					<p>Settling in. <strong><strong>Arie Luyendyk Jr.</strong></strong> gave an update on his and wife <strong><strong>Lauren Burnham</strong></strong>’s newborn twins after having to <strong>leave their little girl at the hospital</strong> on Tuesday, June 15.</p>
<p>The former <strong>Bachelor</strong>, 39, who <strong>welcomed a son and daughter on Saturday, June 12</strong>, shared a few videos from the couple’s first morning with their baby boy at home on Wednesday, June 16, before sharing scenes from their time in the hospital via his Instagram Story.</p>
<p>“She’s the best big sister already,” the race car driver captioned a video of <strong>the pair’s eldest child</strong>, daughter Alessi, rocking her brother in a basinet on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The <strong>2-year-old</strong> took a peek at her brother as she rocked him with her foot, saying, “Baby’s night-night.”</p>
<p>Burnham, 29, also shared a video of their toddler <strong>embracing her role as a big sister</strong> feeding the newborn.</p>
<p>“OK boss,” she captioned the clip via her Instagram Story with a crying laughing face emoji.</p>
<p>Luyendyk Jr. shared the same video, joking, “Next we train her to get up in the middle of the night and change diapers.”</p>
<p>The reality TV star then gave his fans a glimpse at <strong>his and Burnham’s “last couple of days”</strong> at the hospital following the birth of their twins.</p>
<p>“Here is baby boy, spent just a few hours in the NICU,” he wrote alongside a snap of their son surrounded by tubes and machines shortly after his birth.</p>
<p>The second photo showed their daughter with the same life-assisting tubes. “Poor baby girl, she needed oxygen but is doing much better now,” Luyendyk wrote on Wednesday.</p>

		<p>The proud dad shared a <strong>snap of the babies</strong>, whose names have yet to be revealed, together a few days later “when they were reunited” during a visit to see “little sis.” He finished his photo montage with a snap of one of his babies free from tubes, calling the bundle of joy “such an angel.”</p>
<p>Luyendyk Jr. later held his baby girl in the NICU on Wednesday after stopping by the hospital for a check-in. He shared a video of himself rubbing her back as she slept soundly on his chest.</p>
<p>One day prior, <strong>the Shades of Rose designer</strong> revealed that they were heading home from the hospital with their son, but not his sister.</p>
<p>“Little sis has to stay behind for now,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. “I’ve never felt heartbreak like this. Pls say prayers for our girl.”</p>
<p>The couple previously opened up about their baby girl’s respiratory issues in their Monday, June 14, birth vlog.</p>
<p>“Babies transition really quickly during the <strong>first 12 hours of life</strong>,” a nurse told the parents as Burnham rubbed the newborn’s back. “Some babies need it for a couple days. Just depends. When the doctor comes back over and if she’s still needing respiratory support for a few more hours, she might get a chest X-ray just to see a better picture of what’s going on.”</p>
