Since announcing they were expecting a baby girl on Christmas, Kelsey has kept fans up to date on her pregnancy journey. In March, she revealed her go-to craving: late-night cereal!
"Not all who wander to the kitchen at midnight are lost, we're just pregnant! My favorite snack to have in the middle of the night is cereal, specifically lucky charms," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "Idk why, it just is what it is!"
Enjoying her baby shower in April, the MTV star opened up on Instagram about expecting a baby during the pandemic while sharing photos from the party.
"Having a baby during Covid has been a bit challenging to say the least and as a first time Mom there hasn't been a lot of moments where I've been able to just take some time to celebrate the fact that I'm about to bring a beautiful soul into this world," wrote Kelsey, who also appeared on The Real World: San Diego in 2011.
In a May 28 Instagram upload, Kelsey joked about "still" being pregnant, listing out how she tried to speed up her new addition's arrival: "I spend most of my days bouncing on my medicine ball, eating pineapple, spicy food, drinking ice water, taking long walks, and hanging by the pool, she is just cozy in there!"
