Madison LeCroy gives BIRTH! Southern Charm star details traumatic 48-hour labor and reveals second child's name
Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy confirmed the arrival of her second child and detailed her traumatic 48-hour labor story on Thursday. The reality TV fixture, 34, revealed to Us Weekly that she gave birth to a daughter named Teddi — her first child with husband Brett Randle, 38 — on Sunday, June 29. Madison named her newborn after her late father, Ted LeCroy, who died in 2023. The star is also mom to son, Hudson, 12, whom she shares with her first husband, Josh Hughes. Madison revealed that Teddi required time in the NICU after being born via C-section at just 34 weeks, which is roughly eight months into pregnancy. 'I was in labor for 48 hours basically [because] my water broke at home,' she said of the 'crazy' start to her birth experience. Madison, who is based in South Carolina, was thrown for a loop when she went into labor at 2:30 a.m. after attending a concert for her mother Tara LeCroy's birthday. At the time, her husband Randle was across the country in California for work. 'I ran upstairs, and I was like, 'Mom, I don't have anything packed,'' Madison recalled. 'It was funny 'cause me and her both were like in my closet trying to pick out what we were gonna wear to the hospital.' When she finally arrived to the hospital, Madison learned that she was one centimeter dilated. Being that she was only eight months into her pregnancy when her water broke, Madison said that the doctors tried as long as they could to delay Teddi's delivery. 'We kind of prolonged the labor and Brett got here and then we waited another day and had the C-section and there she was five minutes later,' she explained. After spending 48 hours in labor, Madison was forced to send Teddi to the NICU for 'a few days' because it is hospital 'protocol' for premature babies. 'She's a little. She's only five pounds, but she's breathing on her own and hasn't needed any oxygen or anything like that,' Madison shared. 'She's kind of a little trooper.' Madison said that her doctors were 'shocked with how early she was that she was gonna be this independent. So I was like, "Oh, I wasn't shocked at all."' Madison then shared what music she listened to during her C-section. 'My doctor, she's amazing. And at this point she was, like, a friend, and we were sitting there talking and we were like, "What's the playlist gonna be for this?"' Madison recalled to Us Weekly. 'And we were joking around, we're like, "Girl power, let's go Taylor Swift." So we did, we rocked out to Taylor Swift during the surgery. 'So that's what she was born to. Now don't ask me what song, because at that point I don't have no idea. But yeah, girl mode all the way.' In order to feel and look her best for Teddi's early arrival, Madison said she called in her glam squad last-minute. 'This is even crazier. Once I got [to the hospital] and I realized I didn't even have, like, a toothbrush, I ended up having like my glam come to me,' she shared. 'I did a blowout and then I did a little fast face, like, makeup natural with one of my girls.' Madison also spoke to PageSix about her newborn daughter and her reasoning for naming her after her late father, Ted. She said that she wanted her dad's name to 'live on through [her] baby,' adding, 'We might as well just make the name continue to grow.' In regards to Teddi's arrival, she told the outlet that her and Randle are 'super excited and just living in pure bliss at the moment. It doesn't even feel real.' Madison and her husband, who have married since November 2022 when they tied the knot in Mexico, shared the happy news that they were expecting in February. 'And just like that... our world is changing in the most magical way! ✨ Seeing 'Pregnant' on this @clearbluetest was the best moment of our lives. We can't wait to meet you, little one,' she captioned her Instagram post announcing the news. The reality TV star said she was 'shocked' when her pregnancy test came back positive. 'Honestly, when Brett and I were making this plan of growing our family, I was like, 'Okay, we've got to make this as easy as possible,'' she shared with People. 'So I actually started using the Clearblue ovulation test, and I got a smiley face. Once we got the smiley face, we were like, 'Okay, it's go time,' and it instantly happened.' 'I was shocked, I thought I had all summer long, but it happened and I felt actually pretty great other than some minor headaches,' LeCroy continued. 'But other than that, just eating all the food and enjoying myself.' The good news comes after Brett's diagnosis with thyroid cancer and the death of her father in 2023. 'I honestly was pinching myself because I hadn't heard good news in it felt like the last two years, so to hear something that was so positive and something that we've been wanting and looking forward to was just super exciting,' she shared. 'And of course, everybody in our family and everybody was rooting for us.' She shared how excited she is, saying she's so happy to finally share the news with her fans. 'I'm ecstatic. I just can't get enough. I'm so glad to finally be able to talk about it, she said. 'I've been in hiding for too long, and so I'm excited to be able to show the bump off.' Madison shared that the first person she told about her pregnancy was her 'best friend,' her son Hudson. He was my first one that I told,' she shared. 'And yeah, he was excited. Obviously, at first he's like, 'Eh.' 'And then we recently got a puppy, so he goes, 'Actually I really love caring, so might as well.' I was like, 'Okay. This is going to be way different, but okay,'' Since it's been 12 years since she had her first baby, LeCroy explained that things are a bit different this time around. 'It's the total opposite than what I experienced at 22 years old,' she explained. I had the glowing skin and I had all that, and this is the opposite. 'I'm exhausted, full-blown adult acne, and didn't lose any weight at the beginning, versus [with] Hudson, I was starting off in a negative. So I can just tell it's a 12-year difference.'

Memorial Day brings foot traffic to Topeka mall
TOPEKA (KSNT) – While rain hindered some outdoor activity plans this Memorial Day, people were able to spend it in other ways. Businesses at West Ridge Mall saw many customers walk the halls and come into their storefront. 'Today is very busy. People are packing in,' Petland employee Josh Hughes said. 'And again, I think you're right, I think it's the weather. But I also think it's just the energy today. People are off, so they're coming in and that's the way it's been going.' While not everybody can take the day off, one shift lead at Cafe Barnabas says that he enjoys being able to serve people and make their day a little better during the holiday. 'Memorial Day and holidays are always a busy time for us to serve the community,' Noah Cox said. 'It warms my heart to see people wanting to come in and spend time with us. Families enjoying what the mall has to offer.' Both Hughes and Cox tell 27 News that this Memorial Day was one of the busier days they've seen at the mall in a while. For more local news, click here.

Final vote on controversial North Myrtle Beach development to hit likely delay
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — City leaders on Monday will be asked to postpone a crucial vote that would decide the fate of a sprawling 609-home subdivision near the Carolina Bays Parkway. Developers behind The Preserve have spent months working through concerns lodged at their project — from density and green space to road maintenance and driveway sizes. A contentious meeting last week appeared to put the entire venture in doubt. It was originally pitched as a $250 million venture that would bring 804 homes and a 10,000-square-foot commercial building to 110 acres between Highway 22 and Carolina Bays Parkway. The Klotz Group of Companies, based in Florida, purchased the land in 2021 and last year announced its intentions. Since then, talks with city officials have changed the project's scope — cutting down the number of homes to 609 and removing the commercial aspect. Josh Hughes, whose Long Leaf Real Estate in Charleston is involved in The Preserve's development, likened its design last month to Market Common. Hughes said developers have been following guidance from the city's planning commission and council as they've altered plans — liking adding two-car garages to some cottages and clarifying public and private roads for maintenance purposes.
