The Adorable Marcus Duggar

Marcus Duggar, the youngest child of Josh and Anna Duggar and the youngest grandchild of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, is nearly 14 months old. He was born in the Duggars' home state of Arkansas just weeks before Josh and Anna packed up and moved their family to Washington D.C.

How many more children do you think Josh and Anna will have?

  4. He's adorable! I think Anna may have a few more but she and josh will leave it in God's hands and they will be happy with whatever he decides. :)

  5. It's hard to say but I guess around four maybe not as close in age as Josh and his siblings but four or five

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm gonna guess 8 total

  10. Wow I can't believe Marcus is 14 months. I bet there will be another baby on the way soon.

  12. Growing fast. Maybe this season will reveal a 4th grand duggar.

  13. Marcus takes such cute pictures! I say Josh & Anna will at least 6 kids. As long as Anna is healthy I say they will have closer to 10 kids.

  19. I think they will have four more.

    ReplyDelete
  20. That's hard to say I'm going to guess 22 I think she'll have more then Michelle because her and Josh started right away and she is only 26 right now.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think Josh and Anna will have about 6 or 7.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 0 to 2. Chris W.

  24. I think they'll have a few more, but I'm not sure if they'll have 19! =) Maybe 10.. idk who am I to guess!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Marcus is really cute. Love those chubby cheeks!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think Josh and Anna will have 12 more children for a total of 15.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i think josh and anna will have 10 kids

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't know how those Duggars do it, but ALL their children get cuter and cuter with every passing year! My guess is that Anna will have 11 more children. :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I hope Marcus is the last, not b/c I wish them ill, I just feel sorry for Anna.

    ReplyDelete
  30. They will have as many children as God will bless them with!!!! I hope that they have many more!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Off topic but since this post is about Babies I thought I'd just say I just saw on Zach and Whitney bates instagram that they are naming their son Bradley Bates.

    ReplyDelete
  32. They are having children every two years so far. My guess is that as Anna gets older, she'll have longer spacing. So, my guess is 8 more. However, God blesses as he sees fit. . .

    ReplyDelete
  33. Awwww... he's so cute!!!! I think they will have as many as God will give them. :) God Bless y'all!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Marcus looks like his grandpa (Anna's dad). Such a cute baby

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not to nit pick, but he wasn't born at home. They traveled to their midwife's home (or birthing centre) to have Marcus...

    1. It doesn't say he wad born at home, just in their home state

      Delete
    2. It didn't say that when I first commented. The post was edited to say he was born in their home state after.

      Delete
  36. @anonymous...Anna loves her children and I can guarantee you she desires more! :)

    I hope they have as many as God blesses them with as well. My guess is around 8-10.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think she will have 4 or 5 more but I don't think she will as many as Michelle had. In fact I don't think any of her kids will have as many as she had unless they start at 20 yes old. Marcus is very cute!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Maybe 5 or 6 more. Hey maybe Jill and Anna will be pregnant together and end up both having girls ( the Duggar need more granddaughters).

    ReplyDelete
  39. I do not think they will have as many as Josh's parents. I think Josh and Anna will discuss childbearing and end up with maybe 7.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I don't think they'll have as many as Jim Bob and Michelle either. I think maybe 2 or 3 more. Their lives are different in the "big city".

    ReplyDelete
  41. it is up to the GOOD LORD to decide how many they will be blessed with. we should NOT be guessing its like playing the game of life with someones elseslife.far more better topics to discuss i feel. like is jill/derick working furthering education, thinking of joining the military to serve our country just my opinion thats all anna s. bird in hand pa (yes its real town)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think they will have a total of 8 to 10 kids.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think they will have as many as The Lord sees fit to give them. Children are such a blessing.
    I heard a saying that said "children are an expression of life's longing for itself". I thought that was a beautiful saying but I know that God gives us children as gifts.

  44. @Crawfords of WA

    Hi Crawfords of WA and Anonymous 3 & 42,

    Marcus was born at a birthing center. When we said "He was born at home in Arkansas..." we were referring to the fact that he was born in the Duggars' home state of Arkansas just before Josh and Anna relocated to D.C. But we see how that could be misleading, so we reworded it. :)

    Thanks for being vigilant. We are blessed to have you all as readers.

  45. Really? I don't think it could have been more clear. You said he was born in the Duggars home "state" of Arkansas. Anyway, he's adorable nonetheless.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't think any of the Duggars, or the Bates, children for that matter, will have 19. They have given hints about that, such as enjoying quiet time, pink bedrooms they longed for, and admitting they couldn't handle that many. I don't look for Josh and Anna to have but a few more. Anna is already having a very, very hard time navigating Washington with three. I think she realizes that until her little girl gets about 12 or so and can become a "Sister Mom" to help with the "little ones" in such a busy as a town as Washington, she is pretty much homebound without any help if she any more right now. Maybe that is why there is always an original Duggar girl at Anna's house. To help out already.

  47. Marcus is so cute!!! And I think that Anna will have maybe 3 or 4 more children

  48. Given Anna's age of 26yrs and that She and Josh have already 3 children and Anna being the one who is quoted as being the one who does want a large family. I would say some where between 12 and 14 children on total , given the spacing between them now and her age. However there may come a point when they do decide to stop as I recall when Josie was born early that they said to each other " she too young / small" probably thinking that she had hardly a chance to survive - though we all know she did - a miracle ! - and what are the odds of that ?? But if that shocked them then they may take a step back when they are getting older, and revaluate where they are at and choose more wisely, depending on their circumstances at the time. So maybe they might have only 8 to 10 children in total. Really only God knows - as he holds the future.

  49. I think they'll have many more including a set of multiples since it does run in the family! I think at least 12 total. As far as anonymous saying she feels sorry for Anna...why??? She's living a life she dreamed of and loves. She has stated on the previous show that other girls her age want careers but that she loves to be a homemaker. She has 3 beautiful healthy children who God has gifted her with and a husband who loves her and is wonderful. I personally admire her:-)

  50. I reckon 10-11 more kids (:

    ReplyDelete
  51. He looks adorable indeed. & I am honnestly happy for Josh & Anna. Therefore I am not sure I understand fully their views about abortion, pills etc. Just hope Anna will always stay healthy if they need need to have +10kis or more.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Marcus was born at a birthing center? It looked more like the midwife's house rather than a real "birthing center". I think that's a stretch of terms. Anna seems to have long, hard labors, and it would behoove Josh to spring a little $ for his wife and to be born child and take her to a real hospital. What is they run into an unexpected complication? There would be everything she would need to deliver safely. They are a real group of tightwads, IMO.

  53. Marcus looks just like Anna’s dad

    ReplyDelete
  54. Marcus looks just like Anna's father, Mr. Kellar. There's no denying it's his grandson.

    ReplyDelete
  55. He looks so much like Josh in the top picture! Thanks so much for your wonderful updates!

    ReplyDelete
  56. He's too cute! I'm guessing they won't try for more than 6, but if another baby came I know they'd be happy!

  57. I think that they might have about 4 more. Not as many as Jim Bob and Michelle but still a lot. What do y'all think their names will be (sticking with their M tradition)? I think some might be Madison, Mabery, and McKenna! But I don't know! I know that however many more they have they will all be adorable!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. My guess is 8-11 total. I don't think Anna gets pregnant while nursing, like Michelle did.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I am probably the only one who saw the resemblance between Marcus and his Grandpa Mike, Anna's dad (see photo of Marcus and Makynzie). I can't believe he's already 14 months old.

    As for the number of children Josh and Anna will have... as many as they would like and as many as the good Lord above will give them.

    ReplyDelete
  60. HE'S SO CUTE! I don't know how many they'll have, but they'll probably have more!

  61. @anonymous why do you feel sorry for Anna?? She's said that she knows they don't have to feel pressured to have 19 children.....
    Looks a lot like Josh and so ADORABLE!!:) Her Babies have been spaced out every 2 years so if your saying by the time she's Michelle's age I'd say about 10 or so but Anna might slow down as she grows older......But they need more Grandbabies to keep the family tree long!! Than you Lily and Ellie for this beautiful and blessed blog:))) God bless you and thank you again for this awesome blog:) ~Alina

  63. @Anonymous

    Most midwifery centers are in a home like setting, but not the actual midwifes house. A hospital is not often the safest choice for a healthy birth. I am paying thousands of dollars extra for a midwife birth to avoid a hospital, as I have had terrible wrong done to me in the hospital setting. Anna was healthy, her baby was, a natural birth thus would be the safest healthiest birth. A midwife birth costs about $3500, a natural hospital birth without insurance $3500-$4000...not much of a difference.

  65. I think they will have 10 children total

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think Josh and Anna will probably have 7-8 because they're living on a smaller income than Jim-Bob and Michelle and they live in a big city soo.. But I could be wrong they will have as many as the lord sees fit.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Simply Adorable!
    I hope they are able to continue to space them out within a couple years of each other. So much healthier for the mom and development of baby.
    I would not be surprised if they gifted with many more over the years since Anna seems to do so well with her pregnancies.
    Either way I wish them both the best and appreciate them sharing their lives with us.

  68. So many comment that that they will have as many as the Lord wills. Do all of you believe the same in your own life? If women should have as many as the Lord wills, a whole lot more women would be having children like the Duggars vs. them being this rare family of so many children. You would all be practicing it too.

  69. he looks exactly like Anna's Dad. Cute baby though, and I don't usually comment on babies.

  70. @Anonymous

    I thought the same thing! Cute little baby though.

    ReplyDelete
  71. @AnonymousAs part of their wedding vows, Josh and Anna pledged to have as many children as God gives them, so that's why so many commenters are making that statement. It's part of their religious belief system.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I don't think that EVERY Duggar child should have so many kids. It's up to them and their spouse. They shouldn't push to have more just to carry on a family "trait" or what have you. I think maybe 5 (so 2 more) at the most. But it's weird saying that they would have 12 more! As Parent's I am sure it's hard for them to look THAT far into the future. The whole "Leave it in GOD'S hands" thing is wonderful, but that doesn't mean that you have to just keep having children until you have menopause or your just tired. If 3 is enough, 3 is enough. There is no pressure to set a family "record". It's really up to YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE to decide because it takes TWO to make ONE {baby}!

    ReplyDelete
  73. They believe the good Lord will bless them with as many as he thinks they can handle. I just hope the he doesn't want them to have as many as his mother had. I believe an even dozen would be okay. That's what I wanted but was not able to have.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hopefully none. Three is more than enough, especially for people in their 20s.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Anna seems stressed in Wash. Maybe she's figuring out that being by yourself all day with no help is not so grand. Josh is gone all day, not like Jim Bob who is home constantly. I think they will "plan" future pregnancies and only have 5 at the most.

    ReplyDelete
  76. @Anonymous It does not state "born at home". It said "born in Duggar's home state of Arkansas". I hope they have as many as they want and are granted. It NO BODY elses business how many they have. Good luck and Many Blessings to them.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I think 9 more 12 in total more if twins come along.

    ReplyDelete
  78. There is more to life then having a boat load of children . They are so young and for the new sister who got married I hope they enjoy a couple of years together before having children...
