Influencer Dani Austin and husband Jordan Ramirez are over the moon about welcoming their fourth child, son Smith, into their family.
“It’s been wild, I’m not gonna lie,” Austin exclusively told Us Weekly about the adjustment from three kids to four. “It’s been crazy. But it’s actually really sweet, because my oldest is 5 now, and she’s a little mommy.”
Austin, who has more than 2.4 million followers on Instagram, shared that her and Ramirez’s daughter, Stella, will take “care” of her. (Austin and Ramirez share daughter Stella, 5, and sons Stratton, 3, Summit, 14 months, and Smith, 1 month.)
“She’ll come in the morning and I’m breastfeeding, and she’ll bring me Cheerios in a bowl,” Austin shared. “It’s been really sweet to see how the bigger siblings, the older ones, are loving the babies. But yeah, that 13-month age gap is brutal. It’s crazy.”
To commemorate the couple’s latest addition, Austin and Ramirez had their family pose for sweet photos — which was no easy feat. Austin told Us she was “flashing them with [her] boobs” to have her kids smile and sit still for the snaps.
“I was trying to do something to get them to all look. It’s impossible,” Austin told Us. “I let go of that expectation so long ago. I’ve always had very serious babies that don’t smile in photos. So I’m just like, ‘Whatever. If we need to Photoshop a face, and just take a face and put it on, I’m down for that too.’ I [told] the photographer, ‘Just do what you got to do.’ It’s pretty brutal. But like I said, I’ve just given up all expectations. I’m like, ‘Let’s just get it done so that I feel good,’ so that in 10 years when we’re looking back at pictures, I’m like, ‘OK, I’m so thankful that I did that.’ But in the moment, it’s kind of horrible.”
Austin, who had been candid about her decision to undergo an unmedicated birth, shared that she has had a “really great experience” when it comes to her recovery.
“I have just not been stressing about all the small things. Like, if he’s crying, I pick him up and I feed him. I don’t worry about, ‘Oh, it’s this many hours and this many ounces.’ I’m just more so following my mommy gut, which I never really felt like I could do in the past, just because there was so much information I was consuming about, ‘You should do it this way and this way and this way,’” Austin shared. “It just feels really good to follow your instinct as a mom.”
