HOW WE PICKED OUR BABIES' NAMES | BABY GIRL COMES HOME FROM THE NICU

you guys validate alessi’s emotions SO WELL! it’s often not easy introducing a new baby, let alone two, but she was able to work through it in a healthy way thanks to the love and care you always show her 🤍

I think your entire story, from Arie coming back for Lauren, to even your babies names and meanings, is just the Lord shining down on you and letting you know you're loved. God is writing your story and it's been beautiful to watch. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

That little girl Alessi is identical to her grandmother, she even speaks like her. Her facial features are exactly the same. Its overwhelming for her to suddenly have two new babies vying for parents attention, but you are patient & kind with her. God blessed you with 3 little souls to care for, each child is a gift from Him..may he continue to bless & guide your lives.

[@petergrigis7487]

How beautiful. My niece has 2 sets of twins. She never needed "treatment," they came naturally. She also has an older son. You both remind me of my beautiful niece and her husband, who introduced her twins to her son in the same manner as you. I watched them and was in awe. When they were told there was a great chance to have another set of twins after having their first set, they decided to plan for another baby regardless. At 10 weeks pregnant they were told she was carrying twins. Their son is now 13, the first set of twin girls are 10 and the second set of twin girls are 6. All these years later I am still in awe, even more so as she takes them to music lesson, dance classes, recitals, etc. She does it all with such enthusiasm and grace. I wish you much happiness, good health, peace and joy. May you always look at each other 50 years from now, the way you do today. God bless and watch over all of you. Jeanne Grigis

Hi Arie and Lauren! I am from Brazil and saw the tragic accident that took Senna’s life live on TV while watching the race with my father.

Get alessi 2 gift/toys and tell her her siblings brought it for her because they love her so much. That way her jealousy will be less cause she knows they ( siblings) care for her. Its what its usually done when you get a new baby home to meet the older one.

[@KaitAC]

My brother did this for his son when their daughter was born and it really helped. It's a stuffed animal so he got to name it and he plays with it all the time and it's his new sleeping buddy.

[@timidsore7933]

This!

[@klet]

I know a lot of people do this.. but as someone how works in early childhood education it's actually not developmentally appropriate at all to do this at Alessi's age. If she were out of the toddler stage (ends at 2 y 9 mo) it could be more impactful. Sure, she may love the toys she would receive but she's too young to understand that her siblings care for her from that or even that they gave them to her lol but mainly sibling jealousy at that age isn't about whether or the tod thinks the babies care for her, or if she has enough toys, its about the lack of/shifting attention from mom and dad.

[@mickeymcgalliard45]

You guys were destined to get married, have sweet Alessi and now beautiful twins. You’ve raised Alessi to have such a kind heart. Her voice gets me every time. Think how overwhelmed you both are and double it for her. It’s a lot. Just squeeze a minute or two in for only her.

[@Shellybeanj]

My daughter had an ectopic pregnancy in which her tube ruptured. She was so scared she would have a hard time getting pregnant again with only one tube. But miraculously 3 months later she found out she was five weeks pregnant with twins! Her’s were identical girls. She carried them 37 weeks and they both weighed 5lbs 10oz which the doctor said was rare even for identical twins! They are now beautiful 17 year old young ladies! I miss those baby girls so much, but I love those young ladies more than words can say! Of course I feel the same way about all of my grandkids (8 in all)! I am truly blessed… as are you! Remember every moment… the good times and the bad! Before you know it you will be wondering where the time went!
