After spending months acting as if nothing was going on at all, Kylie Jenner finally came out with the truth at the beginning of this month. While all we had heard from Kylie or her extended family was that she wanted to spend some time out of the spotlight for a few months, many theorized that she may be hiding a pregnancy.
Seeing as this is a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan we're talking about, it wasn't much of a surprise to see the announcement of the birth become a viral sensation. Even the event of her first photo of the baby girl, Stormi, became far bigger than anyone anticipated, with the photo amassing over 17 million views and quickly becoming the most-liked post on Instagram.
In her initial announcement, she posted a statement to her Instagram along with a link to an 11-minute YouTube video that showed her personal journey through the pregnancy. The statement read:
"I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. I understand you're used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. my pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself i needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way i knew how. there was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal i had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness.
"pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life changing experience I've had in my entire life and I'm actually going to miss it. I appreciate my friends and especially my family for helping me make this special moment as private as we could. my beautiful and healthy baby girl arrived February 1st and i just couldn't wait to share this blessing. I've never felt love and happiness like this i could burst! Thank you for understanding."
The accompanying pregnancy journey video, titled 'To Our Daughter', was obsessed over by many of her fans, but there's one particular shot that people have latched onto lately.
In the original video, Kylie shows off her baby bump to the camera and says "So I'm 34 weeks today". Now Twitter has started using a screengrab of this moment, adding the caption of "next thing I knew, I was pregnant". And out of this came the potential for all the memes the internet can handle.
Here's one with the original clip:
And thus the meme was born:
Of course, this became the perfect way for them to show their attraction to other celebrities, from Mark Ruffalo to Donald Glover:
And then people start thinking out of the box:
This pregnancy has already got baby Stormi the most-liked Instagram photo and a meme in her honor, but did you know she's already worth millions?
