Looks like the already supersized Duggar Family is growing again!
The newly married son of Jim and Michelle Duggar, Joshua, is expecting his first baby with wife Anna.
“I am very excited and am learning new ways every day that I can be there for my wife,” Joshua told People. “I thought that she would be the only one going through the emotions of pregnancy, but I’m right there with her.”
So “right there” that it was actually Joshua who gave Anna the big news.
“I took the pregnancy test, but I couldn’t bear to look at it because I didn’t want to be disappointed,” Anna explains. Joshua managed to keep the positive test a secret and announced it to the whole Duggar family, including Anna, later that night. “I said, ‘You’re going to join the Mommy team,’ ” Joshua says.
The couple lives near the rest of the family and runs their own car dealership in Springdale, Ark. Anna says she is benefiting from her mother-in-law’s experience in the pregnancy department:
“She told me to eat small meals frequently during the day to get through the morning sickness,” she says. “And she gave me apricot juice that I’ve been sipping. It really helps a lot.”
Babies are a real gift! I just received a wonderful Easter gift, my 5th grandchild. Enjoy your children, they grow way to fast!
Congratulations. I love the Duggar family. I think they have great family values. I wonder if all your babies’s names will be with the same first letter. Maybe A like their momma’s?
I wish them lots of luck
Love that show, they are a great caring family. The children are so neat and such good manners. Please do not replace this show.With the world in the shape it is today, we need more shows like this one. I look forward to this show and feel at peace when it is over.I really love the Duggar family and am real excited for Joshua and Anna they will make Great christian Parents.
I love this show, I look for new episodes all the time. I hope it stays on the air for years and years. They are a breath of fresh air. I also enjoy seeing how the Newlyweds are handling the everyday business of being married.

Congrats Josh and Anna. Your first baby is always your most memorable pregnancy. I cherished my first pregnancy and even kept a pregnancy journal that I hope to one day share with my daughter. Best of Luck to you both.

Personally I Think you are way too young!! Still kids yourselves! good luck i think u will need it!!.. & its not fair on the kids to keep having more & more. & its not healthy on the womans body 2 keep having soo many kids!! Your believes are insane!! Love the ones you have, spend alot of time with them, & give them lots of attention, dont need to keep having so many kids!! thats so wrong!!!
