TheReal Housewives of Atlantaalum, 47, gave birth to daughterBrooklyn Dorison Nov. 4. And despite a high-risk pregnancy that included multiple health scares and led to an emergency cesarean section, Moore says she and husbandMarc Dalyaren’t necessarily done expanding their family.
“I don’t know if my body can do it, but we would love to have one more,” Moore tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s issue. “I want a little boy!”
And if she can’t, the new mom says she’s open to other possibilities, like adoption.
Having wanted to start a family of her own for so long, being a mom is the culmination of a lifelong wish for Moore. “I finallyhave everything I’ve dreamed of,” Moore shares. “This little angel … she’s so beautiful. I feel so blessed. It’s all been so worth it.”

Moore and Daly met in 2016 andwed in a romantic St. Lucia ceremony in June 2017. They didn’t waste time trying for a child, with Moore telling PEOPLE at the time, “We bothwant to start a family and soon— like, right away.”
Since Brooklyn’s arrival, Daly, 48, has been a source of strength for the star in these early days of motherhood. It helps that he has experience as a dad already, with two children (one grown and the other a teenager) from a previous relationship.
The operation normally takes 30 minutes,but in Moore’s case lasted over three hours. At one point, her epidural wore off and doctors gave her anesthesia for the pain. It caused her to fall asleep and when she woke up, she says she thought she was dead.
“I couldn’t see but I could hear everything. And I was trying to talk, but I couldn’t get the words out — nobody could hear me,” Moore recalls. “I thought, ‘I didn’t make it. I lost too much blood.’ I literally thought I was dead and had passed away. Because my thoughts were there, I was present. But no one could see that I was struggling, trying to wake up. It was crazy.”

She continues, “But he stayed focused on me when we were in there. And he never warned me of anything like, ‘There’s so much blood.’ He never panicked. I couldn’t have done it without him.”

And now, the family is looking forward to another milestone together: their firstChristmas.
“I’mso excited to spend the holidays withher,” Moore says. “She’s just so tiny, so everything we put her in, she just looks like a little doll. She’s so beautiful. We put the tree up and want to go get a custom stocking for her. I’m just excited. It’s a great time.”
