Emily's oldest daughter announced her pregnancy on Instagram with a sweet photo of her sonogram.
She captioned the photo, "My heart is so full, but my stomach is so empty because she hates all food. I'm convinced."
Ricki seemingly revealed she is expecting a baby girl.
She did not disclose the father of her first child.
In another sonogram picture, Ricki wrote, "Netflix told me I'm not allowed to talk about it," referring to Huda Mustafa refusing to disclose details of her new romance on the Love Island USA reunion.
Emily has yet to comment on the pregnancy on her social media accounts.
PREGNANCY CLUES
Ricki traveled to New York last month to attend the Gracie Abrams concert.
She hid her baby bump by wearing baggy overalls.
Ricki also wore a baggy denim dress in May.

BIG FAMILY
Along with Ricki, Emily is also mom to young children Jennings, Gatlin, Gibson, Nola and Jones.
Emily and Tyler's youngest son Jones has Down syndrome and a rare congenital colon abnormality.
Emily told People of her son's diagnosis, "I was in shock. It was not on my radar at all. And I refused to believe it. I just wanted to hold him and for everything to be OK."
She credited her oldest daughter for being there for her as her son was in the NICU, "She's been my best buddy through everything. When I was in the hospital she sent me 47 roses to represent Jones' 47 chromosomes."
Emily added, "He's the easiest baby and he's just been our biggest blessing.
"I'm still learning about Down syndrome, but I'm trying to also just experience Jones as Jones and not as different than any of the other kids."
