Pregnant Gypsy Rose Blanchard took to Instagram to share a milestone development with her followers.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is sharing an exciting pregnancy update with her followers. The 33-year-old mom-to-be took to Instagram on Wednesday to celebrate another pregnancy milestone.
"I'm 16 weeks and our little one is the size of an avocado!" Blanchard wrote alongside a photo of herself in a supermarket holding an avocado in front of her stomach.
"I love watching my baby bump grow💗" the excited mom added.
Blanchard had previously posted and then deleted an earlier update where she'd written that her baby was "the size of a banana," but explained in the comment to her new post that she'd been misinformed.
"I was using Pregnancy + App but it was giving me inaccurate fruit comparisons so I switched," Blanchard wrote. "Sorry for the confusion."
Blanchard -- who is currently going through a divorce from her husband of nearly two years, Ryan Anderson -- announced in July that she and boyfriend Ken Urker are expecting their first child together.
The Lifetime star is due in January 2025 and has previously told her followers that she and Urker, 31, want to find out if they are expecting a baby boy or a baby girl as soon as possible -- through a reveal party, of course!
As they wait, Gypsy has kept busy by doing interviews to talk about her pregnancy and shut down any speculation over her child's paternity. She recently talked with ABC's Juju Chang and asserted that her pregnancy is only attributable to Urker.
"This is absolutely 100 percent Ken's baby," she told the reporter. Urker is her former fiancé with whom she rekindled a romance seemingly around April. That same month, she filed for divorce from Anderson, but she says they actually split in March.
Just days before her ABC interview, she talked with People and explained that she views the pregnancy as a second chance at life and a way to end the cycle of abuse she endured at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
Gypsy suffered years of Factitious disorder imposed on another (formerly known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy), during which her mother had her undergo unnecessary medical treatment and procedures.
Infamously, Gypsy plotted with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to kill her mother after suffering years of abuse. She served seven years of a 10-year sentence before being released in December from prison.
In Gypsy's pregnancy announcement on YouTube, she strongly expressed her desire to give her baby a better life than she had.
"All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby," she told fans in her pregnancy announcement on July 9. "Knowing that I am a mother now, and I'm happy, and I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn't."
Gypsy has been mostly covering her life updates on her Instagram and YouTube since her prison release, but told ET in May that the end of her own public life is "coming really soon."
"I think everything has been very hyped up, and I've had wonderful opportunities, but I don't see those lasting, and I think there comes a time where I have to make a choice," she said. "And that is, when do I say enough is enough? And I think after so long of having my name in the spotlight, that time is coming really soon."
