When Buddy met Matteo!
Nikki welcomed her first child, sonMatteo, on July 31, less than 24 hours before Brie welcomed her second child, sonBuddy Dessert, on Aug. 1.
“Seeing you walk in like ‘She’s a mom!’ " Brie, who’s also mom to 3-year-old daughter Birdie, says of seeing Nikki, who added it was “crazy.”
“I kinda feel like I was in a dream,” says Nikki. “Like, an out-of-body experience, yeah. It was so incredible. … It just made everything come together. It’s kind of like a perfect ending being in Phoenix because we got to have our babies together, what we always wanted. It was so special.”

In August, theBellas opened up to PEOPLEabout their new additions, sharing the love they have for their expanding families. “I’ve been up since 3 a.m., but this iswhat I’ve wanted my whole life,” Nikki said at the time. “The fact that he’s here — I’m just so in love and happy.”
“That’s what happens when you’re on an infant schedule,” added Brie. “But like Nikki said, the love is just so overpowering that even though you’re so tired, that bliss just takes over.”
After giving birth, the sisters were placed into hospital rooms right next to each other, and they got to meet their new nephews for the first time.
“What’s crazy about Buddy and Matteo is they both have the same scream-cry,” Nikki said. “It’s the cutest high-pitch noise and they’re identical. Even their coos are identical and they’re so cute. Now, Matteo, he will grunt and like punch my boobswhen he’s breastfeeding. Artem and I will sit and laugh because it’s perfect little punches he’ll do. He grunts at me, so I feel like I have a little boxer on my hands.”
“[Both babies] are calm and patient,” Brie added. “We’re the wild ones and very feisty. Our little boys don’t have our personalities yet. Birdie does. Birdie is our mini.”
