Arie Luyendyk Jr. is putting an end to his baby-making chapter..
The Bachelor alum, 44, documented his trip to the doctor’s office on Friday, August 14, after he decided to get his second vasectomy.
“Today’s a good day to get a vasectomy,” Arie wrote via his Instagram Story. “Hope laughing gas is FUN!”
The former reality star — who shares four kids with wife Lauren Burnham Luyendyk — explained to his followers that he was doing things a little differently this time around. For starters, he was keeping the mother of his children far away from the appointment.
“Alright, I just pulled into an office. I’m going at it alone this time,” he explained. “The first time was a little traumatic, and Lauren being there felt a little weird. She was literally in the room.”
Arie continued, “The second time when I got the reversal, I was out cold. Now this time, I’ve gone to a new doctor who does laughing gas, so I’m hoping this goes a little smoother.”
Although the former race car driver appeared a little anxious for the minor surgery, he was quick to remind himself that it’s nothing compared to what moms endure.
“Honestly, I can’t complain,” he said. “This doesn’t hold a candle to giving birth. Wish me luck.”
During this minor surgery, a surgeon cuts and seals the tubes that carry sperm, according to the Mayo Clinic, .
Although it’s possible to reverse a vasectomy, the surgery is meant to be a form of birth control that lasts for life.
In less than a couple of hours, Arie’s procedure was complete and he was on his way home wearing an “All Juice, No Seed” T-shirt.
“Today, my husband is getting his second vasectomy, so I’m going to make him a little care package,” Lauren, 34, shared via her Instagram Story on Friday. “I got so much stuff.”
As soon as Arie got home, he was treated to an American Girl basket filled with his favorite snacks, including Sour Patch Kids, Twinkies, Milk Duds, Nutty Buddys and frozen peas.
Arie and Lauren first met on season 22 of The Bachelor in 2018 before getting married in January 2019.
They primarily live in Scottsdale, Arizona, where they raise their four kids. They also own a second home in Maui, Hawaii, which they use as a beach getaway.
“This summer just felt different,” Lauren wrote via Instagram on August 1 while in the Aloha state. “Maybe it’s because our babies are growing up…maybe we are too. It just felt like we needed one last hoorah before heading home and starting another school year🥹.”
