Kailyn Lowry is likely just days away from welcoming her third child, and after keeping a tight lid on the details for most of the past nine months, she suddenly seems eager to share the experience with her millions of social media followers.
At first, even the identity of Kailyn’s baby daddy remained a mystery, but at this point it seems Lowry is focused on welcoming a happy and healthy child, and unconcerned about the opinions of the public.
Over the past 24 hours, tweets posted by Kailyn and her Teen Mom 2 co-star Leah Messer have attracted the attention of zealous super-fans eager to know everything about the new addition currently known only as Baby Lo.
Many have jumped to the conclusion that Kailyn revealed the kid’s name.
That’s not entirely true … but we do know what sort of names she’s considering.
“I like last name for first names, how do we feel about Murphy for Baby Lo?” Kailyn tweeted last night, along with a poll allowing fans to give their two cents on the unorthodox moniker.
The name didn’t go over well with her followers, as 78 percent voted “no,” and just 22 percent gave it a thumbs-up.
Many fans assumed that the name was an indicator that Kailyn is having a boy (Are none of these kids Murphy Brown fans?! God, we’re old.), but Lowry was quick to set the record straight:
“No I actually like it for a girl,” she tweeted. “But idk what I’m having.”
Yes, Kailyn says she doesn’t actually know her baby’s gender yet, as she wants to be surprised on the day of delivery, just as she was with her first two kids (both boys).
But naturally, there are plenty willing to offer surprisingly confident guesses about whether Kail will be welcoming a son or a daughter.
Leah Messer, for example, seems convinced that Lowry has a girl on the way.
Over the weekend, Leah reiterated her belief that Kailyn is having a girl.
Lowry gave away no information and simply laughed the remark off, tweeting:
“I’d be calling you cause idk how to dress myself let alone a little girl!”
Meanwhile, fans are on ‘round-the-clock Lowry labor watch, bracing for big news every time Kailyn briefly goes silent on social media.
“@KailLowry hasn’t tweeted in 11 hours. I automatically think Baby Lo is on the way!” tweeted one fan.
“I wish it were true!” Kailyn replied.
It seems Lowry is just as eager to deliever this baby as her fans are to hear about it.
