Another Baby on the Way for the Duggar Family!

And baby makes how many?
If you were absolutely positive that this post was going to be about Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar expanding their brood, think again! Today, Josh and Anna Duggar spilled the expectant parent beans! In a few short months, they’ll be welcoming another baby Duggar to their growing bunch — and baby girl (or boy!) will join big sister Mackynzie, 3, and big brother Michael, 21 months.
But the biggest question we all have is will they shoot for another ‘M’ name? Not surprisingly, mom and dad are mum on baby’s name — and gender! Anna and Josh know what they’re having but prefer not to tell. As far as a name goes, Josh says “We’ve been throwing around name ideas and we are pretty certain we have it down to two. We will have to see.”
Typical Hollywood, makin’ us wait! Ugh!
In 2010, Josh and Anna suffered a miscarriage and less than a year later, his parents suffered the same loss. Mama Duggar, Michelle, miscarried what would have been Baby Duggar #20, a baby girl they’d planned to name Jubilee.
Speaking candidly about their loss and thinking ahead to their future, Anna says that the family of four has “learned to cherish each day. Jubilee has affected our lives, and every child is so special regardless of how long their life is.”
And there’s no denying that their baby-to-be will touch their hearts as well!
Congratulations to Josh, Anna, big siblings Mackynzie and Michael and the rest of the Duggar clan!

Hi there. I have been watching the Duggars on their 19 Kids and Counting show on TLC. I wanted to point out, that it was Michelle that had the miscarriage of baby Jubilee not Anna. Wasn’t sure if you noticed that.
Thanks for sharing.

My daughter is pregnant…I am looking for the growth chart Anna Duggar used to show her daughter how big the baby was that week. It was a flip chart with images…shaped like an egg. She had it hanging on a nail in the hall.
