REAL Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby gave birth on Tuesday and welcomed her second son with husband Michael Darby.
Just yesterday, the now-mom of two had shared the stunning pictures of her maternity shoot.
Ashley, 32, is now a mom of two as she revealed the amazing news on her Instagram stories on Tuesday night.
Talking to her phone just moments after giving birth, with her newborn on her chest, she told RHOP fans: “Hello, my darlings. Thank you all so much for the kind and warm wishes that you sent to us.
“This is our sweet baby born today. He’s absolutely incredible and amazing, and we’re over-the-moon excited.”
“Michael just left the hospital to go be with Dean and give him some loving, and it’s crazy how much I miss my son right now even though I’m so happy and so blissful with this little guy,” the reality TV star continued.
“I just want us all to be together as a family and I know it’ll happen soon. This journey of motherhood just really keeps on getting better.”
“Much love babes,” she ended her stories.
Moments before her message, she had shared a video of Michael fawning over her and kissing her forehead while she lay in her hospital bed with a face mask on.
Just a few hours before giving birth, the housewife had shared her stunning maternity shoot with fans.
Ashley posted the blooming photos showing off her growing bump to her Instagram account with the caption: “We are moments away from uniting with our sweet son. I’m experiencing every emotion in the rainbow right now.”
In the trio of photos the reality star is seen relaxing in a bath of cloudy water surrounded by flowers and garlands, her modesty protected with some strategically placed hands and blooms.
Underneath the beautiful photos fans rushed to heap compliments and congratulations on Ashley.
One wrote: “Omg you look gorgeous.”
“Beautiful congratulations, ” gushed another.
While a third penned: “Beautiful! Praying for a beautiful and healthy delivery and baby.”
In another photo, Ashley is seen wearing sheer blue lingerie and a glorious puffy dressing gown in the same color.
Standing in front of a background of white swirls the momma looked angelic, something she echoed in her caption – “To say I’m on Cloud 9 would be an understatement of epic proportions.”
Ashley and her husband, Michael Darby, already have 20-month-old son Dean Michael, and were delighted to find out they were having another boy.
The RHOP star announced the sex of her baby back in November last year with a video of Michael riding his bike around Washington, D.C., before arriving at a blue banner that reads: “It’s a boy!!!”
Ashley made sure to pay tribute to her beautiful son Dean with a heartfelt post featuring an adorable photo of them holding hands.
She wrote underneath: “It’s really hitting me – these are the last moments of Dean being my only baby. While I’m beyond words excited for our growing family, I have to give space and acknowledgement for the journey Dean and I have been on thus far.”
Last year, Ashley shocked viewers and her fellow housewives when she bragged that she has had threesomes with husband Michael.
The Bravo star made the revelation just days after admitting she “smells” Michael’s underwear to catch him cheating.
The 32-year-old was confronted by Candiace Dillard and Gizelle Bryant over allegations that a mutual friend had seen Michael at a strip club and he had claimed to have a “wife and a boyfriend.”
Candiace asked Ashley: “I know you don’t ask direct questions but do you ask indirect quesitons?”
“I don’t just ask questions, Candiace,” Ashley then shared, “I reads emails, text messages, I sniff underwear, everything.”
Gizelle began giggling into her sweater as Candiace laughed out loud, and Ashley added: “I swear to God.”
