Welcome to the World
The couple revealedd that the blonde beauty was in labor during the wee early hours on May 29. At 5 a.m., Arie shared that Lauren “received an epidural” and everything was proceeding “smoothly.” Hours later, they welcomed their precious baby girl! It’s a relief that everything went according to plan since Lauren had to get an E.C.V. done to flip their baby, who was in the breech position, just a few weeks ago.

How They Came Up With the Name
As far as the little girl’s moniker, the parents have yet to reveal it. However, they previously explained to Entertainment Tonight that they kind of made it their own. “It was a name we kind of tweaked into something unique … We don’t really know anybody who’s named that,” Lauren, 27, divulged.

We’re Sure She’ll Bounce Back
While she was 23 weeks along, the blonde beauty posted a sizzling bikini pic from before she was expecting. “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone … in this case IT is abs,” she captioned the photo of her toned tummy with “#feelinlikeawalrus.”
Since then, it’s been all about the baby! The reality couple has received a lot of support from fans and their pals.

Close Friends
Arie had a few bumps during his journey on The Bachelor, including pulling the ol’ switcheroo and changing his mind about finalist Becca Kufrin. However, he still remains on great terms with the host. Chris continued, “They built their house, they built their home. And so everything’s kind of perfect for them right now. I wish them the best. I love him to death.”

Defending Her Man
A troll commented on Arie’s Instagram post and said that they hoped the couple’s future daughter would “avoid getting involved with men” like the realtor. Well, his wifey had something to say about that.
