These Twins Are The Latest Hits On Instagram

Twin sisters Leia and Lauren are the latest internet celebrity babies with 207,000 followers on Instagram. The parents of the Singapore-based sisters opened an account on Instagram for their daughters. Peter Lok and Amber Young had no idea that their girls would turn out such hits on social media. Their aim was to simply document their journey of growing up together, and they thought that the social platform was just perfect to post the images for their family and friends and with parents who could identify themselves with Lok and Lauren.

The eight-month-old girls are MoMo twins. MoMo stands for monoamniotic-monochorionic twins which means that the girls are identical twins who had separate umbilical cords, but shared the same placenta and the amniotic sac. It is a rare occurrence, and the incidence of MoMO births are just about 1% of all twin pregnancies.

Leia and Lauren were born at 32 weeks and weighed 1.5kg and 1.6kg respectively. Their case was identified as critical and had to spend a whole month in ICU. At eight months, they both are 11kg and that makes their situation distant from the initial days.

The Instagram images of the sisters show them in adorable matching costumes. Their proud papa reckons that the two girls have distinct personalities. Leia is introverted while Lauren is quite an extrovert and the mischievous one.

Lok, a financier, and Yong, a marketeer, take time for their photo shoot sessions right after sleep time. Each photo shoot lasts about 15 minutes. Lok says that he is a passionate leisure photographer while his wife plays around with styling and imbibing wacky concepts. The parents are proud of their very joyful babies who don’t shun camera, and this is what makes it easy for them to capture their cute moments.
