She also spoke about how much she enjoys spending time with the babies. Bure recalled that her husband, Valeri Bure, had jokingly called her a “baby hogger” because she often wanted to hold them, according to People.

“He was calling me a baby hogger because every time he has the baby, I’m just like, ‘No, no, no. Give the baby to mama. I need the babies,’” she said. “I just love it… [The babies] do smell good and they’re just precious.”

She also thanked her husband, parents, friends, doctors and nurses for supporting her through the experience. Natasha said she was grateful for her daughter but wanted to be honest about the difficulties of postpartum recovery.

“While I am ridiculously in love with my daughter and so thankful for the gift of being her Mom, it’s okay to also acknowledge that this season is unbelievably difficult and maybe even the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced,” she added.
