Congratulations, Kat! That's such exciting news!

My twin sister and I are fraternal and nobody has ever had an issue telling us apart--mostly because I'm bigger than she is but also because I have brown hair and she has blonde hair. I feel sort of like a giant, cloddish moster next to her because she's so wee

My mom is a fraternal twin, and they are much like this. Mom is 5'9"; her sister is 5'3" or 4". Their names are very similar, though, and when dad started dating mom, he could never remember the name of the twin he was dating. So, he'd go hang out with his friends before calling her or going on a date so they'd ask what he and mom were doing (and use her name). That way he wouldn't call her by the wrong name.

Yes. He's a dork.

Happy Birthday Shrift!

Yay Kat and Lori! One of my co-workers has twin toddlers, and the thing about them that always fascinated me the way they communicate. Ever since they were infants, they've always communicated with coos and cries. Now that they're talking, one still sometimes translates what the other is saying for their parents.

Oops! I was so excited to see the Kat and Lori news that I didn't say, "Happy Birthday, shrift!" So, Happy Birthday, shrift!

Congratulations to Kat & Lori!

Happy Birthday to Shrift!

Yay for my wireless finally working again!

Congratulations to Kat & Lori!

I didn't talk until I was 3 because my twin spoke for me. Yes, she's a lawyer now.

Happy Birthday, Shrift! May there be cake!

So delighted to say congrats to Kat and Lori! You are going to be wonderful parents. Lori needs to consult with Gud on the spaceship building project. And she totally needs to post an ultrasound.

I loved the ultrasounds. The whole pregnancy thing was a wonder to me. It is surprising I didn't sit around with a stethoscope listening to the heartbeat all day. Once I could feel the boys kicking I wanted to poke them when they settled down. Most fascinating to grow humans.

Thank you Kat & Lori for contributing to Buffista World Domination!

Hee. I probably would have done something like that if I had twins.

We have a number of twins in our family. It is nice to see the bond they have in life. I'm close to my sibs, but the link they have is clearly unique.

Hooray Kat and Lori and wee shrimplets!

Happy Birdies, Shrift!

We're Lori Kaye & Lisa Faye.

OMG!! My mom and aunt are fraternal twins and they are E. Kaye and B. Faye!!!! I have never heard of anyone else with that set of rhyming names.
