HDBD!! 4/22

[Squishy622]

Hey all! I missed posting the pregnancy check-in on Monday since I was having my gallbladder surgery (all went well, babies did great, still in some pain but better every day). So I thought I'd get HDBD started today!

Here I am at 15w5d with mono/di girls:

Hello! 1st HDBD here. I am 15w2d with twins.

From this weekend. My boys just turned 19 months.
*poof*

23+4. I'm starting to feel quite huge and I'm a little worried about what's to come in the third tri!

Taken on my way to class in an elevator on campus this morning lol, I am as tired as I look. 29w2d with B/G twins.

Squishy622, glad to hear the surgery went well and that you are recovering!

Squishy622, Glad it went well!

Squishy- glad it went well! You ladies are looking great

See, they look so different to me in this photo. I swear I change my mind daily on whether I think they are ID or Frat. Doing the test next month!

mrsp419 Gosh they're adorable! Tough call, you'll have to let us know what the test says. Were they di/di?

[anotherdreamer]

mrsp419, That is a tough call! They look SO similar, but they also look like they may have different eyes/noses (could just be the expressions). Whenever you post their photos I wonder, because I couldn't remember if you said.

Lovely pics ladies. Im' so glad the surgery went well Squishy622 . I also wanted to add that I'm too lazy to post a pic right now but I'm at similar gestation to @feegan and my bump is a similar size (also measuring 6 weeks ahead as of today!). I feel so huge, can't believe I have (hopefully) 10 weeks to go! My babies were measuring 3 lbs each on the ultrasound today - yikes!

Just finished teaching my last class at the gym until I can return. 37w tomorrow! Fraternal b/g

Complete with another "facial expression" just for Squishy622

[mrsp419]

Squishy622, thanks! They were di/di (like very obviously). But they came out looking awfully similar and, unless someone told me incorrectly, the same rare blood type. They look alike enough to me to be possibly identical, and different enough to be fraternal. I am really anxious to know.
anotherdreamer, their noses look different, I think, because they have different smiles. Their eyes are the same color and I think a similar shape, but their faces are shaped a bit differently (round vs. oval), so their eyes are spaced differently. It is a tough call! Like I said, I change my mind every other day.
Some people think we are crazy for paying to find out since it does not necessarily *mean* anything, but I say they will think us for giving them an answer to something they will be asked every.single.day.

I think finding out is 100% important! Medically it can make a huge difference is (heaven forbid) one of them is ever ill when they are older. I met an adult twin this week and she admitted she didn't know if she and her sister were identical or fraternal and it bugged her all the time and planned on asking her husband for the test as a Christmas present this year. You are definitely doing the right thing - I'm sure you are anxious to hear the results!

SassyPants150, teaching at a class at 36 weeks? I don't think I could stand at 36 weeks. You are for sure my hero. Wow. And you look amazing!

Your girls definitely look very similar. I think their expressions are just different in this particular picture. If they look enough alike for you to question it, I think they're likely identical. I will be surprised if you find out they're fraternal.

Of course, this is coming from someone whose same-sex twins are very obviously fraternal.
