Sofia Richie looked as if she could give birth any day now after sharing new photos of her growing baby bump on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old model, who is expecting her second child with husband Elliot Grainge, shared a pair of low-key mirror selfies on Instagram that highlighted just how much her bump had grown since her last update weeks earlier.

'Big plans,' she captioned the photos, which showed her in a rolled-up white T-shirt and charcoal maternity pants that matched a jacket that she wore unbuttoned.

Lionel Richie's daughter also chose a figure-hugging gray shirt or bodysuit that traced the outline of her stomach beneath her pulled-up shirt. 

She accessorized with a large leopard-print handbag, and she put on a pair of slim black sunglasses in her second photo.

Richie, who revealed her baby's sex in January, revealed back in November that she was around five months along, meaning that she is likely close to her ninth month now.

Several stars jumped into the comments to compliment and cheer on the model, including Vanessa Hudgens, who wrote, 'Excited for youuuu.' 

Kathy Hilton and Emily In Paris star Ashley Park also offered positive comments, though they both kept it simple by posting a barrage of heart-eyed smiley faces. 

Richie and her husband already share a daughter, Eloise, who will turn two in May. 

Earlier this year, the couple revealed that they were expecting a boy when Richie shared photos from her baby shower.

'Showering boy momma to be,' she wrote, while adding a blue heart and a bottle emoji.

Last year, Richie shared a sentimental post about celebrating her daughter Eloise's first birthday as a new mother. 

'I didn't realize her first birthday was going to be such a mix of emotion for me,' she wrote in the caption of her social media post. 

'On one hand, it's the most amazing, beautiful milestone,' she added.

'Big plans,' she wrote. The photos showed her in a rolled-up white T-shirt and charcoal maternity pants with a matching jacket. Richie also had on a figure-hugging gray shirt or bodysuit that traced the outline of her stomach under her pulled-up shirt

The couple are already parents to daughter Eloise, who was born in May 2024

'On the other hand, I look back and realize those tiny little moments are something I'll never get back. Watching her grow has been a gift.'

Richie gushed about her firstborn child, prior to her second pregnancy: 'My greatest achievement will ALWAYS be her.' 

The proud, expecting mother continued: 'She has given me purpose, and I am nothing without her. Elliot and I couldn't love anything in this life more. 

'I don't know what I did to deserve my little buggie, but all I know is my heaven is right here on earth with her. So beyond blessed.' 

She also shared her thoughts and experience with pregnancy and motherhood during an interview with Vogue in January 2024.

'Pregnancy is really scary,' she told the outlet. 'I didn't realize there are so many milestones you have to hit and so many tests you have to take.'

She continued about marriage and first-time parenthood: 'For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple.

'I've learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life,' she added. 'And also just like what the female body is capable of.'
