The expectant mother is nearly 22 weeks pregnant
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard made a new style choice more than halfway through her pregnancy at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
On Monday, Sept. 16, the expectant mother, 33, shared a photo to her Instagram Stories showing off her baby bump at nearly 22 weeks.
“Bump update 💕. 21 weeks +5 days,” she wrote in the text on the photo at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
In the photo, she smiled wide as she posed in a gray t-shirt and pink Nike shorts while holding her baby bump.
Along with the Monday update, Blanchard shared a photo alongside her boyfriend, Ken Urker, on Sunday, Sept. 15. The expectant parents embraced one another as they posed in all-black ensembles on what appeared to be a night out at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up star wore her blonde hair in a long blowout, prompting one follower to ask if she’s gotten extensions, which she confirmed she did at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
She also informed one user that she’s having “a very healthy pregnancy.”
The recent hair change follows a series of hair transformations she’s made since she was released from prison early on Dec. 28. She served seven years in prison after she pleaded guilty for her role in the killing of her abusive mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
She said that she will donate her eight inches of hair, which she had chopped off the month after her release, to The Great Cut. Her first shot at the blonde style came in March, when she had icy blonde hair with golden blonde highlights. Her “natural” brunette hair color returned two months later. Subsequently, in July, Blanchard made her public appearance with a little shorter bob and highlights in dark blonde at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
That same month, Blanchard announced in a YouTube video that she was pregnant. Since then, she has updated followers about all aspects of her pregnancy, including changing her wardrobe to accommodate her growing baby bump and reading books about motherhood at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
In August, the expectant parents announced they were having a girl with a sex reveal involving balloons and confetti.
More recently, on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the couple posted a photograph of her latest ultrasound in a joint Instagram post.
“Our sweet baby girl 💕for our 20 week ultrasound. She is growing and measuring beautifully. #pregnancy #babygirl #newmom,” they wrote, alongside an ultrasound image of the baby’s head, arms and hands at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
Shortly after she announced her pregnancy, she spoke to PEOPLE about how she plans to approach motherhood.
I want to be the best mother I could be for this child. My mother told me I would never get married, raise a family, have kids, or do any of those things. Thus, I view my arrival at Pregnant Gypsy as a success and a personal goal that has allowed me to stand on my own two feet and become pregnant with my first kid.Rose Blanchard provides an update on her child and newfound beauty.”
“I want to be kind, that my kids come to me for any kind of advice, just like my stepmother [Kristy Blanchard]. I have seen how she has parented her children — and I think she’s a kick-ass mom,” she said at Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Posts Baby and New Beauty Update.
