Gym, tan, laundry…and motherhood!<\/p>\n

Deena Nicole Cortese<\/strong> isn’t sugar-coating her “struggle” with being a first-time mom.<\/p>\n

The Jersey Shore<\/em>\u00a0alum\u00a0and her husband, Christopher Buckner<\/strong>, welcomed their first child together<\/a> in early January.<\/p>\n

She named her baby boy\u00a0Christopher John<\/strong>, which has a special meaning to the 32-year-old star.\u00a0Her son’s middle name<\/a>\u00a0is an ode to her father, who passed away in 2016 after a battle with leukemia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In true Deena fashion,\u00a0she’s been sharing snippets of her life as a new mom, and she’s kept it 100.<\/p>\n

More recently, she opened up about motherhood, specifically telling one of her fans that it’s “def harder than I expected.”<\/p>\n

The reality TV star took to Instagram<\/a> to keep her 2.5 million followers updated on her little bundle of joy. “Having a baby is like falling in love again. Both with your husband and your child.”<\/p>\n

After a fan commented on her post, warning that “after the love, there is a period of distaste for them, husband not child” because of the lack of sleep. Cortese got super real and honest about her current struggle with getting some much-needed zzz’s.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I’m def starting to learn how to function on no sleep,” the\u00a0Jersey Shore<\/em>\u00a0alum started off her response. “CJ has been getting better at night but it’s still been a struggle .. been almost 4 weeks and we’re just starting to get into a decent routine.”<\/p>\n

Moreover, she revealed “motherhood is def harder then I expected and I never understood ppl telling me while pregnant to get sleep now lol bc while pregnant I thought I wasn’t getting good sleep but it’s all so worth it.”<\/p>\n

She playfully added that her son is her “little side kick.. we got this.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This isn’t the first time Deena has shared her not-so-glamorous moments of motherhood.<\/p>\n

The star isn’t afraid to give fans insight into her new journey as a mother, so much so that just last week the reality star took to Instagram to show off her “new mom life.” She snapped a selfie and hash-tagged her photo, “#hotmess, #sickhair, #Ismell and #newmom.”<\/p>\n

Deena announced her pregnancy<\/a> in July 2018, and at the time, she couldn’t help but gush over her little bundle of joy.<\/p>\n

“We are truly blessed and our hearts are filed with so much joy and happiness,” she wrote in a social media post. “Daddy and Mommy can’t wait to meet you Christopher John, you are going to be the most spoiled little boy ever!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Here’s to hoping Deena gets some much-needed zzz’s and that she continues to share her journey\u00a0as a new mom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
