Christina Ansteadis overjoyed to be in the second trimester of her pregnancy, for more reasons than one.

“Maybe it’s my age (35 — considered a geriatric pregnancy 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄) lol … or maybe I just forgot how bad it was with Tay and Bray … but yikes it really blind sided me,” wrote Christina, referencing her sonBrayden James, 3½, and daughterTaylor Reese, 8, with ex-husbandTarek El Moussa.

The mom-to-be — who showed off her belly under a long-sleeved gray top — explained that she experienced “nausea, exhaustion” and “too many food aversions” but is “officially back to feeling somewhat normal” now.
