Since we found out we were having fraternal twins my fear (and I use the term fear lightly) has always been that they will be soo different they won’t even look like siblings, much less twins. Once we found out they were both boys, that fear doubled. If you have ever seen me and my husband, you know there is a Vast height difference between us – 15 inches to be exact, he’s 6’5 and I’m 5’2 on a good day. So in reality it’s not that I’m worried about the boys not looking like siblings, that would just help create their individuality. Its the fact that I’m worried they will end up like this…
I think I would feel horrible if we had one boy that took after Jonathan and one that took after me, like the above image. Can you imagine how that would effect their lives. Introducing them as twins and people laugh or chuckle and say “they can’t possibly be twins.” Now a couple of inches in their height difference would be ok, that’s typical between siblings.
All kidding aside, if my boys end up looking like the two in the picture above, I would be just fine…because no matter how tall or short they are, they are my boys and they are how God created them!
