'I have barely changed out of sweatpants'
Post-partum anxieties have come to the surface for 'Flipping El Moussas' star Heather Rae Young, who cried for the first time when she was away from her newborn. Even though she was away for only four hours. It felt like an eternity to her because her whole world revolves around Tristan. In her post, she was seen wearing make-up, and her hair was neatly styled, but according to her new mother, she is far from being "put together". Even though Young was shooting for a few scenes for 'Flipping El Moussas', she felt that it was "hard to think of anything else", with the baby constantly on her mind. Furthermore, she also spoke about how her entire routine is created around the baby. She said, " Anything that I want to do is scheduled around when he’s sleeping or when I’m not feeding him, and all the things I “need” to do come second." She continued by saying that having a newborn in the house "completely diminishes any routine", hinting at how she has not been able to even change out of her sweatpants after "baby T" was born. It is indeed a difficult time for Young but with the unconditional support from her husband, Tarek, motherhood has also been quite smooth for her.
Father T shares the struggle
On the day his baby boy was born, Tristan posted on his Instagram account a picture of Heather holding the baby. He wrote, "Our hearts are so happy". After that, he has been posting quite a few baby pictures, including pictures of his older son and daughter. On February 17, a few weeks after baby T came home, he shared a sweet photo on Instagram that seemed to be taken in the hospital. In the photo, Tarek and Tristan are joined by 'Flipping El Moussa' star's two older kids - Brayden, 7, and Taylor, 12, with ex-wife Christina Hall. Brayden sits in a chair with a pillow on his lap as he holds his baby brother with a big smile on his face. Tarek stands next to him, with an arm around Taylor, who smiles at the camera, dressed in her school uniform. "👀👀👀 OMG….I have 3 kids!!!! How did this happen @theheatherraeelmoussa ❤️," he captioned the photo.
