It's supposed to be rare. I mean one in a million kind of rare. But for the second time in a week, we've got the births of three identical babies to report here on the 'Derby.
This time it's a set of bouncing baby boys, born via Cesarean to Kerry and Desmond Lyons of Irvington, NY, on Friday, the day Hannah reported on identical twin girls born to a mom who was on the pill at time of conception. The Lyons have a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old at home, and were another couple who required no help on the fertility path.
They were trying for just one more, which means a bigger car and a bigger house are probably in the cards for the Lyons. More pressing right now is trying to tell the boys apart. Kerry's answer is a little bit of nail polish on the pinky toe.
I'd be worried more about breastfeeding three with just two boobs or carrying three with just two arms, but we all have different priorities. And I can feel their pain - looking back at pictures of my twin uncles when they were any younger than 5 or 6, I have trouble telling them apart - and they're fraternal, not identical! I may never know if I'm really talking to Uncle Mike . . . or Uncle Bill.
