Expectant mama Tamera Mowry-Housley covers the July issue of American Baby and opens up about her second pregnancy with husband Adam Housley. The Real cohost talks about her 2-year-old son Aden, and playdates with her twin sister, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, and her nearly 4-year-old son Cree.

On her second pregnancy: “When you’re pregnant and have a toddler, you are sleepy all the time. With my first pregnancy, I could nap whenever I wanted to, and I had fewer dishes and clothes to wash. And while getting to the gym is hard in general, when you’re a mom, it’s so difficult. Plus, while everyone else may be kinder to you when you’re pregnant, your toddler doesn’t take it easier on you at all. You have to keep up!”

On her post-baby body: “After Aden, I thought I’d have my flat stomach back in a month by nursing. But I didn’t! I wondered, ‘What is wrong with me?’ But my pediatrician said that there are some women who keep on 15 pounds when they are nursing, while others burn fat like crazy. I could not lose the last 15 pounds until Aden was weaned.”

On playdates with Tia and Cree: “Tia’s son, Cree, and my son, Aden, are the cutest when they’re together. When the cousins see each other, that’s when Tia and I actually get a break, because the boys don’t want us — they just want to be able to play with each other.”
