I've seen the "identical twins" angle too often to ignore the possibility and so I looked into it to decide whether or not it's actually possible and what it would cost (ficwise). My personal decision: way too much! ;)
The growth schedule is something I'd be cautious about. Growth is affected by a lot of things: food, amount of work, stress, exposure to chemicals... It's also not so that males have to get proportionally larger than their non-identical twin sister in every case. There's a not well understood genetic component, which may have expressed more strongly in the girl than in her brother. :)
