    I know I'm not on here much, but I lurk alot! Seems like I hardly have time to post with these little guys and my older two! So, what do you think,. identical or fraternal?

    BTW, excuse my typing I'm nursing them n tyuping at the same time!

    Oh, and there is a color difference due to one boy losing more blood, so dont consider that part!

    I'm terrible at picking out these things, but I can say with confidence that your boys are adorable :wub:

    I have a really hard time with infants...as they get older, it seems like it easier to tell if they are ID or Frats. Post again in another month or so.

    They are are adorable, though! :wub:

    I am going to say ID based on the first photo, but definitely post more pictures when they are older. Or more pictures now if you can! They are adorable! Congrats!!!

    Oh I am only going to say 100% ADORABLE and HANDSOME LITTLE MEN! If you have a picture with their eyes open, might help a little. I don't get to play since mine are boy/girl, but congrats on the little cuties!

    They are so adorable & look a lot alike, but I agree that it may be a bit too early to tell. Give it a month or so & post again with more pictures!

    Oh...I'd love to play but I'm terrible with infants. My boys looked so different as infants, but as they got older, the similarities really came out. Post again with some "awake" pictures.

    It's so hard to tell with the little ones! I'm not sure!

    They are still so tiny! Super cute! Did they share a placenta?

    I vote ID. Start saving up for the test! It's worth it!

    We were sure our girls were fraternal. But when my DH caught me telling a stranger that they were identical (I was tired of explaining that we didn't think they were but didn't know for sure), we decided to pay. I was shocked to find out my two are identical.

    One web site said: if they're the same sex, same blood type, same coloring and strangers mix them up, they're probably identical. That's my new rule!

    Ahhh! I got busted! LOL, They are identical. I was just curious if it was obvious yet. There was only one placenta from the start, very mild TTTS beginning they developed before they delivered (weird case the doc never seen before, long story!), same blood type, very very thing membrane dividing a main sac (I think that's how they explained it...) and they performed some tests on the placenta and determined they are indeed identical. Only like a .01% chance they are not. Based on all the info the docs gave us and how certain they are, I'm not too worried about testing unless they start looking different! But for now, I cannot tell them apart for the life of me!
