Dizygotic

My boys are dizygotic twins, meaning they are fraternal. Having dizygotic twin boys naturally at my age is very uncommon. Having dizygotic twins usually occurs in women over 35. Male-male being the least common. It is the mother who has the effect on any chance of having dizygotic twins. It was also spontaneous, meaning they don't run in our family. How did this happen? I don't know, but I'm so glad it happened to me.

Because they are fraternal, they were not put in the same bed in the NICU, and this is the first time they have done this:
It lasted for just 40 minutes, and it was beautiful and magical. And they woke up and played.
