I've heard that men can't pass down female genetic traits (since they don't have them themselves), but I'm also not a doctor/scientist who has researched this, so I'm won't pretend to be an expert!

So my husband had no roll in our fraternal girlies but I got the gene through my mom's dad's side of the family.<br /><br />Every pregnancy in the family someone would make a comment about "oh it's going to be twins" even with my ODD that comment was made.

And that there is such a thing as mirror image identical twins where they are mirror opposites of each other? And that even though you may have a boy and a girl, people will still ask you if they're identical??? And lastly, even though we're in our (ahem) forties, people will still ask "which one's older?".... how annoying is that?<br />xxoo<br />C + CThe Buzz Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338886753209532597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-70809406448890229702012-10-23T21:00:27.440+01:002012-10-23T21:00:27.440+01:00Congratulations!

I was always terrified that I would get the twin gene since, for most of my life, I had no desire to have kids. Now that I'm engaged to be married and the thought of babies excites me this twin thing was always in the back of my mind. I figured since I didn't really WANT kids that I would be the one that ends up with twins lol. BUT it's reassuring to know that the twin gene is passed down by females...and no females have twins in my family. It stopped at my Pop-pop. I feel safe....well....more safe. Anything could still happen lol.<br /><br />Congratulations again! This must be so exciting!!<br />Shannon Knowltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495389757646825796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-76953446140012552292012-10-23T17:41:01.715+01:002012-10-23T17:41:01.715+01:00fun FAQ! my best friend has a fraternal twin and t...fun FAQ! my best friend has a fraternal twin and they are absolutely adorable - COMPLETE opposites personality-wise, but seriously one cannot live without the other. it's the best :)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720694596549999667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-69303471236548928692012-10-23T17:26:29.308+01:002012-10-23T17:26:29.308+01:00Thanks for the twin facts!
