Thanks to everyone that helped us pick names! We really appreciated all the comments and suggestions (please don't be offend if we did not take yours). We have decided on naming the twins Connor James and Cayden Asa Martin.

We also just found out yesterday that they are infact identical twin bothers! Wooo! YAY!

Thanks!

Oh, i love them :-D

How do you find out if they are identical? I didnt think you could find out till they were born...surely that involved dna testing?

Well, it's of course not 100% without DNA testing. But from an ultrasound you can pretty clearly see how they are separated (two amnions or one) and also by chorions (the outer layer of the sac that contains the fetus). My babies are in their own amnion (the inner membrane surrounding the sac of amniotic fluid), but are in one chorion "sac". If they were fraternal they would be in two of each. (Apparently, but again it is not 100% until birth)
