On Friday, Kelis showed us a glimpse of her baby girl, “Baby G,” while expressing what it’s like to be a mom to a daughter.
Posting a pic of her daughter’s arm, Kelis wrote, “It’s funny, I have been a boy mom for so long and I was completely content with super hero’s, weapons and war games.

That’s why I used the First Response Early Result test as it can tell you if you’re pregnant 6 days sooner than your missed period.”
Congrats, Kelis!
