While one family on Sister Wives may be falling apart, another family is about to increase in size by 33.3%.
And, based on the latest Maddie Brown photo, it looks like this may happen at any second.
The daughter of Kody Brown and wife Janelle, Maddie updated her Instagram account over the weekend with a look at her growing baby bump.
And it’s hard not to wonder just how much bigger it will get!
“I feel like I’m 80% belly! But we can’t wait to meet this little man!” the 21-year-old captioned the cute picture below, adding the hashtags “#Pregnancy,” and “#BabyBoy” to her post.
Brown and Brush got married in June of last year, exchanging vows in Bozeman, Montana in front of the former’s many loved ones.
They confirmed the gender of their impending child in January.
“We are both super excited for our little boy,” Maddie and Caleb told Us Weekly at the time, adding:
“Although we had a good hunch that it was a boy, it’s nice to finally know, so we can start preparing!”
That really is quite the baby bump, isn’t it?
Maddie’s exciting news comes at a time when her family could really use a distraction.
For several months now, there’s been chatter about Kody and various Sister Wives, with talk growing stronger and stronger that at least one split was imminent.
In December, for example, we were led to believe that Kody and Robyn were over and that Robyn was on her way back to Utah, in desperate need of a break from Kody and the chaos that surrounds his life.
Reportedly, Kody’s worries about the family’s legal entanglements and an utter lack of privacy led to a suffocating sense of paranoia in the Brown home.
And, consequently, led to Robyn’s decision.
“There were a lot of communication issues and a lot of fighting,” a source told Radar Online in December. “Kody is really bad at handling stressful situations.”
Just a few weeks prior to this rumor, fans also wondered about the status of Kody and Meri Brown, the latter of whom got herself into an embarrassing catfishing situation early last year.
Issues for these two have gone back a very long time; they stem from Meri’s jealousy of Kody’s other wives and also from her unfortunate inability to get pregnant.
It didn’t help that Meri fell for a guy last spring who turned out to be a woman playing an awful prank on her.
This is all a long, paragraph-filled way of saying that Maddie’s pregnancy has arrived at just the right time for the Browns.
They could really use the blessing of new life right about now.
Not only does this baby mark Maddie and Caleb’s very first… it also marks the first grandchild in the entire Brown family.
The polygamous unit stars in its own hit TLC reality series, which is centered around Maddie’s father Kody Brown and his four wives: Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
Kody has 18 total children altogether with his wives.
No word yet on what Maddie and Caleb will name their kid.
But he is due in about right weeks, right around the time we think Beyonce is due with her twins.
“We are both really excited and anxious,” Maddie told People Magazine last fall, adding:
“I think every soon-to-be parent is anxious, but we have so much support from both sides of our family.”
We wish Maddie the best of luck in the final trimester of her pregnancy.
