Twins fascinate me. My Mom is a twin, and I love to ask her about her strange connection with her sister. They buy each other the same birthday presents every year. They know when something is bothering the other, though they live several hundred kilometers apart. They have a connection, an intangible one, undeterred by space and time. I can't tell their voices apart, though they aren't totally identical anymore they are most definitely cut from the same cloth.

These twin boys don't look anything alike, but they are fascinating nonetheless. Little Byron Ryman and his even littler brother Lincoln were born a minute apart, but Byran was three times bigger than his twin. (Byron weighed 3 pounds, 6 ounces, and Lincoln less than 1 pound, 8 ounces) The boys were eleven weeks premature, as their Mother was induced because of problems with her pregnancy. The boys had a medical condition, known as twin-to-twin transfusion, detected early in their Mother's pregnancy, prompting medical intervention that could impact both boys' ability to survive outside the womb.

Though Lincoln was initially given slim chances of survival, he was a "fighter" and at 5 weeks old, both twins are now doing well.

Their jubilant Mom is looking forward to bringing them both home soon.
