“We went through the IVF process because we didn’t think Heather could get pregnant,” said Tarek, 41. “We went through the entire thing, doctors and shots everything.”
“Twice,” Heather, 35, added. “And then she got pregnant naturally and I thought she was showing a covid test,” Tarek continued. “It was a pregnancy test.”

“It’s like an obsession I never knew could happen, and the female body is the most incredible thing going through this,” she added. “I have such an appreciation for women and what we go through, and it’s such a beautiful thing.”
“‘Is it a blueberry today? A Banana? What size?’ Every single day,” Heather said.
However, she also noted that there’s a little “less love” to give around, especially to husband Tarek, since they added a new addition to their family.
“I’m really trying, but it’s hard to balance everything. So it’s been a challenge but I do my best,” she said. “[Tarek’s] really stepped up and he’s really taking care of the older kids. I’m doing my best, and I know I’ll get back to my normal life, but it’s hard right now.”
