Hospital bracelets..

Need to come off as they will soon be cutting off circulation and can I just say I'm scared!!! I relaxed so much while pregnant about them being ID. Then I thought we would be able to tell a difference long before bracelets need to be cut. Well they spent the first 3weeks in the NICU and I saw them once a day! Theyre the same size, same length, same everything. I'm painting a toe nail tomorrow. That will help until they get a bit bigger.

 

Good luck.. our girls are identical but luckily one of them has a small skin tag next to her ear so we can tell the difference. Their face shape is a little different too. When we first brought them home we kept them on certain sides of the crib and gave them different colored pacifiers which helps too.

 

Ear shape is a good indicator. Look for differences in the edge. Jessy has elf ears with little points off both ears!

 

You will do just fine. People still have a hard time telling our girls apart but i have no issue telling which is which. Not only that but my husband, although had no issues in the beginning, has issues now LOL.

 

Our one boy has a red mark on his eyelid. Now, one is pudgier!

 

Man I complain about the difference between mine but I know it makes.it easier. One of my boys has a lot more hair and is well over a pound bigger

 

I was brave and polished Matthew's toenail then cut off their bracelets the other day. Today was the first day I had to double check the nail to make sure I had the right baby.

 

I'm sure it will get easier for you!

 

Sometimes I wonder if we mixed up our babies shortly after they were born and they are fraternal (I am pretty sure). LOL!! So you guys with identicals I don't know how you do it!!!
