Back in October, Emma brought the twins to cheer on their dad at their first-ever Indianapolis Colts game.
“We prayed so long and so hard for days like yesterday 😭❤️🔥 If you would have told me this time a year ago, we’d be standing where we are today, I’m not sure I could have believed you. THANK YOU, GOD are the only words I can seem to find lately,” she wrote alongside photos from the day on Instagram.
“After 85 days in the NICU and living in a rental home, we are finally reunited as a family,” Emma said in an exclusive statement.
“I still can’t totally believe we are finally home as a family of four, but every time we see one of the boys, we are thankful for the journey that got them here,” she added.
The couple’s miracle babies come after a nearly two-year-long journey that included fertility struggles and in vitro fertilization.
