Tɪɴʏ mom poses with big ᴛᴡɪɴ girls, netizens can’t believe they are her daughters

A new mum has told of the ᴜɴᴜsᴜᴀʟ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴ she faced after sharing a video of her holding her ᴛᴡɪɴ girls online. Alexis LaRue, 22, went ᴠɪʀᴀʟ after posing with her seven-month-old ᴛᴡɪɴs, with viewers left sᴛᴜɴɴᴇᴅ at their size. She was ᴀᴄᴄᴜsᴇᴅ of overfeeding the girls – who are both 21lbs – and had to share a video of her weighing her babies to prove their size. Alexis, from Minneapolis–Saint Paul in Minnesota, U.S.A, weighed 108lbs (49kg) and 5’3″ before she became ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ, but at 38 weeks along she’d increased to 180lbs (82kg

She ɢᴀᴠᴇ ʙɪʀᴛʜ to her baby girls in March with Camila arriving at 9:52 am weighing 6lbs 6oz and Elena one minute later at 6lbs 7oz. Now, at nearly seven months old, the cute tots have already tripled their ʙɪʀᴛʜ weight at almost 21lbs each. Alexis said: “They just really seem to enjoy trying new foods. Whenever I am eating something, they always stare at me as if they’re waiting for me to give them some.”

Though her fiancé, Leo Mejia, 23, is certainly taller than her at 5’11”, Alexis was not expecting her baby girls to be quite so big. she said: “In the ᴛᴡɪɴ community, it’s pretty normal to expect babies around 5 lbs. or less. I had already bought preemie-sized clothes for the ᴛᴡɪɴs, as I thought they were going to be very small.” She added: “However, with the combined weight of almost 13 lbs., the girls went straight into newborn and have been growing very rapidly since,” , calling them “fast growers.” They are now in the 98th percentile for height and wear clothes for a 12-month to 18-month-olds
