Gypsy-Rose Blanchardis enjoying life as a new mom.

“Honestly, just kind of taking her out in public a lot,” she tells PEOPLE. “We’ve had two or three outings so far. It’s been cold lately, so we have been staying a lot indoors, but with her being so little, I’m nervous just around people.”

“It’s Mardi Gras season,” she continues. “There’s just a lot of people, like the city is packed, so we’re still trying to be cautious of where to take her [and] when to take her.”

When Blanchard was asked abouther personal feelings of raising a daughter, she shared that she feels a bit “relieved” to have a girl rather than a boy.

“I kind of feel a little bit more relieved that we had a girl because I don’t know what to do with a little boy,” she admits to PEOPLE. “I’m a girly girl myself, so all the pink and ruffles and stuff like that, that’s my area of expertise.”

“I think despite my relationship with my mom, I think there is something special about a mother and daughter’s relationship that I am so blessed to be able to live through with her because I didn’t have that with my own mom,” Blanchard adds. “It’s nice that I can just step into that role of a mother and see how it’s supposed to be.”

“I had started dilating at 34 weeks and five days, so my OBGYN was keeping a close monitor on me, so we were having visits every week,” Blanchard explains. “So when I went in for, I want to say it was my 35th week, the expectation was that we were going to do an induction day, which would’ve been January 16th.”
