The apple doesn’t fall too far from the Duggar family tree.
Joshua Duggar, the oldest child in a family of 18, announced that his wife Anna is expecting their first child in October, according to People.com.
Joshua’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, made a name for their ever-growing family on the TLC show “18 Kids & Counting.” The soon-to-be grandparents with infants of their own couldn’t be happier about their son’s new addition.
"We are really excited about being grandparents,” Jim Bob said. “We think it is really going to be easier than being parents."
And Michelle has gladly offered her daughter-in-law some vital pregnancy tips along the way. "She told me to eat small meals frequently during the day to get through the morning sickness," Anna said. "And she gave me apricot juice that I've been sipping. It really helps a lot."
After Anna took the pregnancy test, she said she “couldn't bear to look at it” for fear of being disappointed in the results. So, it was Joshua who broke the happy news to his wife and the rest of the Duggar crew.
"I am very excited and am learning new ways every day that I can be there for my wife," Joshua said. "I thought that she would be the only one going through the emotions of pregnancy, but I'm right there with her."
The young couple, who got married last September, owns a car dealership in Springdale, Ark., near the family home in Tontitown. Anna is even being treated by Dr. Amy Sarver, who delivered Joshua’s three youngest siblings, Johannah, Jennifer and Jordyn-Grace.
But will Joshua and Anna stick to the J-name theme?
"Discussions are underway," Joshua said. "We are planning on a name theme, but we are not sure what it will be."
The couple plans to feature the pregnancy on “18 Kids and Counting.”
