Alex McKinnon’s wife Teigan shares a sweet picture of herself cradling her newborn twin daughters

Alex McKinnon’s wife Teigan was every inch the doting mother on Saturday, as she shared an adorable picture of herself with her newborn twin daughters.

The school teacher cradled her girls Audrey and Violet in a sweet image that was shared on Instagram.

‘How much pink is too much pink?’ Teigan captioned the photo. 

In the image, Teigan turns heads in a pink T-shirt and matching shorts, which she teamed with a pair of white sneakers. 

She dressed her girls in matching pink onesies.

On Tuesday, Teigan showed off her post-baby body in candid pre and post-partum shots, just one week after giving birth.

Teigan shared a series of images on her Instagram stories, one at 36 weeks pregnant and one this week, as she spoke about how ‘in awe’ she was of the female body.

The brunette captioned her post: ’36 weeks in. One week out. The female body is crazy.’

She added: ‘In awe that my body has carried all three of my girls and is still nurturing them earthside.’

Teigan and Alex, 29, welcomed their twin daughters on April 26. They’re also proud parents to daughter Harriet, two. 

Announcing the birth on Instagram at the time, she could be seen cradling her girls on her chest and beaming, looking positively radiant.

‘Two little precious girls have entered the world and have stolen our hearts,’ she wrote in part of her caption.

The pair only took their girls home from the hospital last Saturday. 

‘Home,’ Alex captioned one photo, which was shared on their Instagram stories.

The McKinnons had announced they were expecting twins in November last year.

Former Newcastle Knights star Alex, who became a quadriplegic after a horror tackle seven years ago, posted a photo to Instagram of himself with Teigan and their daughter Harriet holding out balloons spelling out their big surprise: ‘Twins.’

The couple later revealed they’d been left speechless when their GP broke the news to them following a scan.
