I must confess that I didn’t have this news on my Season 15 Real Housewives of New York bingo card. Erin Lichy was already having a dramatic season. She was involved in squabbles with both Brynn Whitfield and Jenna Lyons. In fact, Erin was even having issues with her husband, Abe Lichy. Let’s just forget about that and celebrate the news that Erin and Abe are expecting!
Erin and Abe Lichy are expecting baby number four!
During Season 15 of RHONY, Erin was angry at Brynn. Basically, Brynn revealed to Jenna that Erin hinted that she was having financial issues. Then, Erin confronted Jenna, telling her that Jenna hadn’t been there for her. During this time, Erin’s mother was undergoing treatment for cancer. I can certainly understand why she needed some extra support.
Add to that the fact that Erin found out that Abe sold their Bitcoin without telling her. The news stunned Erin, but the two decided to have more open conversations. And Erin reassured fans that her marriage to Abe wasn’t in danger.
And now, Erin and Abe are getting ready to welcome their fourth child. “It feels like adding another act to the circus! Work and life have been so busy that I haven’t really had a chance to even think about how it’ll change things,” Erin told PEOPLE. “But I think it will be pretty seamless, to be honest. Three vs. four kids doesn’t seem so scary.”
Erin added, “Mostly, I’m just looking forward to enjoying a Mezcalum cocktail and going out for a massive sushi dinner again!” Mezcalum is the mezcal brand that Abe and Erin started.
So, how did Erin discover she was pregnant? “I was out East with Abe and some friends when I suddenly became super sensitive to smells around me. That’s when I knew – I thought, ‘Damn. Here we go again!’” she explained. “The first 10 weeks were rough. I was exhausted and nauseous all the time.”
Now, Erin is feeling better and enjoying all her cravings, which include, “cold drinks, Pinkberry and Greek yogurt, Italian food and French fries.” The mom-to-be added that it feels “really special” to finally share the news. Although they don’t know the sex of the baby yet, they have “started floating around some name ideas, but we haven’t landed on anything just yet.” Their new addition will be joining big brothers Levi, Elijah, and sister Layla.
Congratulations to Abe and Erin!
