Identical Twin Boys!!!

Today (December 22) we found out the exciting news I have been waiting for since they were born- the boys are IDENTICAL TWINS!!! That question has been haunting me because I could never answer it when asked. I think the science nerd in me and working in Human Identity for 4 years got the best of me. Here is how it went down:

Yesterday morning I e-mailed Joellen (my friend still working at MPL) and asked her how much it would cost to get the DNA test done and when I could get it done. She e-mailed me that it was my lucky day and Dr. Miltenberger was out of the country and Patsy was going to ask Dr. Hubbard. She then e-mailed me that Patsy asked Dr. Hubbard and all I would have to pay is the supply cost!!! Love Dr. Hubbard!!! That evening Patsy came by with the collection kit and I collected the boys (brought back lots of memories) and she took it back to MPL the next day. I was hoping to get the results back by Christmas but Joellen had e-mailed me saying she was leaving tomorrow for vacation and it would be New Year's when I would hear something. That was OK- I told her not to feel rushed. Well, this afternoon around 2pm Joellen called me and said she had some free time today and ran the test. She said 'they are identical' that she had just pulled the data off. I would get an official report next week but she wanted to go ahead and call me!!! I am so excited because that was my Christmas wish. It would cost a little over $1,000.00 to get the results in one day!!! It's great to have connections!!! I did not care if they were fraternal or identical, but I just wanted to know either way. We are so blessed.
