Chrissy Teigen was following the royal baby news closely on Monday morning when she noticed something “weird” ― that Kensington Palace had tweeted out that the Duchess of Cambridge was in labor at a London hospital.

Once the palace tweeted the news, news outlets quickly picked it up and prepared for the arrival of her third royal baby with the Duke of Cambridge.

Teigen, of course, perfectly encapsulated just how odd it was that the whole world was on “vagina watch,” as she called it.

“Guys. It is time. For. VAGINA WATCH, 2018 (how WEIRD would this be???)” she wrote.

Twitter

Kensington Palace made the same announcements for the former Kate Middleton’s previous two pregnancies ― tweeting out when she was in labor and again when she’d given birth to Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Here is the tweet from George’s birth in 2013:

And the one for Charlotte’s birth in 2015:

The third royal baby was born Monday morning and weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces. According to the Palace, “Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.”

Teigen is on her own “baby watch,” as the supermodel and her husband, John Legend, are expecting their second child, who will also be a boy.

British Royal Babies Through The Years

On April 21, 1926, Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) was born.

Elizabeth (pictured here) learned of the death of her father, King George VI, and, subsequently, her accession to the throne in 1952, when she was only 25. Her coronation was held in June 1953. She also had a sister, Princess Margaret, who died in 2002. (credit:Universal History Archive via Getty Images)

Elizabeth married Prince Philip on Nov. 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey. They welcomed their first child, Prince Charles, on November 14, 1948. Charles had an especially close relationship with his grandmother, the queen mother, describing her as having "an immensely strong character, combined with a unique natural grace." He is next in line to the throne. (credit:Fox Photos via Getty Images)

Anne became a mother of two while married to her first husband, Mark Phillips (left), who reached the rank of captain while in the army and retired in 1978.

Anne's children did not receive royal titles, which are only inherited through royal sons, according to Town and Country's 2017 chat with Lucy Hume from Debrett's, a popular resource for British social skills. When the queen offered to give her grandchildren titles, Anne declined. She and Mark named their son Peter. (credit:Bettmann via Getty Images)

Anne welcomed another child with Mark in 1981: a daughter named Zara. After Anne and Mark's divorce, the princess married Timothy Laurence, a retired naval officer who was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 2011. (credit:Keystone via Getty Images)

Harry has been vocal about growing up royal. In an interview with CBS News in 2012, he joked that the dinner parties he had to attend as a kid were "pretty dull." (credit:Tim Graham via Getty Images)

There are perks to being a part of the royal family, of course. But in 2012, Harry made it clear that while he enjoys working with charities to bring about change, he also wonders what it would be like to have a different lifestyle. "There's a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish obviously that we were just, you know, completely normal," he told CBS News. (credit:Tim Graham via Getty Images)

Andrew was next to welcome a royal addition. In 1988, he and Sarah, the Duchess of York, whom he married in 1986, left the hospital with their newborn daughter, Princess Beatrice. (credit:Tim Graham via Getty Images)
