In the snap, Matteo looks at the camera with dark blue wide open eyes, and his tongue slightly sticking out of his lips. 

He seems to have just finished a bath as as his hair was slicked up wet.  

Nikki’s plan had been to get induced exactly a week ahead of her August 6 due date as her blood pressure had the doctors concerned, but her water broke at the doctor’s office on July 30. 

‘We barely had bags packed. I labored for 22 hours, and I pushed for two hours while wearing a mask because of COVID-19. It was 118 degrees in Phoenix, and our room wouldn’t get colder than 76 degrees, so I was burning hot the whole time.’

While Buddy is Brie’s second child, Nikki the first-time mother told People: ‘I’ve been up since 3 a.m., but this is what I’ve wanted my whole life. The fact that he’s here – I’m just so in love and happy.’

Her twin sister chimed in: ‘That’s what happens when you’re on an infant schedule. But like Nikki said, the love is just so overpowering that even though you’re so tired, that bliss just takes over.’

Calling the newborns ‘calm and patient’ she dished: ‘We’re the wild ones and very feisty. Our little boys don’t have our personalities yet. Birdie does. Birdie is our mini.’
