On Saturday, Lauren also reacted to getting to bring her little girl home from the hospital in posts shared to her Instagram Story as well.
Speaking candidly about how she felt while her youngest daughter was in the hospital the days prior, Lauren said, “I just felt like I needed to pull back a little bit and have some privacy.”
“I was going through something that was pretty vulnerable, having our daughter in the NICU and also going through the postpartum period,” she continued. “Your hormones are just wacky.”
“I took some time for myself but she is officially not in the hospital anymore,” Lauren added. “I’ve got both my babies home and it was the best day ever … It’s a really, really happy day.”
