Re: Hello! New to this group - to Nikki

Hey Nikki... glad you replied to my posting. Congratulations!!! I

read that your insurance company will offer coverage for Connor's

treatment. Those are great news!!!

They told us that the twins are fraternal because they were inside

two different sacs and each one had his own placentae. I've read

that, in identical twins, is very rare to have these conditions...

but it could happen. Sometimes I look at the twins and I can

recognize who's who by their head shape. After Ignacio's head

becomes round I don't know what I will do...:-)

I read your twins are 8 months old. I've heard that the sooner you

start treatment the better... but they have told me that most

treatments start around 7 months old because the growing slows a

little bit and minimizes the possibility of outgrowing the band. So

you're not as late as you think. Connor will round up in no time...

you'll see.

Well I won't bother you with my chit chat... but I guess we can keep

in touch to exhange info about treatment and, specially,

the " adventure of twin parenting " .
