! I vote that the last 2 (Shamus and Guido :winking0009: ) look the most different.

 

Our girls are fraternal also. A few ladies on here were adament about getting the DNA done, but we have no reason to since they look nothing alike. Anyways, Avarey looks like our daughter Kenia did at 0-6 months and Aubrey looks like Kenia from 6-9 months. Weird I know, but look at the pics!

This first one is of my daughter Kenia when she was 5 months old (she is 4 now!)

I hope that all of these come through.

One of mine is blonde hair/blue eyed, and the other dark hair and brown eyed. But they definitely look like sisters, just not identical.

 

My two look so different as well. Victoria has darker hair and darker eyes, are taller than Athena and has a fair skin. Athena is my little munchkin with the cutest fat bum and blond hair and hazel eyes with dad's olive skin. But if they are asleep, they look like id.

And yes we get the, I still cant tell them apart" from friends and family

 

Sorry here is the other photo

http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh140/b...photos123-1.jpg

 

I don't even think my girls look like sisters so I'm always surprised when someone asks if they are identical! Meara has dark brown hair and bright blue eyes, and Ana has light brownish/red hair and hazel eyes. Their facial features and body types are very different too (even though they are always about the same size when we go to the doctor!).

I had a funny experience in Target a few months ago. A family with 6 year old g/g twins was talking to me. One of little girls was coo-ing at my girls and the dad asked me "Are they identical?" And his daughter replied "NO!" And I said "Thats right, they are fraternal." The dad asked his DD "How did you know that?" and she replied "Duh! They don't look alike at all!" That 6 year old was smarter than most people I talk to!

ETA a link to a picture: http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc66/ll...undrybasket.jpg

 

That's funny, I think most of the pictures posted look so similar but I'm not the mom! It's just funny because you guys are saying "they look nothing alike" and I open the link and they look SO much alike to me!! lol

Here are my "they look nothing alike" fraternal girls

I couldn't figure out how to edit so am just adding a link that will hopefully get you to see my girls. This is from this am. I tried to get one of the 2 of them together but didn't have sucess. Evie likes to close her eyes!!! I added one that you can sort of see the two of them while they were playing fire fighters with their brother the other day!
As I look at yours I still think they all look so much alike! LOL

LOL Your girls dont look anything alike either. I remember your post several months ago about the results of the placenta tests... I certainly dont think you need the DNA done, but I remember argueing because I just have a fit when DRs tell moms that their kids are frats just dependant on the placenta tests... but all that aside, I agree they def. have to be Frat! I think it is funny how they look like eachother at 6 months, thanks for sharing.

 

My frat boys look like a combo of my DH and I but don't really looks like each other as you can tell in my signature

 

Mine are both girls. Different hair (color, thickness and degree of wave), different noses/eyes/brows/ears/cheekbones/jawlines/lips/teeth, different body types, different feet/toes--even different little tushies.

 

Aside from the blond hair and blue eyes, mine look different! They just look like siblings.

Halloween

It is funny though how we as mothers think they look nothing alike and the outside world thinks we're crazy!

 

I think my boys look nothing alike! Roman looks like me, or like one of my siblings. Joel looks like my husband (exactly like him) (of course, my hubby and I both have almond shaped eyes and full lips and light-colored hair, so maybe they do look a little alike. Heck, maybe my hubby and I look alike!)

Here's my little ones:

I'm so glad other have frats that look nothing alike.
Jonah looks just like me and Noah like my DH. We laugh when people tell us they can't tell them apart... because one has brown eyes, olive skin coloring and black hair and the other has brown hair, green eyes and is more peachy in color.
We understand more when people tell us they think one is a girl and the other a boy.

tell me what you think

I def. see the differences... especialy in the coloring.. but I also see family resemblance... I guess I think at least they look like brothers!!

wow for newbies I can def tell their differences and usually I am horrible with the brand new babies... thanks for sharing.

 

We assume our girls are frat since we can easily tell them apart but we get comments about them looking identical all the time. One is a pound heavier than the other and they have different facial features. Occasionally I will look at a picture of one of them and it will take me a minute to figure out who it is, but that doesn't happen often.

What really gets me is when someone asks if they are id, and we answer that we think they are frat but not 100% sure. So many people laugh and ask "what do mean you aren't sure? You haven't figured it out yet?". They act like we are idiots for not knowing. Then they "educate" us on how ids are in one sac and frats are in two. DH works at a high school and ran into a biology teacher the other day who ended up giving him a mini-lecture on the subject that was full of misinformation. It would be fine if they just asked why we don't know, but they act like we are stupid when in fact they are the ones who are ignorant on the subject. Ok, vent over.
