At just 5 feet 3 inches, this Minnesota mom has her hands full with more than 40 pounds of babies.
The girls weighed six pounds each at birth and have continued to grow into the healthy, happy babies they are today, according to LaRue, who said her fiancé, the girls' father, is 5 feet, 11 inches tall."They’re very calm babies and they’re not very needy and I think it’s because they have each other," she said."They're super energetic and they're just very good babies.
LaRue, a stay-at-home mom, started sharing videos on TikTok when she first learned she was pregnant with twins in order to interact with other moms of twins.She started sharing videos of Camila and Elena once they were born, and said they attract attention not only online, but wherever they go in-person too.
"Literally anywhere we go, I always get stopped," said LaRue."A lot of people say, ‘There’s no way those are your babies,’ because I’m so small and they’re pretty big. People ask all the time to see a picture of me when I was pregnant, and people make comments all the time that I’m so small and I have big babies."
Though the comments left on social media are overwhelmingly positive, LaRue said she does see some negative comments about the babies' size. "What helps me is I know their pediatrician isn’t concerned," she said. But it’s important that we talk about not body-shaming babies because they’re people too and they come in all shapes and sizes."
