Before being able to conceive their baby boy, Heather had opened up about her journey to get pregnant. The reality star underwent IVF treatment and even froze her eggs as part of the process.

“I had this whole new appreciation for moms,” she recalled to Us in February after giving birth. “I love being a stepmom to Tay and Bray, but having my own and carrying him and then going through the labor and going through all the experiences, it’s obviously something I’ve never experienced. … It’s just such a beautiful thing that the female body can do.”
