Peta Murgatroyd's unborn child is almost here, and he is eager to be with his family.
The soon-to-be mom-of-two, who is in her third trimester and preparing to welcome her child in June 2023, is looking forward to the baby's imminent arrival anytime soon. However, besides herself, loved ones — her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and son, Shai — and a slew of supporters, it appears the unborn child, himself, can't wait to be out of the womb.
Peta Murgatroyd's Unborn Baby Boy Is Eager To Be Here
The "Dancing With the Stars" pro, who has not been reclusive as her due date approaches, recently gave her social media followers a fulfilling update on her pregnancy. "Baby boy wants out ??," Murgatroyd wrote in the caption of the video she posted on her Instagram page on May 7, 2023.
In the ten-second clip, the young one actively pushed into the walls of his mother's swollen stomach, which was super adorable to watch. As the moment passed, dialogue and flashes from the television screen could be heard and seen from the video's background.
Also, the reality star, who intended to show her stomach, lounged on what appears to be a comfortable couch, wearing a matching grey crop top and loose pants. Since the post dropped, fans have filled the comment section with various positive reactions.
One follower addressed the pregnant dancer, "The best feeling- I loved feeling my babies moving - enjoy these moments." Sharna Burgess, a fellow "DWTS" contestant and a new mom herself, stated, "Throwing elbows in there! I oddly miss this feeling❤️." "Baby boy's dancing in his Mummy's tummy! ?," a third fan quipped. A curious fan asked, "Is that an arm or a leg? ?.”
Murgatroyd shared this super cute bonding and relatable experience with her unborn child after she and her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, joined forces with their six-year-old son together to reveal the sex of their second child.
The pro-dancer couple revealed their expected baby's sex via a joint video post shared on Instagram. In it, the twosomes put out a simple dance routine, as they often do, to accompany the big announcement in all-black outfits.
The tot's gender reveal footage also featured Shai, who joined his exciting parents with a piece of paper with the word "boy" written on it; thus giving the dead giveaways to thrilled fans that they were expecting a bouncing baby boy soon. The long-winded caption of the big announcement partly read:
"It's a……[three blue heart emojis]. The Chmerkovskiys are creating their soccer team LOL! We're so glad Shai will get a baby brother and cannot wait to meet this little guy."
The two-time Mirrorball Trophy winner further updated their unborn child, writing, "He is already measuring quite large ? and loves to kick mummy in the ribs at all night hours!"
Ultimately, the doting mother informed viewers that the baby is "fully healthy" and even quipped that her house would be "FULL of boys," including the family dog Hachi. She added, "I guess this means we must try for baby number 3 to get that girl."
Without a doubt, the lovebirds' social media post was full of supportive and congratulatory comments from admirers and fellow "DWTS" pros, who couldn't hide their excitement over the fantastic news.
Chmerkovskiy's brother's wife Jenna Johnson penned, "Rome's bff is coming so soon!!!!" Nikki Garcia wrote, "Awww yay!! Love so much!!" Lindsay Arnold added, "My baby girl can't wait for her little boyfriend + dance partner!"
Peta Murgatroyd Was Grateful For Her Popping Baby Bump At 27 Weeks
Before the gender reveal, the mother of one went showy with her blooming baby bump at 27 weeks. The professional dancer, brewing with appreciation and excitement, shared a short video of her huge baby bump on her IG Story.
The "Burn the Floor" star was rocking a tan sheep-skin boot with matching black jogger pants and a long-sleeve sweater that exposed her popping stomach as she rolled it to her underboobs.
The Australian ballroom dancer also accompanied her outfit with a pair of sunglasses on the crown of her head and styled her blonde hair into a sleek bun. The 36-year-old, in the clip, expressed that she was grateful but still surprised that she was carrying her second pregnancy.
In her words, Murgatroyd said, "27 weeks with this baby. I cannot believe this. I still wake up sometimes and go, wait a second; how, why? I'm just so grateful." The upload also came with a white text that read: "27-weeks… it's wild. I promise there is only one baby in there."
