Fraternal twins come from two eggs being released at the same time. Identical twins are one egg that splits.

I know. And I guess I should take more time before saying stuff because people keep explaining basic things to me lately. I must be coming across as really really blonde. I thought we were talking about identical twins born two months apart, but I could've missed something in the skim. Also, I slept poorly, so I could've just made it up, since it sounded good to my hazy brain.

Matt, they go into absolutely no detail on that. No description (quite pointedly, really) is made of former clients.

ita, I would point out, though, that based on pricing, his clients would kind of have to be a bit well to do.

Huh. Designer has informed me that she doesn't have the font I need, sorry! Our billing person is hounding me, and I don't want to even look at her e-mails until I find out if my boss has informed her of the change HE made in my process of submitting things for billing! I just got a call from an account exec in Chicago, and she's going to have a bunch of people in New York give me a ring because apparently none of them know how to open Photoshop files!

Homicidal rage just shot back up into stratosphere.

And my phone is ringing. GRAAAAAARGH.

I wonder if Jess is around. I'd love to see some pictures of her new haircut.

They would, Ali, but nothing about the pretty which is the hard part.

shrift, let's switch jobs for a week or so. I'll answer your phone and emails with "I am sorry, she's not available, I'd be happy to take a message or transfer you to someone else - the Dr. said she should be back after a week or two of bedrest." and you can do the same for me.

Huh. Designer has informed me that she doesn't have the font I need, sorry!

Because that would be silly! It's like the Handbook People who would like me to include a very complex Excel spreadsheet in the handbook, but didn't think they actually had an electronic copy of it.

You planning to suggest they try double-clicking?

Identical doesn't seem possible since they weren't in the same uterus. But then I've never had a reason to find out when/where the egg split happens for idents, so I guess I could be wrong.

If they were conceived separately, from ovulation in different months, I'd say they were brothers -- very, very close in age brothers -- rather than twins. if they were conceived at ther same time and the eggs just split up that way, I'd say still twins

Only, the first case just shouldn't happen -- ovulation stops when you're pregnant, unless something is really weird. (I'm not saying something isn't in this case -- I mean, beyond the whole two uteri thing -- but the article doesn't go into a whole lot of detail.) I'd assumed twins also based on their birthweights -- the first was 3 lbs something, and the second normal weight, which seems about right for one being born prematurely.

Huh. Interesting stuff, either way. But my gut feeling is still going back to "the poor woman carried them both".
