When they find out you&#8217;re having multiples, the questions increase exponentially by the number of babies gestating in your uterus. And, when those babies finally arrive and you take them out and about, people have even more questions!<\/p>\n<h3>As A Twin Mom, Always Be Prepared To Answer The Following Questions:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Are they twins?<br \/>\n<\/em>No, they&#8217;re triplets&#8230;oh my gosh, have you seen their brother?!<\/li>\n<li><em>Are they identical?<br \/>\n<\/em>No.<\/li>\n<li><em>They look the same. Are you sure they aren&#8217;t identical?<br \/>\n<\/em>Yes.<\/li>\n<li><em>How do you know they aren&#8217;t identical?<br \/>\n<\/em>They have different blood types. And hair colors. And eye colors.<\/li>\n<li><em>Are they &#8220;natural?&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em>No, actually we made them from MSG and Red Dye #40 in our garage.<\/li>\n<li><em>You had a c-section, right?<br \/>\n<\/em>Yes, because they tried their hardest to come out feet first&#8230;not because they are twins.<\/li>\n<li><em>Are you getting any sleep?<br \/>\n<\/em>They&#8217;ve slept 10 hrs straight every night since the day we brought them home. Why? Do you think I look tired?<\/li>\n<li><em>Are they your first?<\/em><br \/>\nAnd second.<\/li>\n<li><em>Will you have any more?<br \/>\n<\/em>I&#8217;m due in 8 months!<\/li>\n<li><em><em>How do you tell them apart?<\/em><br \/>\n<\/em>I can&#8217;t really, each morning I just pick one to be Amelia and one to be Reese&#8230;surely it will balance out eventually.<\/li>\n<li><em>Do twins run in your family?\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\nThey can&#8217;t even walk yet&#8230;but they&#8217;ll probably run some day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In all honesty I don&#8217;t mind the questions &#8211; I&#8217;m so proud of these two that it makes me really happy other people are interested in them!
