"I also can’t believe I am going to have a middle schooler and a second grader," Cardwell continued of Kaitlyn, 11, and her youngest daughter, Kylee, 7.
"Give me a minute while I go cry my eyes out," the sibling of childhood star Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson expressed. "I am so proud of my girls and everything they have accomplished."
