Kate Chastain's first bundle of joy is bumping along quite nicely.
As she counts down the days to her pregnancy due date, the Below Deck alum took to social media Friday to provide another glimpse at her growing belly. And in typical Kate fashion, she looked effortlessly cool.
The TV personality and former chief stew shared a mirror selfie in which is seen donning a pair of sunglasses, comfy flip-flops, and a black dress that hugged her baby bump.
"I waddle now," she captioned the photo, which included an adorable appearance by her dog.
Kate confirmed her pregnancy via Instagram in December 2022, when she surprised followers with her first baby bump selfie. Hours later, she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and shared more details about her new life chapter.
"I'm doing it solo and perhaps with some help, but I'm happy to do it alone," she told the host. The Florida native also told Andy she already knew the baby's sex, but didn't want to reveal that "little bit" until later. She did, however, confirm May 8 as her official due date.
Less than two months after the WWHL sit-down, Kate returned to the Clubhouse to provide another update on her smooth-sailing pregnancy.
“I feel so lucky. It’s been the easiest pregnancy ever. Well, my only. But yeah, very easy," she said, before Andy asked if she had always wanted to be a mom. “I did, but I wasn’t sure it was going to happen for me. So I feel so lucky.”
With just one month left until her new arrival, Kate is now in the nesting phase of her pregnancy. It was just a week ago when she shared a series of Instagram photos of her newly purchased home.
"Baby needed a craftsman bungalow," she wrote in her initial post. Kate provided a closer look at her new digs in a follow-up post two days later. “Moving + 8 months pregnant nesting vibes = going into full yacht charter prep mode."
