Erin Lichy, a prominent figure from “The Real Housewives of New York City,” is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in her life as she announces she is expecting her fourth child with husband Abe Lichy. The news was confirmed by a representative for the couple, and Erin couldn’t help but share her enthusiasm, saying, “It feels like adding another act to the circus!”
Erin, who is already a mother to Levi, 9, Layla, 7, and Elijah, 4, expressed a lighthearted outlook on expanding her family. “With our busy lives juggling work and everything else, I haven’t had much time to consider the changes ahead, but I believe it will transition smoothly,” she remarked.
The couple recently enjoyed a day out with friends when Erin first suspected she was pregnant. “I noticed I was becoming incredibly sensitive to smells. That’s when it hit me—oh boy, here we go again!” she recalled. Despite some struggles at the beginning of her pregnancy, including exhaustion and nausea, Erin now finds herself back to indulging in her favorite cravings, from cold drinks to Italian fare.
While the couple has not yet revealed the sex of the baby, Erin mentioned they would likely find out soon. Despite the joyful news of her pregnancy, the couple has faced challenges in their marriage, particularly financial difficulties stemming from their recent business venture. Abe opened up about the challenges they encountered after leaving his stable law firm position to launch a handbag business with Erin.
“It’s tough when you pour everything into a project and it doesn’t pay off financially,” Abe reflected. “We experienced a lot of stress, especially while expecting our second child and coping with my father’s passing.”
He admitted that he sometimes kept things from Erin in an effort not to add to her stress, wanting to uphold the role of provider. However, they have since worked through their issues, fostering a relationship built on honesty and communication. “We’ve reached a better place, and this pregnancy is a fresh start,” Abe noted.
In summary, Erin and Abe Lichy’s journey into parenthood is filled with both excitement and reflection as they prepare for their growing family amidst the complexities of life and love.
