tomorrow's our big U/S
This board is slow and I'm bored, so here's a clicky poll.
It's a little early so I'm hoping we'll be able to see the sexes (and of course that they're both healthy). We know they're fraternal.

Re: tomorrow's our big U/S
How fun! We had friends in the same boat last year. Their u/s was Christmas Eve and put the results in a sealed envelope. They saved it until CHristmas morning and then shared with family.
FTR, it was boy-boy twins.
I can't wait!
Have you seen the Pinterest idea of the balloons in the box? That would be a fun way to find out!
I voted boy/girl, but now I'm thinking boy/boy. Mostly because after having 1 of each I think I'd personally only be able to handle twin boys, if twins at all! Which is why it's a good thing I don't have any.

I actually plan on doing the balloons in the box. I'm hoping to get them to write it down and then let Addie open the box later. I figure it's the last time I'll find out the sex of babies inside me so I'll do it big and cheesy. I haven't told my family because I know they'll mock me for doing it but if I just go ahead and do it no one will say anything. (like baby names-no one mocks to your face when they are here!).
I would love boy/girl, Addie would have a sister and we'd still have a boy. Boy/Boy is fine. Girl/Girl terrifies me!
Suzi G-based on their seperate sacs and seperate everything else you can tell they're fraternal.
Oh yay! Please please please post pictures! I wish I had done the super cheesy stuff and now I have to live vicariously through others.

maybe I'm not sure why, but the dr and u/s tech have said many times they are def fraternal. Maybe something to do the with the eggs produced and what we could see later combined with the seperateness?
ETA: identical can have seperate sacs but the same other stuff. The mo/mo, di/di, mo/di thing is still confusing to me. It has to do with what they share and how. We're lucky they are fraternal because they wont' have many of the complications ID twins can have.
I'm sure they can tell more since you were going through fert treatment w/ frequent ultrasounds. Knowing how many eggs you popped and where they implanted is probably a dead giveaway. I hope you get one of each, I think that's what I would want, you avoid all the matchy-matchy lack of identity issues that way.
This!
