In an interview with Bravo’s Daily Dish, Ashley swoons over her new baby boy, who was born weighing 8 pounds and 1 ounce.
“It’s so crazy how much he’s changed from when he was first born to even the second week. He looked like me and now he looks more like Michael. He’s a cutie!” the reality star said in the interview.
There’s no denying that the newborn looks an awful lot like his dad, but it appears he acts like him too. “He has a very calm demeanor. However, when he wants something, he’s very adamant about getting it,” dished the Bravo star.
But while Ashley seems to be all-smiles now, her first couple weeks of motherhood were pretty rocky. The new mom openly admitted on Instagram that she suffered from “postpartum blues” and mastitis, a painful condition caused by inflammation of the breast tissue.
“I have experienced some motherhood challenges. The most impactful one has been working through a bout of mastitis,” explained the reality star. “Taking care of my newborn son while experiencing the worst flu symptoms and most tender breast imaginable was no easy feat!! Thankfully, I had my incredible husband and mom helping me the entire way.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sunday nights at 8/7c on Bravo TV.
