Do your kids have that twin (or triplet/quad) thing?

Since the babies were born, they have had a ton of similarities and I'm starting to think it's odd, but maybe it's a twin thing.  They weight exactly the same at birth (1 lb 13 oz) and are still the same weight (2 lb 10 oz), they were the same length and are still the same length, both on the same amount of oxygen (2 liters, 21%), their isolettes are the same temperature and it's very common for their heartbeat and oxygen saturation to be the same.  I find this all to be very odd.  Obviously, they aren't identical because they're boy/girl, so it can't be that.

 Did you notice these similarities from the start?  I'm looking forward to watching them interact when they're a bit older and seeing if they have "twin things."

Yep! Same birth weight and length. Stayed the same until 4 months and suddenly J jumped up an extra pound! In my belly and the NICU, their heart rates were often synced up. Kind of sweet that they're in tune with each other. Hope your LOs are doing wel

Mine have always been different sizewise, but they have so many mannerisms in common and are often in sync with each other in other ways....waking up at the same time, getting sleepy at the same time, spitting up at the same time lol. It is fun to watch..

Mine have always been the same way, at birth they were 1 oz apart, everything has always been almost identical.  They are ID so that might have something to do with it, but I love watching all the 'twin things' develop.  Yay for your peanuts

My fraternal boys were 1oz apart. At their first pedi appt they were still one oz apart and baby A caught up to Baby B in length. They make the same sounds and grunts. Their hbs were always in synch while pg. they wake, sleep, and eat at the same time.

My b/g twins seem to be as different as night and day.  DD is a night owl and would love to stay up late and sleep all morning if we let her.  On the other hand, DS is an early bird.  He has to be in bed by 8:30 or he is a monster a

They were 4oz apart at birth but are now the exact same weight and maintaining that closeness.
