Baby No. 19 for the Duggars?
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, parents of 18 with a granddaughter on the way, made a big announcement Tuesday morning. The Duggars, stars of the TLC show "18 Kids and Counting," shared the news on the "Today" show that they are expecting their 19th baby! Their son Joshua and daughter-in-law Anna are also expecting, with their baby girl due to arrive this fall. Michelle shared her thoughts on being pregnant on her TLC blog. In a post titled, "Baby News Surprises Everyone, Even Mama," the mom of nearly 20 children wrote that she had believed her childbearing years to be concluded, until she was pleasantly surprised to be pregnant again. "I don't take pregnancy for granted, either," she wrote. "I thought we might be done. I was a little sad about it, but I just accepted it was a stage of my life and perhaps God felt my family was complete." She also wrote about being pregnant while her daughter-in-law is also expecting: "You know, it's funny being pregnant when expecting our first grandchild. If my mom were here, she'd be crying. This is just like my mom and my sister. "My oldest sister Pam was expecting when my mom had me. My nephew and I are 3 months apart, and I have a nephew and a niece older than me! I grew up with my nieces and nephews around all the time, and we were all so close. I wish that for my grandchild and this baby." As she wrapped up her blog post, Michelle added, "Anna is really such a cute pregnant mommy. She has only seven weeks left. They've taken all their classes on natural childbirth and we're just hoping for uneventful, healthy delivery for her, and then for me!"[Read full story on The Insider]
