Shannon Tarkey | Large Family Mom on Instagram: "Brooklyn has always been at least 4 inches taller than her triplet siblings since she was born. She weighed a lot more than them at birth, and one of their NICU nurses always commented that Brooklyn seemed so much older than the other 2 triplets. Turns out- she technically could be older than Aubrey and Caleb! I've never told this story, but before we found out we were expecting triplets I took an early pregnancy test and was so excited to see that it was positive! A few days later I took another one to confirm and it was negative. I was a little confused and sad, but figured we'd try again next month. 2 months later we confirmed that not only were we expecting, but we were expecting triplets! I thought about my previous "false positive," and always thought it was weird. Turns out Brooklyn could have possibly been conceived a month or 2 before Aubrey and Caleb- meaning I could've already been pregnant with her and conceived fraternal twins even while pregnant. It is very rare, but it definitely can happen! Obviously we'll never know for sure, and of course fraternal multiples can always look completely different + be different heights, but I've always found this pretty fascinating! #triplets #tripletsofinstagram #fraternaltriplets #twins #tripletmom #twinmom #fraternaltwins #momofmultiples #fraternalmultiples #twinsandmultiples #tripletmum" | Zootzle
