Thank you, and no they're fraternal, but people do say they look a lot a like... personally I can't see it, they look completely different to me, but then I am with them 24/7 lol!! x

 

[corrie anne]

They do look alike from the pics but i can see some differences in the two. But i have seen differences in identicals too like high.
They are beautiful though!!!!!

Awww what a great thread

 

[Anna1982]

lovely pictures ladies
and so great to see it can be ok when born early, my main worry this time is pre term labor

 

[weeli_excited]

this thread is extemly heart warming and i being a preemie 2 weeks early really see the love that a mother has urges the LO's to be well so can take them home. my mum had a mini stroke so i was born early but also my mum had another mini stroke a week after i was born so we were both lucky and were both still here 19 years on xxx
