A three-year-old girl brought out stunned gasps and screams from her family members when she casually walked towards them in a “Big Sis” t-shirt to announce her mom’s pregnancy.
Lillian Eledge’s understated surprise brought out a series of wholesome reactions from her grandparents, aunts, and uncles, as well as her mom Madeline’s friends.
In July 2024, Lillian had started asking Madeline, 30, from Houston, Texas, when she would have a baby sibling.

When Madeline and her husband Michael, 32, found out the news that she was pregnant, the couple couldn’t wait to tell their daughter, friends, and family.
As Lillian was born at the end of 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, the couple were unable to tell their friends and family in person, and so they decided to call on the help of their daughter this time around.
Having broken the news to an excited Lillian, the couple set up a series of surprise announcements in Houston, Dallas, and Dripping Springs in Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas.
For the surprises, which took place in September and October, Lillian entered different rooms wearing her bright pink “Big Sis” t-shirt.
As soon as Madeline and Michael’s friends and family clicked what this meant, they let out a series of stunned expressions – all of which Madeline was able to capture on video.
Some surprises drew out such incredible reactions that Lillian has attempted to recreate them since.
Madeline, who is expecting another girl on April 27, 2025, said: “I was pregnant with Lillian at the end of 2020, COVID time, so we were not able to tell anyone in person, and I was so sad to not be able to do that.
“Once we found out we were pregnant this second time, I knew I’d drive all over the US to tell those I could in person.
“Everyone we surprised will be the ones celebrating this new baby the most.

“Every birthday, every holiday, every time someone’s sick – up and down – these folks are the ones who will be there.
“I know this because they’ve watched me grow up and been there for me or my husband in the same way.
“The video of the announcements has brought so many people so much joy.
“Our world is still so dark, and nothing makes people happier than babies and sappy videos!
“Another piece that people love so much is that we let big sister Lillian be the center of the story.
“She loved getting to surprise everyone.
“Some people’s reactions were so great, she’s even reenacted their surprises multiple times.”
