‘Teen Mom 2’ alum Kailyn Lowry shares first photo of her newborn twins with Elijah Scott

Kailyn Lowry finally shared the very first photo of her newborn twins, one week after giving birth to the baby boy and baby girl prematurely.

The “Teen Mom 2” alum made the reveal in a teaser for Friday’s episode of her “Barely Famous” podcast.

At the start of the clip, the 31-year-old displayed a photo of her two babies in the hospital.

In the image, the former reality TV star can be seen sitting in a chair while holding both infants who are swaddled in blankets and hooked up to separate incubators.

On her new podcast episode, Lowry revealed that her and boyfriend Elijah Scott’s twins spent several weeks in the NICU after they were born five weeks before their due date.

“It was really scary because … we had experienced the NICU for a few days [with Rio] and he was big. He was 9 pounds, so that was different for us and got to go home shortly after,” the former MTV personality recalled, referring to her eldest son with Scott.

“But for the twins, we were five weeks early and there were two of them. I didn’t get to hold them until the next day or 48 hours [later].”

Lowry — who is now a mom of seven — recalled feeling upset that doctors weren’t giving her a clear answer about her newborn kids’ health issues.

“I had never seen a baby in my life not wake up to eat or show signs of hunger,” Lowry said on Friday.

“She never had any feeding cues and when I tried to feed her, she wouldn’t take a bottle. And that was really difficult because I’m looking at him, and [while] he’s in the NICU for some of the same reasons, but also he’s taking a bottle and he’s having no issue with that.”

“I cried a lot. I probably cried more with the NICU journey than the C-section stuff,” she added.

Lowry went on to reveal that she and Scott were able to bring their son, who was born first, home before their daughter.

“I think that there’s a big difference between the twins in terms of, because she was in the NICU by herself for so long, for so many weeks, and he was home,” Lowry explained.

“She’s more OK by herself … whereas we were home with him and someone was always with him, holding him and all of that. Now that she’s home, I feel like my bonding experience [with her] has been so much better.”
