This is the first child for both Tamar and Vince. In March, she chose TV to make her pregnancy announcement, showing off her bump to Good Morning America (GMA) viewers, telling them:

I have a love on top.  I’m pregnant…I don’t have that many months to go. Almost there.

And this week, she returned to GMA, opening up about her now two month old bambino in a very candid way. And apparently, motherhood ain’t all fairytales.

I loved him, you know. But I wasn’t like ‘oh, gosh, yes my baby, ooh,’ you know. It wasn’t that. It was more like what do I do now, you know? I guess in a sense I did feel unattached because you know, I really, really wanted to connect with him because I wanted to breast-feed. And when he didn’t latch on and when I couldn’t produce milk I just felt like, ‘Is this the wrong child?’ You know what I mean? ‘Am I the wrong mother?’ When he finally latched on I felt like he got me and I got him and this was all meant to be.

She continued:

You’re in shock. And you know, it took me a few days to really, like, come to terms with the fact that I am a mom and this is my baby.

She also confesses that it took her some time to change her son’s diaper:

Well you know, I was questioning my motherhood. … Like, is this a mistake that God made? Or like, is this something that I need to hand over to my husband because he and the baby connected instantly. And I wanted that. And I guess I was a little jealous, pretty much. Am I being really honest here? I guess I am.

Despite a few bumps in early motherhood, she explained that now, all is well:

I am very happy. I feel complete … he is the best thing that ever happened to me.

    Awww, her interview was very open & honest and totally understandable. Motherhood can be a shock at first & being 1st time Mommy can be scary knowing that you are now completely responsible for this little person. You really have to get your grown woman on! But she’s got it now and that’s what matters. I’m so happy for them and Logan is a cutie!

    Yes, this was a awwww moment! She was very honest & open. She right being a first time mother can be scary so I know what she is talking about. I love how she is being honest and not faking like some people do. Much respect for Tamar and she will be fine. I see her being a GREAT MOTHER and I know Vince will be a great dad. Congratulations Tamar and keep doing what you doing.

    I appreciate her honesty! This is the side of motherhood we don’t usually hear about but should be shared amongst women.

    Tamar has always spoke the truth about herself. I couldn’t imagine her not telling the truth about this. Good for you Tamar!!!
