Christina, 36, donned grey sweatpants, a navy blue sweatshirt and big sunglasses as she was wheeled out the doors by a hospital staff member with her infant in her arms. Husband Ant Anstead, 40, dutifully pulled around their SUV to the front entrance to make things easier for his wife.

Christina shares daughter Taylor Reese, 8, and son Brayden James, 4, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa. Ant has two children from a previous relationship, so they are now officially a blended family of seven. This is the first child for the couple, who wed in an intimate ceremony in December 2018.

"One week until my scheduled C-section. I chose to do this because I had an emergency C-section with Brayden and the whole experience and recovery was really hard on me physically and emotionally. I really don’t feel comfortable trying to go down that route again. Bray was 8lbs 13oz — after pushing for hours and hours  — he was just stuck and his heart rate was dropping. Based on ultrasound measurements we think this is going to be another big boy so this is the direction we’ve decided to take," she told her 1.1 million followers.
