The comedian shared that both her babies are still in the neonatal intensive care unit, where they are "breathing on their own" and "doing really, really great."
"So grateful for my doctors and the NICU staff for keeping them safe and healthy," Ballinger wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a picture of her twins in the NICU. "This has certainly been the most emotional, unexpected, confusing, uncomfortable and intense experience I've ever had. My heart is bursting with love for my little cuties and it breaks my heart every time I have to leave them."
"But we are surviving and the babies are doing great for their age! I'm so proud of them ??," she added.
Ballinger first announced her pregnancy in May, sharing that she was expecting again after having previously suffered a miscarriage. She revealed that she was having twins days later.
"I'm having DiDi twins, scientifically known as a dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy," she shared at the time, explaining that she won't know if they're fraternal or identical until they're born.
In July, she shared that she was expecting a boy and a girl in an emotional video posted to YouTube.
