Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks will be decorating her new nursery with the color blue.

The reality TV star revealed that she and hubby Apollo Nida are expecting a little brother for their 2-year-old son Ayden. Though they had hoped for a little girl the second time around, the couple is delighted and certain that Ayden will be too. “He’ll be a wonderful brother because he likes to help and he’s so smart,” Parks tells In Touch Weekly.

Despite sticking to a healthy eating regimen and working out, a second pregnancy hasn’t been easy for the Atlanta attorney and budding funeral home owner. “Doctors have diagnosed me with placenta previa, which means I need to be careful this time around because I can’t have a vaginal birth.” She plans to have a C-section in May.

Would Parks consider having more kids in the future, despite these complications? Absolutely! “I would entertain a third child, but I would have guarantee that it was a little girl. I think that would be plenty after that. I’m just super excited for this baby to get here!”
