Nine months of secrecy. Nine months of hiding. Nine months of holding back a barrage of selfies and life updates over social media.
Now, the dam has burst.
Kylie Jenner gave birth!!
In an announcement over Twitter and Instagram, Kylie shared that she has given birth to a healthy baby girl.
She shared the news on her due date, Sunday, February 4, but actually gave birth on February 1.
In addition to that joyous news, Jenner apologized to fans for keeping this part of her life when they are accustomed to her sharing so much.
Kylie and her family then made up for lost time by revealing everything that fans had missed – and we mean everything!
Below, you can see the numerous photos that Kylie and her family shared, including the first glimpse of Kim’s daughter, Chicago West.
Are you ready to see the baby kick? Are you ready to see the ultrasound? Are you ready to learn the baby’s name? Take a look!

Now, back to Kylie’s baby bump
As we mentioned, Kylie continued to take photos of herself, even when she wasn’t sharing anything with her fans.

Just because Kylie was keeping herself in seclusion didn’t mean that she was literally staying in the house.

Watch the baby kick!

Butterflies … Hmmm …
Kylie Jenner’s obsession with butterflies in 2017 was well-documented, even before the world learned that she was pregnant. Is this a metaphor for pregnancy … or is she going to name her daughter Butterfly?
Pockets full of Posie
You can semi-forget the “Butterfly” baby name theory … some think that Kris Jenner sneakily revealed Kylie’s baby’s name: Mariposa. Which, yes, is Spanish for butterfly. It’s reported that Kylie and Travis have named their daughter just that,a nd will call her “Posie.”
‘Twas a dark and Stormi night
It turns out that the butterfly craziness was just a really, really weird red herring. Kylie shared this sweet photo of her finger and baby and captioned it “Stormi Webster.” Travis Scott’s birth name is Jacques Webster. So that settles the great Baby Name Debate of 2018.
The secrecy was INTENSE
Kylie’s own brother, Brody Jenner, wasn’t aware that his sister was pregnant for a while. He says that his relationship with Kylie is good, but … wow. We have to wonder if he found out when the world did.
Fans noticed when Kylie shared the news
When Kylie shared that first snapshot of Stormi, along with her name, it became the most-liked Instagram photo of all time. Who says that half a year of secrecy and seclusion is a brand-killer?
Kylie and Travis hang with family
Kylie went to Houston to spend time with Travis’ folks, and Travis spent time with the Kardashians. It seems like they’re all getting along really well. Pregnancies can bring families together.
Some holiday cheer
Around Christmas, so just over a month before Kylie was due, Travis Scott seems unable to stop kissing Kylie’s baby bump.
Another look at Kylie’s HUGE baby bump
We love the lighting, but it washes out the color of Kylie’s (orange?) outfit. Still, the focus is on the baby bump.
Kris Jenner, proudest grandmomager
Kris Jenner cuddles up to a very pregnant Kylie while Kylie looks at the ultrasound image of her daughter.

That ultrasound gel is usually pretty cold, but it’s worth it to be able to monitor how your child is growing.
Kylie watches the screen
Kylie paid careful attention every step of her pregnancy journey, including when she’d get an ultrasound.
