i just went to the dr yesterday for a ultrasound because I've had some spotting. The dr hoped that with the u/s they could pinpoint why I was spotting. Well the u/s showed that everything looked great and that BOTH babies (surprise surprise) had strong heartbeats. I'm only 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. Baby A measured 6 1/2 weeks but baby B only measured 6 weeks 1 day. Why the difference? They are in separate sacs but I don't understand the difference in size. The dr said that with it being this early there is the chance of baby b doing the vanishing twin thing but he didn't really think that was gonna be the case because they both had really strong heartbeats. I go for another u/s in two weeks to check things out but does anyone know why there could be such a difference?

Being a Faternal Twin ( I have a twin sister) my guess is that by some strange coincidence you concieved twice, a few days apart.
This would indicate that the twins you are going to have are faternal twins and not Identicals. You may aslo find that in 2 weeks being about 8 weeks along they might be able to determine gender of the infants.
CONGRADULATIONS.

It all depends. I had boy/girl twins and they ended up 5 lbs 1 oz and 6 lbs 6 oz. They are different people and they develop at different rates.

Some women can ovulate twice at one month, days apart, or even a week or so, this really has happened. Twins with different gestational age is not unheard of.

They are just developing at different rates. And inspite of what some guy said, sex organs don't even develope until approximatly the 15th week, so there's no way you could find out the sex yet

Well 1 baby was concieved before the other just like one baby will come out before the other.
