Why Gypsy Rose Blanchard Won’t Be Sharing Photos of Her Baby Girl

And while their family had to bite their tongues for a few days, once the news was public, Gypsy’s dad Rod Blanchard and stepmom Kristy Blanchard were thrilled to revel in the happy news, writing on Ken’s post, “Now we can scream it out to the world.”

Meanwhile, for her part, Gypsy shared her own update with followers two days later.

"Almost a week postpartum," she wrote on her Instagram Story, alongside a selfie showing off a soft smile and beige tank top. "Feeling more energized."

During her pregnancy, Gypsy often shared updates with her followers, including insight into her journey, from noticing her baby kicked more often at night to realizing eating sweets made for a more active baby.

She also reflected on how expecting a baby made her realize what kind of mother she wanted to be: the one she always wanted for herself.

"I have so much to focus on, making sure that I'm healthy for this baby," she said in a July interview with Good Morning America. "There’s this tiny little life that is inside of you and that little tiny life is a baby, a little tiny human that’s yours and that you have to make sure you protect, you love, you take care of, and all of the things that I wished I could’ve had when I was little.”

She continued, “All the things that I wanted in a mother, I’m going to give to this baby."
