Speaking of hospital updates, the former Netflix star recently showed her fans how she and her beau packed for their newborn's delivery. She uploaded a short clip with Adeline Hill's "Moment to Memories" music that showed her arranging her childbirth necessities.

In it, she packaged items, like ice pads, towels, snacks, clothes, pampers, underwear, wipes, headbands, and toiletries, in labeled ziplock. After, the television personality kept the ticketed items in two bags tagged "MOMMY BAG" and "BABY NECESSITIES."

"Packing my Hospital Bag ? Ignore my ocd with being over-packed as I've always been the over-prepared one & we have a lot going on, so we had extra bags packed just in case."
