Hopes for the Future

Joseph Duggar and Kendra (Caldwell) Duggar

At the end of last night's episode, the producer asked the married Duggar couples what their hopes are for this year.

Jessa and Ben Seewald
Due with Baby #3 on June 3rd
Ben: "It will be fun to see these little ones interacting with a new brother or sister."

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo
Jinger: "Watching Felicity grow this year...and seeing her little personality come out."
The Vuolos also announced yesterday that they are moving to Los Angeles. More info can be found in our March 25th blog post.

Joseph and Kendra Duggar
Kendra: "I think we would be thrilled to have baby number two. Since my mom just had a baby, I think for me it's just kind of given me a baby itch recently."
Joe: "We are planning on building a house, as well as still doing the car stuff. We'd be happy to have more kids, but all in God's timing."
Kendra: "We'll let Garrett grow up a little bit."

Josiah and Lauren Duggar
Josiah: "The first little one is with the Lord right now after a miscarriage, but looking forward to maybe expanding our family."

Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth
Joy: "Gideon is started to walk kind of, not really by himself, but I think he'll be walking within the next month. Hopefully I'll either be pregnant or having a baby within the next year, so that will be exciting, going from one to two."

Last night's Counting On season finale episode is available on the TLC website (link below).

-Kendra Caldwell Duggar

Baby Duggar Coming Soon!

With less than three weeks to go until her June 17th due date, Kendra Duggar is now 37 weeks pregnant with her son. That sure went by quickly, didn't it?

At this point, many moms-to-be find themselves in full-on nesting mode, as they anxiously prepare their home for their new addition. Baby is approximately 19 inches long and six pounds in weight but is growing rapidly.

We know you have been eager to see photos of Kendra's pregnancy progress. While the Duggar daughters have been more open about sharing their baby bump photos with the world, Kendra has chosen to keep hers private for the time being. You can be sure that we will let you know as soon as Baby Duggar's arrival is announced to the public.

Meanwhile, Jinger Vuolo is approaching her 33-week mark.
