All of Chrissy Teigen wants another baby at home.
The supermodel and husband John Legend welcomed their first child, Luna, more than a year ago. Since then, the couple has been trying to grow their family despite the challenges theyāve faced conceiving naturally. Teigen ultimately underwent in vitro fertilization to bring Luna into the world.
Speaking with InStyle for their November issue, the model explains that their 17-month old was the result of the coupleās second attempt at having children.
āThe first little girl didnāt work, and then the second is Luna,ā Teigen told the outlet.
Their journey started with around 20 embryos, which was narrowed down to the ones that āyou know are going to be good for your body.ā Now, theyāre officially planning on implanting the final embryo in the coming months.
While the āLip Sync Battleā host is thrilled at the prospect of having a sibling for baby Luna, sheās also now more aware of the struggles that could lie ahead. In March, Teigen wrote a moving essay about her battle with postpartum depression, sparking a nationwide conversation about an issue plaguing many new mothers.
āI thought I was just being a selfish a**hole,ā she said about time spent dealing with pain on the sofa with the curtains closed.
āIt wasnāt just a mental thing of, you know, āIām sadā ... I actually couldnāt move,ā she said. āI have really good days and really bad days, and I donāt tend to talk about the really bad days. But I would hate for people to think those days didnāt exist.ā
But with Legend by her side (and Bravo TV programming at her fingertips), the 31-year-old couldnāt be better prepared for the highs and lows that motherhood brings.
āIām much luckier to have Johnās personality in my life than he is to have mine,ā she said. āHe is insanely patient and such a dork, and he loves seeing me happy, even if that means watching āThe Real Housewives of Dallasā with me for two and a half hours.ā
Sheās more than happy, however, to change the channel and fiercely support Legend in return.
āI mean, I donāt care about half the s**t heās doing either,ā she revealed. āBut thereās a balance. If heās watching MSNBC and is excited about something, then Iāve got to be in that realm.ā
