They're different...


Jun Lee & Jun Yen

Many people have asked if Jun Lee and Jun Yen are identical or fraternal twins. The obgyn didn't want to say anything definite on the subject and remarked that the only sure way that we'd know was when they grew older and we could see if they look really alike (or not).

The nuchal scan we did in the 11th week with a different obgyn indicated they were fraternal. Don't ask me how they see lah, but she did mention something about the sacs, something or other...

At this point though I'd have to say they look and behave really differently. Jun Lee moves a lot, stretches a lot, makes a lot of noise (mostly gurglings and soft cries). Jun Yen on the other hand is more restful, but if disturbed, oh boy... will bawl with a volume totally disproportionate to her size! She also loves to be held.

Of course appearance wise they're also very different. Aside from the rather obvious difference in size, our family has come to be able to tell them apart from features (not always easy with babies, and twins at that...)
