8 weeks 5 days - identical mono/di twins

I'm carrying identical twins. I am a fraternal twin and my husband's father is a twin who had twins and his twin had twins. (New research shows there is an enzyme in some mens sperm that causes an egg to split, so the male side can be involved:) Plus, I'm 40. I'm just shocked that they are identical! I am already popping after an insatiable hunger that requires me to eat 4 times what I am used to. What an incredible experience for my first child(ren)... I am due in March 2011.
