Tommy and Cole are Identical!

Kevin and I decided to have the boys DNA tested after much debate. So many people had asked us if they were identical, that we were starting to question it ourselves. (Actually, there are times when even we confuse them! ) The boys had separate placentas which usually means that the twins are fraternal. However, there is a 30% chance that identical twins will actually have seperate placentas. For this to occur the egg has to split within the first 48 hours.

We had lots of bets placed with some pretty high stakes. Fancy dinners, assistance in painting rooms in our house - the works! Well after two weeks of waiting, the results came back positive!! The boys had no variations in their DNA -- meaning they are identical. The perfect match! Here was our Valentines Day announcement.
