Lauren Luyendyk Shares Post-Birth Update and Why Having 4 Kids Is Easier Than 3
Keeping it real.
Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham Luyendyk got engaged on Season 22 of “The Bachelor.”
Since then, the two got married and welcomed three children: Alessi and twins Senna and Lux. Earlier this year, the couple announced that were expecting their fourth baby.
And last week, Arie and Lauren welcomed their new baby girl, Livvy Rowe Luyendyk!
Now, the mom of four has taken to her Instagram Story to share a post-birth update and reveal how they are adjusting to being a family of six.
During a fan Q&A, Lauren opened up about having four kids and revealed that it’s easier than having three kids.
She said, “0-1 kids: hard. 1-3 kids: hardest. 3-4 kids: easy. I feel so good this time around. [And] so much more confident in my mom abilities. Really grateful I got to have this experience again one last time. 🥹”
Lauren also shared her and Arie’s schedule and how they navigate parenting a newborn as well as three older kids.
She stated, “I try to put [Livvy] down around 9-10pm & she wakes up around 12:30-1am & again around 4:30-5am. Some mornings I get to sleep for another hour or so…just depends! Right now I do nights with her and Arie sleeps, so he can have energy to run around w/ the big kids during the day.”
A fan also asked Lauren about her labor experience, and the Bachelor Nation star answered honestly. She shared, “Wildest, scariest (due to personal experience…) most beautiful, empowering 9 hours of my life. Absolutely zero regrets.”
Lauren also revealed that Livvy was born on Arie’s birthday and addressed that she has noticeably darker hair compared to her siblings.
“I had to ask Arie if they switched babies on us,” she joked. “We were SO shocked, because all of our kids had barely any hair & so much lighter! I love it so much though!”
We are so happy for the Luyendyk family and we can’t wait to watch baby Livvy grow up. Congrats again to Lauren, Arie, and their entire family!
