Kelly Rowland has found her destiny in motherhood.
"I'm excited to bring a child into the world," she told Elle.com about her first child, a son with husband Tim Witherspoon. "Sharing that experience with my husband is probably the most beautiful part."
The former Destiny's Child singer revealed she was expecting by posting an Instagram photo of two pairs of Air Jordan sneakers, an adult male set alongside one fit for a baby boy.
It's hard keeping secrets in her celebrity world, and Rowland will be the first to admit she's still figuring things out as far as how exposed her child will be to the limelight.
"I just plan to play it by ear. Everybody has their normal," she said.
"Sometimes, award shows are part of that," the 33-year-old singer continued. "I have girlfriends who have that experience, and they'll say, 'You know, I just really didn't want to be without my child today.' And it's just that simple. It's about finding your normal, whatever that may be."
It may not be the norm, however, for the everyday pregnant woman to be draped in high-fashion garbs, as Rowland appears on the magazine's website. But she also sheds the frocks for a topless and nude photo, too.
"The body should be celebrated," she said.
Still, she relates closely to fans and other expectant mothers by being a crusader for staying healthy throughout one's pregnancy.
"Everybody always tells you to go crazy with food, and you can eat whatever you want," she said. "It's fine to have your cravings but I wanted an easier delivery."
In order to successfully deliver with ease, Rowland has kept to the healthy regime she enjoyed pre-pregnancy straight through on her road to becoming a first-time mom.
"All the women that I've talked to, that have worked out, have such an easy and speedy delivery," she added. "Exercise really helps that.
"And I like being able to have peaceful sleep at night, though there's no such thing as that now in the last trimester," Rowland confessed. "I still walk two miles everyday. I still work out. It's important to me."
Other important things to the singer are feeding her cravings, moderately, of course.
"I love cherry pie and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in it," she described. "And I had a week straight where I was obsessed with nachos."
With marriage and motherhood now realities in Rowland's life, she looks to other celebrity women like Diana Ross and Donna Summer for inspiration on making it all come together.
"They've managed to do it all," she said. "I think, 'What makes me different? I can definitely do it.'"
