‘The feeling she has is unlike anything she’s experienced before … bringing the baby home has been the greatest joy and most sacred experience,’ the source said. ‘Kylie feels like everything is coming very naturally to her and that being a mom is what she’s meant to do. She’s loving every minute and cherishing these first few days.’
Kylie’s anticipation had built to a crescendo over the past nine months, the source explained.
‘Kylie felt so ready to meet the baby and had been counting down the weeks for what felt like forever, she can’t believe she’s finally here and in her arms and this journey is beginning,’ the source said.
The youngest daughter of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner was ‘very relieved’ after publicly revealing the news on Sunday – via an Instagram post and an extensive Youtube video – after keeping a low profile throughout the pregnancy, which the insider said took something of a toll on her.

Kylie’s childbirth went smoothly, as the source said there was ‘a very peaceful and calm’ mood at the hospital, and that her nerves were calmed by the presence of Scott, his family, and of course, the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The source said Kylie ‘loved that Travis and her family were with her every step of the way,’ noting that ‘the family is closer than ever and just so thrilled to be growing at such a rapid pace.’
Kylie’s ‘Momager’ Kris Jenner has provided ‘constant support’ throughout the process, according to the insider. A separate source told the outlet that that the magic of motherhood impacted Kylie in a big way when her due date arrived.
‘She is so in love and feels like this is what she was put on this earth for,’ the source said. ‘Kylie was ready for the baby to arrive, but says nothing can prepare you for the moment of the actual arrival.’
The source said that a ‘very nervous’ Kylie ‘knew she was in good hands at the hospital,’ as she was flanked by an inner circle including her mother, Scott, his mother, and her confidante Jordyn Woods during what was a ‘smooth and quick delivery’ process.

Kylie’s bond with Scott was strengthened over the past few days, as she ‘fell in love’ with the Houston rapper ‘all over again though this process,’ the source said. The Antidote performer ‘was very much there for her throughout the entire delivery and stayed overnight with her in the hospital while she was recovering.’
Scott’s early interactions with his baby daughter ‘made Kylie feel very safe and happy,’ the insider said, adding that Kylie ‘loves her little family that she has created.
While Kylie and Scott have yet to make public the name of their baby, the insider told E! to expect something with a ‘hidden meaning’ related to butterflies.
‘Kylie decorated the baby’s nursery in white, baby pink and there are butterfly accents,’ the source said. ‘Butterflies mean a lot to both Travis and Kylie and it’s a symbol of their relationship and something special that they have created together.’
