Here are some interesting numbers I recently heard...
1 in 800 = the chance of having a child with Down syndrome
1 in 300 = the chance of having identical twins
1 in 240,000 = the chance of having identical twins with Down syndrome
That's approximately 12 sets of identical twins with Down syndrome in the US per year (out of about 4,000,000 births)
1 in 4 = the chance of identical twins being mirror image twins
SO, the chance of me having my boys -- mirror image, identical twins with Down syndrome is most closely calculated at:
1 IN A MILLION!

... I knew they were special!
But, it's nice to have the numbers to back up my claim!
