"So far this has been the easiest pregnancy yet- barely any nausea and somehow I find myself energized??? A bit of pregnancy insomnia but lots of good reading lol," she continued. "Maybe it’s just because of our reality tv background but my feed has been so full of the “mothers regret having children” narrative and while I admit, the news of this pregnancy initially was very overwhelming considering the age gap(or lack of)."
She went on to say that she wishes to impart to other women that, for her, having children has been the "biggest gift" and brought her more joy than she could imagine.
"I am so thankful for the privilege it is to be a mother to these 4 babies," added Madlyn in her lengthy caption.
Madlyn's news comes just under a year after she welcomed her third baby, a boy, with Colby. The two have not shared his name yet. They are also parents to daughter Josephine "Josie," 3, and Conrad, 2.
Last April, Madlyn and Colby shared they'd welcomed another baby together. The two quietly announced their exciting news in a photo on Madlyn's Instagram Stories. In the picture, the newly minted mom of three could be seen cuddling her baby boy, who slept soundly on her chest.
Both mom and son were wrapped in a blanket, while the little one had a hospital bracelet on his arm. "Sneak peek," Ballatori wrote across the snap.
When the duo walked onto the season one reunion stage together, Ballatori visibly had a baby bump. She then revealed she was seven months pregnant and expecting their first baby, a girl.
"I'm loving every second," Ballatori said.
Kissinger also raved about how his wife was managing her pregnancy, saying she's "handling it like a pro."
"I'm blown away, actually, by how she's handled it," he said. "My sister recently had a baby just last year. So we got [the] full experience of the whole, how it works process of the pregnancy. And she, like, has no problems. No aches. No nothing. She is just like an absolute champ about it."
