There will be a new addition to the Duggar family this summer. Read on for details!
It's not mom-of-19 Michelle Duggar who's expecting this time - it's her daughter-in-law Anna Duggar! People magazine reports that Anna and hubby Josh are expecting their second child this summer. (Anna and Michelle were both pregnant at the same time last year, as pictured above.)
The couple has a one-year-old daughter, Mackynzie, who celebrated her first birthday on October 8, and Anna tells People that she showed Josh her pregnancy test on that day. "It was fun to announce it to everyone on that already happy day," Anna says.
Grandparents Jim Bob and Michelle couldn't be happier. "We are so excited about the new expansion to our family," Jim Bob tells People.
Josh and Anna also share some not-so-happy news with People: before this pregnancy, Anna had a miscarriage last summer. "I was very sad," Anna tells the publication. "Josh was a big encouragement to me. It helped us go through the heartbreak to learn that 30 or 40 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. That was comforting in some ways."
Anna's pregnancy announcement will be featured on a special episode of "19 Kids and Counting: GrandDuggar First Birthday" that will air this Sunday, November 14, on TLC.
