00:08 - Kailin Lowry just made an announcement
00:10 that's twice as nice.
00:12 Nearly a month after the Teen Mom 2 alum
00:14 welcomed twins with boyfriend Elijah Scott,
00:17 she's finally revealing their names.
00:20 Posting a cute video to her IG February 9th,
00:22 the now mom of seven shares,
00:24 she's named her son Verse and daughter Valley.
00:27 Up until now, Kailin has been referring to her newborns
00:30 as baby A and baby B.
00:33 This sweet video shows the 31 year old
00:35 holding and kissing the twins
00:36 before giving a quick tour of their nursery,
00:39 which features custom blankets with their names on them.
00:42 Kailin captions the post, "Complete, whole,
00:45 "everybody's here."
00:47 Just last month, the podcast host,
00:49 who's already mom to sons Isaac, 14, with ex Joe Rivera,
00:52 Lincoln, 10, with ex Javi Marroquin,
00:55 Lux, six, and Creed, three, with ex Chris Lopez,
00:58 and baby Rio with Elijah,
01:00 shared that her newborn twins spent weeks
01:02 in the neonatal intensive care unit
01:04 after being born prematurely.
01:06 Opening up about the trying time
01:08 on her barely famous podcast.
01:11 - They weren't just there for a couple days.
01:12 Like we went through the journey for weeks
01:14 and we learned so much about the families
01:17 that are in the NICU.
01:18 Some of them are there for months and months.
01:20 - The MTV alum tearfully explained
01:22 that one of her biggest challenges
01:24 during the twins NICU stay was wondering
01:26 if the differences she observed
01:28 between her two babies was normal.
01:30 - I wanted to know if what I was seeing was normal.
01:33 Like you're not, I had never seen a baby in my life
01:37 not wake up to eat or like want,
01:42 or show signs of hunger.
01:43 Like she would just sleep through feeding.
01:47 She'd never have any feeding cues.
01:49 And then when she, when I tried to feed her,
01:50 she would not take a bottle.
01:52 And that was really difficult because I'm looking at him,
01:54 you know, and I'm seeing, you know,
01:55 he's in the NICU for some of the same reasons,
01:58 but also he's taking a bottle.
02:00 He's not having an issue with that.
02:01 - The Pennsylvania native was candid about her fear
02:04 of welcoming the twins via C-section,
02:06 but admits that her time in the NICU
02:08 ended up being much scarier.
02:11 - It was just, I cried a lot, didn't I?
02:13 I think I probably cried more for the NICU journey
02:16 than the C-section stuff.
02:18 - She then shared that after some time,
02:20 her and Elijah were finally able
02:22 to bring both of the twins home
02:24 and work on getting them bonded with their older brothers.
02:28 - Rio meeting the twins,
02:31 specifically baby A for the first time
02:34 was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
02:38 - Oh, to this day?
02:39 - Oh, he loves those babies.
02:41 He thinks he's a twin.
02:42 He thinks he's a triplet.
02:44 - Yeah.
02:45 - He burps them.
02:46 He tries to, he has been so sweet with those twins
02:50 and it's literally the cutest (beep) thing
02:52 and truly Lux and Creed have really been good too.
02:56 - And despite the heart-wrenching experience,
02:58 Kaylin shared everything's good now
03:00 with her family being complete
03:02 and she's just grateful that Vers and Valli
03:04 are both happy and healthy.
03:06 - But I'm just so thankful.
03:08 I feel grateful, I feel fulfilled, I feel thankful.
03:11 Did I say thankful already?
03:12 - Yes.
03:13 - Grateful, thankful, fulfilled, happy, complete.
03:18 We're putting an addition on our house because of this.
03:20 But I feel so blessed.
03:25 And they truly are good babies.
03:29 Despite the emotional journey that is the NICU,
03:34 they are very good babies.
