On Friday, Madison shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting a photo of her kids wearing shirts containing the announcement.
The TLC star’s daughter had on a “big sister” shirt while her son was wearing a “big brother” shirt.
Maddie captioned the post: “The picture says it all!
“The Brush family is growing by one early February.”
The news comes two years after Maddie and her husband, Caleb, welcomed their youngest child – a daughter called Evie.
Their daughter was born in August 2019 and, shortly after, Kody and Janelle’s daughter revealed that the tot was diagnosed with FATCO syndrome.
The rare genetic disorder causes limb malformation and led to Evie undergoing an amputation on her leg.
She also had to have her hand “clipped,” according to her mom.

Roughly a year after her birth, Evie was able to walk for the first time with a prosthetic leg.
‘TESTING IT OUT’
At the time, Maddie took to Instagram to share a sweet Boomerang of her then-one-year-old wobbling around as she tried out a prosthetic.
She held onto her daughter as she helped her walk a few steps.
She captioned the clip: “Testing it out.”
Prior to posting the clip, Maddie told fans “they were cuddling in bed because [Evie] had an emotional moment.”
She went on: “So I was trying to put her to sleep and now we’re just cuddling.
“The prosthetic was too big and it needs to be a little bit smaller so we have another fitting on Friday and then hopefully, next Friday we’ll have a prosthetic.”
It marked the first time that Evie has been able to try walking with her new prosthetic after getting the mold done almost a month ago.
In early October, the reality TV star shared a Boomerang gif on Instagram of herself holding Evie as the prosthetist worked on getting her fit for the artificial limb.
She captioned the post: “Big day for Miss Evie! First molding for her prosthetic!”
They didn’t get to go home with a prosthetic the same day as the molding, as Maddie explained that there are multiple stages to the process and it might be a while until it’s complete.
The mother of two, who also shares son Axel with husband Caleb Brush, told Instagram followers: “Evie was molded for a socket… Markings [were made] to show where the special points are. Where it needs to be molded specially for her socket.
“So, then he’s going to mold a clear socket and we go back and he fits her with the clear socket so he can see what it looks like. Does she need extra room here? Is this spot too tight?
“And then when he’s fixed the clear socket and it looks good in a clear socket, he will then make a prosthetic.”
Once Evie is outfitted with a prosthetic, she will get a new one every six months as she grows.
Maddie added that she plans to continue to share updates because it’s all a “learning process” for her and her husband but they want to bring awareness “for the purpose of normalization.”
Maddie has been open with her fans about her daughter’s condition.
DIAGNOSIS DETAILS
After revealing the youngster’s health issues and how doctors handled them, Maddie shared a photo of herself and her daughter in the hospital.
Evie had her left leg wrapped in a blue cast that was attached to a black belt.
The toddler had her right hand covered in additional medical bandaging as her mom hugged her close wearing a face mask.
Maddie captioned the post: “Evie received some major gifts for her 1st birthday.
“her surgeon laid the groundwork for her new foot and mobility it will bring, by way of a body amputation.
“Another gave her some extra mobility in her hand, by clipping her webbing she had in her right hand.”
Maddie’s dramatic delivery of when she gave birth to her daughter was captured on the season finale of Sister Wives earlier this year.
