Charlie O'Connell

Double dressing? Lots of moms outfit their adorable duos in identical attire, but actress Rebecca Romijn isn't one of them. When we asked if she dressed her daughters alike, she said:

I like to coordinate them, but I don't like to match them. It's funny because I know they are seconds away from having very strong opinions on what they wear so I'm taking advantage of these last few months where I dress them how I want. I usually give them choices and say, "Do you want to wear this or that?" and they pick.

The model mom said comfort and ease are the priorities when outfitting Dolly and Charlie O'Connell. The twins also like to check out what apparel their mama is sporting — especially her shoe selection! Seventy-one percent of LilSugar readers aren't fans of family dressing, but what's your opinion on multiples dressed to match?

Check out the secret Rebecca and her husband are keeping from their twins and her answers to our four Lil questions on motherhood!

Rebecca Romijn is 16 months into motherhood and enjoying the first leg of the lifelong journey with twin daughters Dolly and Charlie O'Connell. "There's nothing dainty or delicate about these girls," the actress said during our recent interview. "But they are little princesses and we love them so much," she added. The former model and her husband, actor Jerry O'Connell are keeping their children's birth order under wraps, but she was candid when it came time to chat about being a mom.

LilSugar: Fill in the blank. You know you’re a mother when ____.
Rebecca Romijn: You know you're a mother when you feel yourself into the embrace of your baby for the first time and it's immediate. It happens as soon as they're born and it's an honor.

LilSugar: Fill in the blank. Why didn’t anybody tell me _____ about motherhood?
Rebecca Romijn: Why didn't anybody tell me that it continues to be really, really hard. Everyone kept telling me, "Oh don't worry after three months it gets so much easier" and then people go, "After eight months it gets so much easier". I haven't experienced when it gets easier and I have a feeling with twins it's going to be when they are a little bit older.

Dolly and Charlie O'Connell's parents are keeping a big secret! Rebecca Romijn and her husband Jerry may live public lives, but their 16-month-old daughters are no different from other tots — except they will likely never know which twin is older! We had the opportunity to chat with the model, actress, and mother yesterday while she was promoting Huggies' denim diapers. When asked about the personality differences between her darling duo, she said:

This may sound strange, but we decided before they were born — I had a c-section so they both came out at the same time — that they wouldn't know which one was born first. Technically, one did come out first, but we feel like a lot of twins get to brag —"I was born five minutes earlier. I was born first." and the truth is they shared the womb. We're also curious to see if the one who is older naturally takes on that first sibling role. On their birth certificates, they were born in the same minute. It was a conversation we had with the doctor before they were even born and so far it's worked out pretty well. They are both extremely strong willed and neither of them seems to be in charge of the other at all. They are young and developing their personalities and their relationship with each other so they don't need to know that information. Maybe when they are much older we'll tell them.

Jerry O'Connell took a trip to a grocery store in Calabasas, CA, earlier this week with his twin girls, Charlie and Dolly. He's had lots of time to bond with his daughters since their birth last December, especially with Rebecca off working on Eastwick — Buzz just took a closer look at her show's upcoming pilot episode here. Jerry's going to be a working parent soon too, as he's just enrolled in law school and has already started taking night classes.
