    No clue but we think they are ID. Sometimes we cant tell them apart an have to look on the top of the heads cause E has a scratch on his hairline. Dev is a little chunkier by almost a pound. Has been since they were born.

    Mine are definately fraternal. (b/g) But some people who have no clue about twins do ask if they are identical right after they say oh how cool you have one of each........

    During the pregnancy, they thought perhaps it was just one placenta, but it turned out to be two fused so di/di. I don't know if they are identical. Last time I posted pictures of them, I believe everyone said ID, but I'll post some new ones to see what you all think. We do plan on getting them tested at some point.

    This next photo, I just cropped their eyes and noses. (Someone suggested doing this in another post).

    P.S. it's funny though, when people see them in person it's still a debate about a 1/3 say fraternal.

    Mine are fraternal, b/g twins. I am still asked if they are id though... LOL... my 8 year old tells them no because they have to be either 2 boys or 2 girls to be id huh mom. :wub: Molly is a strawberry blond with blue eyes and Stefan has dark blond with blue eyes, but at times they do look a lot a like.

    My boys both had their own everything and they are very identical. I was told they would be fraternal, but there is no way. They both have wavy blonde hair and blue eyes while my older two, my husband and myself all have brown hair and eyes.

    We def have id girls, they were mo/mo. There is a weight difference so some people say they don't look identical but we do have some pics where I can't tell! I love it when some people say "well Hannah looks more like you and Hailey looks more like Matt" ha. I'm going to try and put these links! The first two are two different babies! I know, it blows me away. Hailey is the one with her fist in her mouth.

    I'm in the not sure. Thought fraternal and then I did a post last month and almost everyone said id. I guess I'll get them test. Boys, same everything (hair color, eye color, weight (within 0.1-7 oz since birth), height, blood type, etc). They were di/di and I was told fused placenta.

    My vote is ID too!

    ok, here are mine.
    They were di/di, but do have the same blood type and there is about a 2 pound difference right now. The DNA results are pending. I am almost sure they are fraternal.

    I have so much trouble guessing when there is a weight difference, but my guess would be fraternal. Can't wait to see more pictures when they are older.

    The doctors wouldn't make a guess with ours. They had two of everything. But they look so much alike, same coloring, nearly same weights, same heights, same blood types. If I had to bet money, I would say our girls are ID. But we don't know for sure.

    I would say ID too!

    Don't know. They have a 25% chance of being identical and they do have the same blood type. Most people think they look a like...I don't know...will get a DNA test done at some point.

    Dianna

    Every picture I've seen of your boys I definitely see ID.

    I think we still need to see pictures from these two moms. I could be mistaken. I tried to look through all the posts.

    My boys are definitely frat. Roe has reddish blonde hair and dark blue eyes, and Joe has white-blonde hair and light blue eyes. They have completely different noses, and their mouths are totally different as well (although their lips are similar). Also, Roman's skin tone is more olive-y, whereas Joel is pasty white like me. (which is wild because Roman DEFINITELY got the olive from me, because I'm part Native American, and my pasty white hubby is norwegian)
