Duggar Family adding Baby #19

The Duggar Family is very well known, at least in the United States for more than just the amount of children their reality tv show. The Duggar Family

consists of the two parents and 18 children, all these children are natural births…not one was adopted. Each year it seems the “Duggar’s” have another announcement and this year has definitely been a year of announcements.

Duggar Family Announcements:

-Josh Duggar (one of the older children) went and got married
-Anna Duggar, Josh’s wife has announced she’s pregnant. This will be the very first Duggar grandchild.

Now we hear the Duggar’s Reality Show will be changing the name. Why? Michelle Duggar is once again pregnant, this time with baby number 19. I’m guessing this is just one of those ladies that have the super easy pregnancies. You are one lucky lady. By the way this family is also known because of the amount of children, but also because they are debt-free and own their own home. The home that they built by the way, as a family.

Of course many will be waiting and watching with anticipation to see just how this family does it. But not only will they be welcoming another Duggar baby but a grandchild a few months prior. I know from just being pregnant and being around pregnant women, sometimes the green ugly pops up. Will Anna be okay with sharing the spotlight with her new mother-in-law?

For those of you curious as to how she found out, here’s what she told People magazine:

“I was wanting pickles and the older girls were saying, ‘Mom, you only crave these at the very beginning of being pregnant, You kept it from us before, now tell us. Are you?’” Michelle says. “And I kept telling them I wasn’t. I just wanted some pickles.”

But when she couldn’t lose weight on her diet, she became suspicious.

“I was in Weight Watchers with Jim Bob and I wasn’t losing any weight,” she says. “I couldn’t figure it out. I was doing what I should. And the baby, who was nursing, was fussy. I kept thinking, ‘This isn’t right. She isn’t teething, she doesn’t have an ear infection. I’m not cheating on my diet, I should be losing weight.’ Then, I put two and two together and wondered if I could possibly be pregnant.” 

I can think back on my own and figure out when I first realized, like Michelle, not were that noticeable to me, however others caught on immediately. Do you remember some cravings you had? Or your wife/girlfriend/sister/mom?

Now that we know she is going to have baby number 19, how long do you think until they reach 20? The last baby was born in December 2008, all the Duggar children begin with a “J” name. I wonder what this one will be. Can you think of any? Here’s the names so far:

Jim Bob (dad), Joshua, Jana & John-David (twins), Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah & Jeremiah (twins), Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer and Jordyn.
