“I just don’t want it to feel like you’re single momming this up,” Olivera, 35, says to Hubbard, 38, in the teaser.

But Hubbard, who announced the arrival of herdaughter Gemmaon Dec. 8, tells PEOPLE that she and Olivera sat down after having that initial conversation on the beach and spoke further about the former publicist’s decision not to move in with her boyfriend just yet.

“I was like, ‘First of all, two years ago you’re telling me I’m moving too fast. Now you’re pushing me to move in before I’m ready,'” the star added.

“And even though technically this is my apartment, this is our HQ for the home of our daughter and me. He basically brought over a bunch of clothes and toiletries and is essentially going between my apartment and his apartment, but rarely ever leaves me and Gemma," she explains to PEOPLE.

Hubbard notes that, since she got pregnant only a few months into their relationship, she didn’t want to put more on their plate when it came to moving in together.

However, “it is being discussed,” Hubbard says of moving in with Gemma’s dad. “My lease is up in June. We talk a lot about school districts and making those decisions based off of where we might want to send Gemma to school.”

In the immediate future, Hubbard says she looks forward to a lowkey holiday season at home in New York City. “For Christmas, we’re not really doing anything because we can’t. She’s too fresh and too new to be exposed to too many people right now; we can’t travel until she gets her vaccines, which is at two months,” Hubbard continue. “So we’re just going to have a very quiet, nice Christmas holiday at home.”

Hubbard says that, aside from being “slightly sleep deprived,” she feels “great” two weeks after giving birth.

“My heart is so, so full,” the reality star says. “You always hear new parents say ‘I never knew love like this existed,’ and then it happens to you and you’re like, ‘I totally get it now.’”

She’ll have the experience of reliving her pregnancy on the upcoming season ofSummer Houseafter last season ended with her costar and then-fiancéCarl Radkecalling off their engagement.

“This is the first time in a couple of years that I feel good about a trailer and I feel excited to watch,” she says. “Last season was, for obvious reasons, difficult to watch. And even the season before that was also difficult for me. So, I’m really hopeful that this season is a good, positive, exciting season for me. I’m so in love with this little girl, and I miss her being in my belly. So getting to be able to watch that back on this season, I feel like it’s going to make me emotional.”
