Earlier this month, the population of The Valley increased by one. Danny Booko and his wife Nia Sanchez welcomed their fourth child, a baby girl they named Adelaide.
Now that she’s a mom to “four under four,” Miss USA 2014 is acclimating to life with her new family. “In awe” of what her body has accomplished in just three and a half years, Nia posted a photo of herself holding baby Adelaide. She marveled over what the bodies of women can do. But at the same time, she questioned how much we’re never told before we go through it ourselves.
“Let’s normalize postpartum bodies — truly, fully, unapologetically,” she wrote.
Nia Sanchez and Danny Booko are “in awe” with their new child
“As I look at this body … I choose to see its strength and beauty,” she wrote. “This body delivered all of our 4 babies in 3.5 years. And now, this body is healing, nurturing, and sustaining our baby with love and nourishment.”
“I am in awe. I am grateful,” she concluded.
In addition to baby Adelaide, Nia and Danny are parents to three-year-old Asher and two-year-old twins, Zariah and Isabelle. Finding time to have one-on-one time with all three of her older children while still finding time to rest is a struggle many moms deal with.
“I’m mostly resting … but somehow my day is so full,” she wrote. Her day also included having tea with Isabelle, making multiple appointments, meeting a new babysitter, and setting up piano lessons for Asher. “Have not responded to one text,” she added. Family first!
In addition, Nia reported, “I’m trying to find time for 20-30 min dedicated time out of the house with each little one.” Yikes! I only had one, and I was exhausted for the first few weeks.
Just a few days after giving birth, Danny and Nia took their brood to church for the first time as a family of six. After Nia’s Instagram followers expressed surprise, Nia got real about what they couldn’t see.
“I sure did wear a diaper to church,” she admitted. “I was wearing an adult diaper, so this is just life. Literally going to church in an adult diaper.” Ah, new mom life. It’s sweet, but has its challenges.
The Valley airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
