Hershel and Kelsey's first child
Earlier this year, the couple announced the birth of their first child: Kelsey gave birth to daughter Alyssa Rose Jeanties on February 1.
Kelsey announced the happy news on Instagram, writing, “Alyssa Rose January 2, 2024. Perfect! Congratulations on the birth of your healthy baby girl.”
Days before her baby bundle was born, Kelsey opened up about her pregnancy journey, revealing that it had been relatively smooth until the third trimester.
“37 weeks! According to many people, my pregnancy has been pretty easy – I had no morning sickness, weird cravings or any other unusual symptoms. I did have some weird back pain and fatigue, but that's normal at any stage of pregnancy,” she wrote.
But the last few weeks have been difficult, she says: “I feel like I've aged at least 20 years. My hands and feet are swollen and painful.”
“I can't walk properly, I have Braxton Hicks contractions every day, my back hurts so much I can't sleep, I'm tired of being pregnant and just hoping for the baby to come. But even with all this I am so grateful to be carrying a healthy baby! She treated me so well for at least eight months,” Kelsey said.
