The nurses from the nicu said that they thought the girls might be identical, but they look sooo different to me. It may just be the differenc in their weight - Meaghan weighed 3 lbs 8 oz at birth and Eireann weighed 3 lbs 13 oz - they are now 16 weeks and Eireann continues to be 18 oz larger than her sister - anyone have any info they can share on the topic??? My boys are different sizes and they were identical. In our case, it was due to twin-to-twin transfusion (one little fellow got more blood than the other). So they were born at 34 weeks at 3.5 and 4.5 pounds. Now at 2 years they are still pretty different in size. To some degree because the larger little guy just seems to be a bigger little piggy compared to his smaller brother. People still have difficulty telling them apart. Quite frankly I don't worry about it. I more worry about them being jealous of each other and being able to find their own individual space and identity. |
