The answer?  Will is on the left and is number 52, Joe is number 54.

I’m impressed that Tanya was looking for Joe’s mole, I didn’t think it was visible.

I *will* tell you more about how we tell them apart, but I don’t have time right now….

I will tell you that when the boys were tiny, we always put Will on the LEFT for pictures, so we could tell relatives which was which, and so that we could tell when we were old and trying to look at the pictures ourselves.  Pictures in which there is only 1 baby?  We have a hard time telling on some of them….

Thanks for playing along, I’ll write more of our story over the next few days/week.

And now….I’ve got to go feed these hungry monsters (a never ending battle.  Gah.)

There is still time to guess in yesterday’s contest — I’ll do a random drawing this afternoon (5PM CST).  My favorite answers so far are “fric and frac” and “thing 1 and thing 2″ — both quite appropriate.  I’ll have to do a count of how many of you guessed one way vs. the other.

I think I’ve told you this before, but the boys are NOT identical twins.  They are, in fact, fraternal.  (Two eggs, two sperm, two placentas, two babies.  If they’d been identical, there would have only been one placenta).  I don’t know if you’ll find this boring or interesting, but I thought I’d do some posts about (A) giving birth to twins and (B) parenting twins.  I’ll leave out the gross parts of the birth story, but I’m guessing you’ll have to put up with some gross parts in the parenting twins part of the story.
