“I follow people who had a baby the same time I had Arrow. Now they are pregnant with baby #4. I’m so happy for them. It’s just hard for me to think ‘why not us’?” she wrote. “First it was just one more…then two more…now three more for them all while trying to get just one positive pregnancy test seems impossible over here.”
She added that Arrow has been asking “when I will give him a brother and sister,” and said, “It’s just hard. And I’m going to be 33. I got pregnant with Arrow on try #1. I didn’t imagine id be here. I avoided taking ‘the pill’ just incase it ever inhibited me from having babies. I was overly cautious. It’s truly God’s plan and choice. I don’t question him often on why. And I should never question him on why. I’m okay now, thanks for letting me type through the emotions.”

Franzel and Arroyo were long distance at the beginning of their relationship, but he moved from New Orleans to Michigan to be with her. They now live in Franzel’s hometown.
“We’re still in the same town where I always lived,” she said in the Us Weekly interview. “I’m super close to my family. I love the seasons. I love the country life. I love rural life. We did buy a house with 10 acres, and we literally have a rescue farm in our backyard, and we just rescued a dog.”
