Karine Staehle: 90 Day Fiance Star’s Unborn Baby is Underweight

Earlier this month, 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days star Karine Staehle flaunted her massive baby bump . In a new post, however, she warns fans to not be fooled by the size of her pregnant belly. Her baby is actually underweight. Karine shared a new photo of herself with a flower crown filter, putting her prodigious baby bump on display. Her caption is in her native Portuguese, but we have translated the words for you. “My belly is not as big as it appears in the photo,” Karine’s caption begins. So this is one of those options-on-Instagram-may-be-smaller-than-they-appear situations. That happens on Tinder, too. “The baby is underweight,” Karina informs her followers. “And,” she admits. “It looks like I eat a lot.” Here is the photo. That looks like a huge pregnant belly … though we should of course remember the scale of things. Karine is a tiny, tiny woman. A “large” baby bump on her would look considerably smaller on a more statuesque woman. She also notes that she is only 35 weeks into her pregnancy. So her baby probably has over a month to grow to a healthy weight before she gives birth. When those five weeks are up, Paul and Karine are expecting a baby boy. They have already picked out a name for this little one: Pierre. After the couple’s two miscarriages, Pierre will be their little rainbow baby. Paul and Karine have come a long, long way since fans first saw them on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days . Some of their biggest obstacles have been their own differences. After a long-distance courtship, Kentucky native Paul came to meet Karine in Brazil. Paul did not speak Portuguese. Karine did not speak English. They relied upon translator apps. There were more than just communication issues. Paul had some insecurities and displayed quirky behaviors, including that one time he slipped on a condom under his trunks before going for a swim. (Yes, candiru asu are real, but no, you do not need to wear a condom under your swimming trunks to keep one from tunneling up your dong) More seriously, he was found to have an alarming criminal record including arson. But Paul and Karine tied the knot on the second season of the 90 Day Fiance spin-off. Though they continued to fight, they settled into their relationship and marriage. Two miscarriages, back-to-back, was difficult for them. That would put a strain on any couple. Paul shared that the first miscarriage happened almost too quickly for them to notice. The second, however, put them in mourning. But with this rainbow baby on the way, they’re verye xcited to make this journey into parenthood together. Hopefully, Paul and Karine are prepared to be the best possible parents for baby Pierre. We’re rooting for some final fetal development over the next five weeks. Underweight babies can sometimes experience health complications. We want Pierre to have the best start in life that his parents can give him. But with five weeks to go, there’s probably no reason to worry. Different babies develop at different rates. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Are They Still Together?

90 Day Fiance: Nicole and Azan Want to Make a Baby!!

Earlier this year, 90 Day Fiance stars Azan Tefou and Nicole Nafziger canceled their wedding . But that doesn’t mean that they’ve ended their relationship. And now Nicole has revealed their plans for the future. How many (more) kids do they plan to have? Nicole and Azan are still trying to make their long-distance relationship work. But that hasn’t stopped them from planning for their future as a married couple. Recently, Nicole took to Instagram and answered fan questions. “How many kids do you and Azan planning on having?” a fan asked. “We want to add two more to our family!,” Nicole replied. “So 3 including May.” She followed that answer with a red heart emoji. (The fan wrote “Hassan,” a fairly popular name, rather than “Azan,” which was a simple accident) Nicole already has a daughter from her previous relationship. May is adorable and Nicole has said that she had no relationship with her baby daddy. That baby daddy’s identity remains shrouded in mystery, and it sounds like Nicole is just fine with that. In fact, Azan is the only father figure that May knows. Nicole has even received backlash for having May call him “daddy.” It is true that Azan lives something like 4,000 miles away. But May has seen Azan in Morocco. It appears that the two have really bonded. It’s understandable for fans to be uncertain about whether Nicole and Azan can make it work. Some objected to her calling him “daddy” simply because he is not her biological father. That, of course, is toxic. Plenty of adopted children call their parents or step-parents “mom” or “dad.” Calling a parent by nicknames like that is normal and healthy. Some fan reservations arise from Nicole and Azan’s struggles to make it work. As we mentioned, they had plans to marry in June. Ultimately, they decided that an expensive Moroccan wedding was not the most responsible use of money. Instead, Nicole invested the money that she saved up while working at Starbucks … by giving it to Azan. Azan is going to invest that money in a storefront in order to open up a beauty shop in his hometown. The hope is that this will give them financial security in the future. It has been months since they reached this decision. Since then, Nicole had to return to the United States. Azan remains in Morocco. There has not yet been any word about when this beauty shop of his will open. That doesn’t mean that it’s not happening, of course. We’re not intimiately familiar with the timetable for opening a business in Morocco. Hopefully, Azan is. Some fans have concerns that Nicole is being conned. That seems unfair. If that were the case, surely Azan would have ghosted her by now. (And it’s hard to imagine that he would have been willing to go on reality television if he’s just a con artist) Also, Nicole isn’t rich — she’s a barista and a single mom. A more realistic fear, we suppose, would be that they’ll break up and she’ll have lost all of that money. We hope that all of her hard work doesn’t go to waste. For her sake and for May’s.

Kirlyam & Alan Cox: 90 Day Fiance Duo Welcomes First Child!

Not every couple on 90 Day Fiance ends up as bitter and full of mutual loathing as, say, Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali. But that doesn’t mean that every couple gets their happily ever after, either. Kirlyam and Alan Cox, however, are one of those beautiful exceptions. They lived the dream and made it and are a happy couple. And this summer, we told you that Kirlyam was pregnant . They were due in September, but sometimes the best things take a little extra time to prepare. (And yes, of course there are baby pictures) There are schemers and cheaters and toxic relationships left and right on 90 Day Fiance . But we can’t forget about the good relationships, too. Alan Cox was doing his work as a Mormon missionary in Brazil when he met Kirlyam. The two of them hit it off. And though there were issues — Kirlyam may have looked a bit like a mail-order bride to some of Alan’s peers, while marrying Kirlyam meant leaving her family behind in Brazil for Kirlyam — they went through with their engagement and got married. Honestly, we’ve loved watching the two of them be adorable nerds together on Instagram, whether they were going out to see Wonder Woman or geeking out about Harry Potter . The most dramatic part of their relationship, in our estimation, is that Kirlyam’s family couldn’t afford the trip and had to watch a livestream of Kirlyam and Alan getting hitched. In fact, the only downside to these two is that their high-on-love, low-on-drama relationship doesn’t make them as juicy fodder for the 90 Day Fiance cameras (or their spin-offs). But check out their latest adorable development! Baby Liam was born on the 6th of October, 2017. Alan Cox took to Instagram to share the wonderful news: “Welcome to the world Liam Jordan da Costa Cox. Born 10/06/17 at 7:57 pm. 6 lbs 15 oz 20 inches long. Baby and momma are doing great. I’m so proud of you @kirlyam_. You are a true warrior. I love you so much!” He also translated it, like most of his updates about Kirlyam, into Portuguese for Kirlyam’s relatives. Awww! She pushed for twenty hours , which is enough to impress us but the thought of that makes us want to curl up and die. Sharing an up-close photo of precious baby Liam, Alan shared the experience of every new parent. “Loving life right now! Well except the no sleep part.. hahahahaha but then I look at Liam and suddenly I’m not so tired.” He’s so cute! Alan Cox elaborated about Kirlyam’s labor experience. “I do not have the words to describe what I feel for this wonderful woman. I am so proud of her. She was an absolute warrior in the delivery room. After 20 hours of active labor she still had the energy and drive to sacrifice her body for Liam.” We can only imagine how tough it was for Kirlyam, especially given the difference in stature between herself and her husband. (Not every big baby becomes a tall adult, but there’s something to be said for the effort of pushing a very tall man’s baby out of a very small woman’s uterus) Alan Cox continued: “I will forever be grateful and love this woman for all time and eternity. @kirlyam_ thank you” These two are so sweet with each other. That tribute is even more precious than Alan’s glowing face as he shopped for baby clothes during the summer. And to think that mere days before, the two had been throwing up their hands and wondering when Liam, due in September, would ever enter the world! Kirlyam made her own, much more succinct post. Again, her baby was born less than a week ago, and if we’d just pushed for 20 hours, you wouldn’t catch us so much as tapping “like” on Instagram. “Welcome to the world Liam. We love you so very much!!!!” She included some blue hearts and, of course, a Portuguese translation. The next time that 90 Day Fiance makes you feel cynical about relationships, about marriage, and about the show itself, maybe think of this growing family.
