TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry has gotten emotional while bringing her daughter home from the hospital in a new video.
In November, the MTV alum welcomed twins – Verse and Valley – but her daughter stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit for weeks after.

Kailyn, 31, has been opening up more about the experience and shared a TikTok video of the heartwarming moment her daughter joined her family at home.
In the clip, shared on Friday, the former reality star filmed her reaction to Valley finally being released from the hospital.
She beamed with excitement as she shared the news, noting that it would be the first time her seven children would be under the same roof.
In addition to the twins, whom she shares with her boyfriend Elijah Scott, the couple are parents of a 1-year-old son, Rio.

Kailyn is also a mom to a son, Isaac, 14, with her ex, Jo Rivera; a son, Lincoln, 10, with her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin; and sons, Lux, 6, and Creed, 3, with her ex, Chris Lopez.
The podcast host then began choking back tears while thinking about the happy reunion.
“I’m trying to hold it together, but I’m so relieved,” she told her followers.
The end of the clip showed Kailyn cuddling with her newborn daughter, sporting a white onesie with colorful polka dots, in the hospital before heading home.
TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE
Kailyn previously shared a video of her breaking down after visiting Valley in the NICU.
It showed her in the car as she explained her schedule for visiting the hospital, which was roughly an hour’s drive from her Delaware home.
She also noted how difficult it was to have one of her twin babies still in the hospital while the other was at home.
The ex-TV personality recently revealed that her son, Verse, spent some time in the NICU but was released much earlier than his sister.
Kailyn couldn’t hold back her tears any longer after leaving her daughter and updated fans that they were “definitely making progress” in her feeding schedule, adding that “it’s not always super easy.”
‘I CRIED A LOT’
On an episode of her Barely Famous podcast last month, Kailyn detailed her daughter’s struggles after birth.
“I had never seen a baby in my life not wake up to eat or show signs of hunger,” the young mom confessed.
“She would just sleep through feedings. She never had any feeding cues, and when I tried to feed her, she wouldn’t take a bottle.
“I cried a lot. I probably cried more with the NICU journey than the c-section stuff,” she said.
Kailyn later uploaded a short Reel on Instagram cradling her baby girl as she wrapped the little one in blankets.
The baby had a tube that was taped to her cheek and stuck to her nose.
“I’m sending so much love to all the NICU babies and families,” the Teen Mom alum captioned the post.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed in November that Kailyn quietly welcomed twins.
She finally confirmed the news on Barely Famous, where she’s been sharing most of her baby updates.
