More of the little twin stars....

Both twins are back at home since Friday. Vernette came home first on Thu, 7 Aug followed by Vernise on Fri, 8 Aug. So far so good... they are feeding well and sleeping well. Going to the pediatrician this Friday for a check up, and it'll be the twins first outing since coming home from the hospital.

Can you recognise who is who? I can't.... ahahahahha...neither can Paul!!

Took the photo and forgot to write down who's on the left and who's on the right.... hehehehee....but my guess is Vernette is on the left and Vernise is on the right.

We do not know "scientifically" if they are fraternal(non-identical) or identical twins. During ultrasound before the twins were born, the doctor said they are fraternal. During surgery, my gynae couldn't decipher from the placenta. The pediatrician feels that they are identical. But, without an actual lab test, we'll never know until they get older and when they do look alike, they are identical.




Anyways, confinement here in Singapore is horrendous!! How i miss the cooling and dry days in Phoenix. No buckets of perspiration and uncomfortness. But this time around... there is no pain to the wound... thank God. Didn't see many stretch marks so far... but will never know till later.
Can't wait for the confinement period to end and i can start putting on my magic oil.... to prevent the marks ever appearing!!

maybe u need to tie a ribbon somewhere to differentiate them? I was taught this by someone who had many pairs of twins running in her family.

I feel oh-so-in-sync with your feelings about confinement here! The weather's still horrendous, thot it should be cooler now in August.

Haa haa haa... and to think that it's been raining over here in the west almost everyday. And the sky's been gloomy. Yet it's still hot!!! And you have another week in confinement longer than me!! Hahahahahaha
