New Duggar baby is on the way

The Duggar family has a new baby on the way. The oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 19 children, Josh, confirmed today (Monday) to People he and his wife, Anna, are expecting their third child.

Josh and Anna Duggar star on "19 Kids and Counting" with the biggest family on reality television. The couple's hopes for another child will take center stage when "19 Kids and Counting: The Duggars Do Asia" premieres on Tuesday, March 12 on TLC. "I thought for sure I was pregnant and so I was a little disappointed," Anna, 24 is quoted as saying about having a negative pregnancy test while on the trip. "But two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant."

Anna and Josh Duggar are already parents to 3 year old Mackynzie and Michael who will be 2 in June -- right around the time their third baby is due. "It is very exciting. It's fun for Michael and Mackynzie being so close in age and this baby will be, too," Josh says. "We feel very blessed and happy."

All of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's children have names beginning with the letter J. So far it seems that Josh and Anna may be following suit -- which means it's likely there will be another M. Duggar in about three months.
