"Oh my gosh, I'm yearning to have more children," Ashley told E! News. "I would say that if I could I would have a Darby dozen and have a whole football team of kids, just a slew of them running around."

While Ashley would love to have a lot of kids, her husband Michael isn't on board with the idea having more than one additional child.

"Michael has made it clear that he would be willing to have one more child but that's about as far as it will go," Ashley shared.

"We compromised and we would love to have one more child," Ashley continued.

Speaking out her new life as a mom, Ashley admitted that when it comes to motherhood, "everything" surprised her, especially the recovery process that followed Dean's birth.

"You know the saying that you're never really ready to have a baby is so accurate. I have a lot of experience with children because I helped raise my siblings, but having a baby of my own was definitely a whole other ballgame," Ashley admitted.

"And the most surprising thing that I learned about myself was that I didn't just bounce back to being who I was as quick as I anticipated," she continued. "I had a really hard time with post-partum depression."

As she continues to live and learn amid her new life as a mom, Ashley has been turning to her "Real Housewives of Potomac" co-star, Monique Samuels, for support and advice.

"She and I have children similar ages. She's also into holistic, homeopathic remedies and I am as well so she gave me a lot of really good advice about how to navigate motherhood," Ashley told E! News.

"[Dean] does everything that we do, he's really like a little mirror image of Michael and me," Ashley gushed. "He lifts his weights. He has these little weights that he lifts when his dad is working out. He has a mini broom that he sweeps with while I'm sweeping. He's really everything that we do in a miniature version all around the house."

To see more of Ashley, Michael, and their co-stars, don't miss new episodes of the fifth season of "The Real Housewives of Potomac" on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
