"I mean, just raising a newborn and for me getting to just raise a newborn — I've raised Taylor and Brayden since they were 3 and 8, and just welcoming a new little soul into the world … "

The couple also checked in with PEOPLE ahead of their Winter Wonderland-themed baby shower in November, with Tarek joking about how he planned to continue to support Heather once they brought their baby home, by "doing what I'm told."

Tarek noted that he has also agreed to let Heather shave his chest before the baby comes.

"I think it's important for fathers to have skin-to-skin with the baby as well," Heather explained. "So I did tell him yesterday, I will be shaving his chest and he will be having skin-to-skin quality time with the baby."
