They each had their own sack but there was one placenta. I am in the process of looking into things a little more but the reason for their size and color difference at birth is due to a disorder of the placenta called "Twin to twin transfusion." One twin, the donor (Alex) gives to the recipient (Jordan). This would mean that Jordan had more fluid and blood at birth and Alex would have had less. They appear healthy now and their weight has substantially become more similar so I just have to find out if they are at a risk at this point. Each day they look more and more alike. It will be so interesting to watch them as they grow and change!
Oh wow! How exciting!
ReplyDeletenow you watch for little things that will make each one unique. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is really exciting! It will just be so neat to see the two boys grow up and see their different personalities. I'm sure they'll get their mom by switching outfits, etc. ... lol.
