Paula Pickard, who appeared on early seasons of MTV’s Jersey Shore, is soaking up every moment of her pregnancy before welcoming her little one.
On June 16, Pickard, 37, shared a series of photos from her baby shower on Instagram, including a sweet snapshot of herself cradling her growing baby bump. Alongside the post, she hinted that fans may not see many more pregnancy updates before her daughter makes her debut.
“Probably one of the last photo ops you’ll see of me until baby Summer arrives,” she wrote in the caption.
In another heartfelt post from the celebration, Pickard gave fans a closer look at the milestone and shared an update on her pregnancy.
“Yesterday we celebrated our growing family with almost all of our friends, family, coworker families (shout out to Beachcomber) and my favorite people to serve when I’m working,” she wrote, referring to the iconic Jersey Shore bar where the coed baby shower took place.
She added that “Baby Summer is so loved already” and thanked everyone who attended what she described as a “super untraditional coed Sunday Funday bar baby shower.”
Pickard also revealed she’s now 32 weeks pregnant and expects baby Summer to arrive in about six to eight weeks.
“I feel ok, just normal pregnancy discomfort,” she shared. “Nesting has taken over and now it’s time to set up for her arrival and finish out this last month of work. Our family is looking forward to finally being complete and we can’t wait to meet our Sunny baby girl.”
Longtime Jersey Shore fans will remember Pickard from the MTV reality series, where she worked at the Shore Store and later became known for her on-again, off-again romance with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.
Their relationship became a memorable storyline during the show’s original run. After years of flirting, the pair officially dated during Season 6, though things ended dramatically when Sorrentino surprised Pickard by breaking up with her over dinner.
Despite the split, Pickard remained a fan favorite among many viewers, who appreciated her down-to-earth personality amid the show’s larger-than-life cast.
Much has changed for both since their Jersey Shore days. Sorrentino, 43, went on to marry his college sweetheart, Lauren Sorrentino, and the couple now shares three children. Pickard, meanwhile, has largely stayed out of the reality TV spotlight, occasionally giving followers glimpses into major life milestones on social media.
Her latest update marks one of the biggest yet, as she’s now counting down the days until baby Summer arrives.
