“This is an incredibly exciting time for us filled with hope, anticipation, and hormones. Well, only I’m filled with hormones, but everyone in the family gets to enjoy them,” Heigl joked.

Heigl, 37, and Kelley, 34, adopted Naleigh from South Korea in September 2009 when she was 9 months old.

Adelaide was adopted domestically and joined the family in 2012.
