Pregnant Heather Rae Young is gassed about the first sight of her baby boy!

The expectant mom, who is due in 2023, caught the first glimpse at her unborn son during her latest visit to her doctor, and it put her in good spirits.

This would be her first child with her husband, Tarek El Moussa, who already has two children — Taylor and Brayden, from a previous relationship.

Hours after Young teased her 2.9 followers with an Instagram Story selfie captioned, "Ultrasound today. Want to see pics??" the "Selling Sunset" star has dropped a follow-up. The 34-year-old uploaded a set of vertical ultrasound images of the growing baby from her doctor's visit on her Instagram.

She began the caption below by stating, "'Got my first "glimpse" of our baby boy today. This was my very first time seeing him since I found out his gender so it was so special." The Netflix star added that she loved ultrasounds because they gave her a chance "to see him and hear his heartbeat."

Continuing the caption, Young reflected on becoming a first-time parent as she wrote, "As a new mom-to-be these things give me flutters in the best way but it's also nerve-racking because you want to make sure your baby is healthy and in the best condition possible." She finished her thought by revealing that the "ultrasound went great and getting a little peak at our boy made my week."

Young's fans immediately took to the comments to congratulate the mom-to-be and wish her well. One excited fan wrote, "Perfect little boy. Amazing. God Bless.," and another added, "Congratulations to you both. I wish you all best during your pregnancy and that you have [a] healthy little boy. Can't wait to see pictures and follow your journey."

Many others mentioned how "sweet," "precious," "awesome," and "miraculous" it was that Young could experience motherhood. Even "Selling Sunset" co-star and designer rallied around Young as she exclaimed, "Omgoodness!!!! So exciting babe. Ahhh I can't wait to kiss his little sweet face."

Although Young has been taking it easy since she became pregnant, she did not miss out on the chance to show off her bump on the red carpet. The Blast shared that the 34-year-old made an appearance at a StasxBooby Tape event in a short black long-sleeved lace dress.

The realtor ensured her fans got multiple views of the outfit as she dumped a photo series on her Instagram page. After acknowledging that it was the first time she had walked the carpet during her pregnancy, she referred to her baby bump as a "cute little accessory." The pictures she dropped showed her posing with other guests like Anastasia Karanikoloaou, Alessandra Ambrosio, and the event holders, Booby Tape and Bianca and Bridget Roccisano.

Earlier this month, The Blast noted that Young experienced a break in her "regular" pregnancy days when some unexpected "red blotches and bumps" appeared on her face. In a series of already-expired Instagram Stories, the reality star explained that her hormones had betrayed her as she spent a good part of her day "crying for no reason."

She, however, did not let any of her troubles dissuade her from getting a facial and seeing the doctor to check out her thyroid. The former ticket checker said she needed to confirm that "everything's okay" since her thyroid was "slow."

Her health concerns recently stopped her from traveling to Cabo, Mexico, with her husband and their families. Being so far from her man caused Playboy's February 2010 "Playmate of the Month" some loneliness which she addressed in an Instagram post she uploaded on August 3. Along with three images of Tarek spinning her around while she cradled her bump on the beach, Heather divulged:

"Missing my best friend while he's away in Cabo with the kids and our families, so I'm going through photos that I love of us [white heart emoji]. This is the longest we've been apart since we've been together, so I'm maybeee getting a little separation anxiety."

She then asked her fans to suggest some books and television shows for her to while away time. When some people asked why she skipped out on the family getaway, an avid follower replied that doctors had advised the expectant mother against it.
