Mom-to-be Nicole “Coco” Austin bared her baby bump via Instagram Tuesday.

While showcasing her “shoe sanctuary,” the 36-year-old wife of rapper-actor Ice-T, 57, shared shots of her 34-week bump, and also introduced her new baby blog.

“Its finally up!!!” she wrote. “My baby blog at TheCocoBlog.com ..Its taken along time to put up cuz I practically wrote a mini book about my life, pre-Ice, pre-Chanel. Before I start posting all about #babyChanel (which is this week) I introduce you to who I really am and where I come from. In this blog experience this beautiful journey with me through pictures and heartful insight of my pregnancy..This was just taken today in my shoe sanctuary were I feel the most peaceful.. 34 weeks pregnant!!”

The model – who is expecting a daughter they’ve named Chanel – went on to talk about her “smooth” pregnancy.

“I hit my 34 week mark into pregnancy!” she wrote. “Why does Max always got to be in my pics and then looks at me crazy? He really is my little security guard never leaves my side….. Pregnancy is still going unbelievably smooth ! I have a little battle with heart burn but nothing to complain about.. Craving a lot more sweets than normal like frozen yogurt and #chanelnicole is a little over 4 pounds already! She moving even more now doing tumbling tricks or something like that because she’s very active and it feels like she doing somersaults in my tummy but then totally let’s me sleep at night.. And a funny thing too is my belly button is starting to poke out a bit. I think its cute. Just thought I might give you a weekly update!”

Chanel will be Coco’s first child and Ice-T’s third. The rapper-actor is already father to Tracy and Letesha, his two adult children from previous relationships.
