Christina Anstead<\/strong> is getting real about motherhood.<\/p>\n

The Flip or Flop<\/em> star shared a candid post with her Instagram followers on Wednesday and opened up about her hectic morning with her 9-year-old daughter Taylor Reese El Moussa<\/strong> and her 1-month-old son Hudson London Anstead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I was dropping Tay off at school this morning with a screaming Hudson in the car (and I looked like a hot mess which is the norm the past 6 weeks) when she said something that really hit home,” she wrote. “She said, \u2018Mom, do paparazzi still follow you around?’ And I said, ‘No, not lately. Why?’ She said, \u2018Well what if they got a photo of you looking like THAT?’ I’m like, \u2018I wouldn’t care, that’s the least of my worries. This is how I look and I’m still out and about, this is how new moms look.'”<\/p>\n

Anstead said her daughter then “pondered” the response. After a while, the little one said she wants to have three kids one day and to have Anstead move in with her so she can babysit. <\/p>\n

“Well glad these past six weeks haven’t scared her off from babies lol,” the HGTV star added.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The Christina on the Coast<\/em> celeb then opened up about life with her newest family member.<\/p>\n

“Newborn life is hard,” she wrote. “It’s not all Instagram filters of perfection that people put out there. F that. That’s so misleading for new moms.”<\/p>\n

She also explained why she hasn’t been posting online as much, noting that her “hands are fully\u2014literally.”<\/p>\n

“Huds is definitely a tough baby,” she added. “He will sometimes cry for hours straight. We have had trouble with sucking (checked for tongue tie \/ lip tie) those were fine. “Cut out dairy, tried colic calm, he doesn’t spit up so prob not reflex. What works is him tightly double swaddled in a dark cool room with very loud white noise.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Furthermore, she opened up about trying to balance it all. <\/p>\n

“Hudson’s choice of spending his time is very unrealistic when we have a crazy 4-year-old running around who definitely needs attention, as well as a 9 year old girl who one-on-one time is her love language,” she continued, referencing Taylor and her son Brayden El Moussa<\/strong>. “I say this with mad props to all stay at home moms \/ moms with more than 2 kids. Being outnumbered is no joke. I go back to work in two weeks so it’s about to get even more crazy around here.”<\/p>\n

Near the end of her post, she reminded her followers that life isn’t always as picture-perfect as it may appear.<\/p>\n

“I’m lucky because one of my best friends, Shannon @pinkdustcosmetics , is a new mom too and she does my hair and makeup at home before work and we get to have a one hour therapy\/vent session, and I know this is a luxury,” she wrote. “So when you see me looking decent on tv know that I probably had a freaking crazy morning and it is what it is. I’m lucky because I do love my job and I’m excited to start some new episodes of #christinaonthecoast Sorry for the long post- Wish us all luck. It takes a village lol.”<\/p>\n

Anstead welcomed Hudson<\/a> with her Ant Anstead<\/strong> in September 2019. Her hubby, who she wed<\/a> in December 2018, also has two kids from a previous marriage. Amelie<\/strong> and Archie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
