Did they know ahead of time? They must have. They didn't seem surprised at all.
ReplyDeleteDear, Josh& Anna
ReplyDeleteCongrats On Your Fourth Child
Blessings From The Parker Family
I just rewatched the video. No wonder they didn't seem surprised. Josh said they recently found out. It would have been fun to see their initial reaction.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful news. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you post a video it is not there and I can't watch them. .
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm so happy for you guys! You guys are great parents!
ReplyDeletei read that this morning and posted it on the big question post wonderful isnt it
ReplyDeleteYAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!! ITS A GIRL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the baby's gender. The family is officially even.
ReplyDeleteOH Im so happy.
ReplyDeletewill Josiah come home this season after collage?I hope so.
ReplyDeleteI think you mean Joseph.
DeleteYes!!! I knew it would be a girl!!! It just HAD to be! LOL Woo Hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteI watch it earlier this morning around 9:00 am.I knew it was going to be a girl because the already have two boys and it would be fair for Mackynzie to have a little sister to play with. Congraulations Josh and Anna. I am so happy for you guys!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for Anna that she is getting her baby princess! Yay! The cupcakes were such a cute way to announce it, something that everyone could participate in. The pink box kind of gave it away,it should have been packed in neutral color.
ReplyDeleteI love the show, but I am sorry, a Gender Reveal,is NOT a "Big Announcement" that should be riling up fans of the show. If they were doing a Gender Reveal, they can just announce that they will be revealing the Gender, not say that they are "making a big announcement!" Is this a way of trying to get attention for Annas pregnancy since attention is on Jill's? In my opinion Anna should start considering an Epidural painkiller during Labor, to avoid those agonizing hours of pain we have seen 3 times. The Duggars should not declare a "Big Announcement" for a simple gender reveal ever again. That is reserved for Engagements, Courtships and Pregnancy Announcements!!
ReplyDelete@Marlene Young,
DeleteI am about to give birth for the 9th time. I have NEVER had a pain killer at all during my labours. And i have never had a c section and i have never had a dr deliver any of my babies. Now i realise not all women are that fortunate and everyone has a different level of tolerance for pain.
That being said,an epidural for a healthy woman in normal labor is not needed. An epidural while numbing the pain not only puts the baby at risk, but draws out the labor,making it longer. And causes problems at pushing stage as the mother has a hard time feeling the contractions. It also puts her at higher risk of a c section and makes for a longer recovery time for her and baby. She has proven she is capable of natural birth. So just leave her be. But i agree, that was hardly a 'big announcement'. Phooey!
Re: epidurals. They can be very good things and I am glad there is option to have them but unfortunately when you opt to have one you have to give things up like the ability to move freely, you need a catheter instead of going to the bathroom on your own and you can't feel when you are pushing and can sometimes cause unnecessary tearing. It can slow things down causing the need for pitocin. These things can make recovery much more difficult. Sometimes it can also make the baby sleepy and there can be nursing problems. Its a trade off. Birth is a difficult but Anna is not traumatized by them. I don't at all judge moms who choose pain killers during birth but I hope there can be more understanding for why many women (including me) have also chosen to go natural when possible. Showing births on TV can be more traumatizing to the audience than the mom. She after all gets the baby and all those great hormones that come after. What's most important is that a woman gets the birth she wants and needs for her and baby to be healthy. Anna has chosen what she prefers. She's not forced.
DeleteJust because you do not consider the gender of a baby does not mean that the Duggars shouldn't. Each woman should be able to give birth exactly how they want without judgement.
DeleteHow wonderful a little girl, i bet mom and Mackynzie are really happy to not be out numbered( at least for now) lol.God Bless hope all is going well.
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!!!!!!!! So glad its girl!!! Is that he announcement they were going to announce on Tuesday???
ReplyDeleteyayyy!!! I think they'll name her "Michelle Suzette"
ReplyDeleteJust what I thought..a girl. congrats to Josh and Anna and the whole family!!
ReplyDeleteI only see a white blank. Is there any other way to see this video?
ReplyDeleteIt's also on the People website :)
DeleteYeah!
ReplyDeleteHow come I can never view the videos...?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a blessing to you all!
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean no big announcement on Tuesday? So excited for Josh and Anna!!
ReplyDeleteLily and Ellie do you know for sure that this is the big announcement?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Lily and Ellie,
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity, why do you always say Anna is due "around" July 10? Is that not her actual due date? Thank you!
I had had a feeling since they announced Anna's pregnancy that it would be a girl, so I'm just tickled pink right now!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for names along the M theme... Mary, Melissa, Melanie, McKenna, Michaela.
No video unfortunately. But from the other comments I gather it's a girl. If the stick with the "m" theme.. I suggest the name Morgan.
ReplyDeleteBlank where video should be. This has been the case several times. Is it my phone, maybe? Disappointing.

Congratulations Josh and Anna on your baby girl!!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Another girl! :)
ReplyDeleteJosh and Anna's baby name vote: I think Melissa MaryAnne Duggar. that covers a new name for the individual; honors Grandma Duggar, (who has been sadly ignored) and Anna herself...anyoe agree:
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Josh, Anna, Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, and the rest of the Duggar clan as well!!!! Children truly are a blessing from the Lord and are something to be cherished!! I So excited for you!! I feel like I know your entire family personally, as I have watched and followed you for years!! So happy for you!! I will be praying for you as you prepare for birth!!

Name her either Melody Pearl or Makenna Layne. So happy for them!
ReplyDeleteEvery blessing to you all on your wonderful news. Take care of yourself Anna and try and rest as much as possible!
ReplyDeleteYay, I had a feeling that it was a girl. Her name will probably be Meredith, Michelle, Mary Anne (would be after her great grandma and her mom Anna), Melissa, or Madison. But how unexcited can they seem over it? I mean, I realize that this has to be scripted since Josh basically comes out and says that they've already found out what it is and are using the cupcakes to tell the viewers, but you think Anna and Mackynzie would at least show a little more excitement over another girl. Maybe there was something more to the actual reveal to Josh and Anna filmed for the show that they're not letting onto yet. There has to be--they had a cake from Buddy Valastro presented to them on the Today Show for Mackynzie, a skywriter for Michael, and even their pastor announcing Marcus's gender is pretty cool even though it's kind of low key compared to the others. It'd be a little sad if this is all #4 gets.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I tend to agree that they should've just come right out and said they'd be announcing the baby's gender. The way they made the big news sound, it made it seem like Jessa was pregnant, someone else had started a courtship, or even that Michelle was pregnant again...
So excited that it's a girl, it's about time, yea!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMeredith, she did ask..?
ReplyDeleteMiriam?
Mae?
Or another letter name.
AWE...Congratulations...Love it. Can't wait to hear her name! After so many years always looking forward to new seasons and have Duggar withdrawal in between seasons. Praying for you all and your baby girl.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! I think that McKenna would be a beautiful name for their beautiful girl!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Congrats to Josh and Anna on another baby girl!! I'm so happy for them, but especially for Kenzie!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that it's a girl. How fun for them to have two of each!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having another girl, please i have a idea for a name Makayla Rose Duggar
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a girl! Yay! Congrats to Josh and Anna. And to the whole duggar family. Everyone should be so happy because children are a blessing. Josh and Anna already have "four". So excited!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteMakenna Layne or Melody Pearl
ReplyDeleteI knew the baby was a girl! I would like to suggest Michelle Suzette or Mary Elizabeth as possible names.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous 83,
Last time we spoke with Anna, she wasn't sure exactly what day her due date was, but she knew it was around July 10th. :)
Blessings,
Lily and Ellie
@Melanie E. The pink box is standard from that bakery... had nothing to do with the gender, was just a coincidence.
ReplyDeletea really cute name for a girl that starts with a 'M' would be Marie or Mandy!! So cute!! Can't wait for the baby!! I'm loving all these baby duggars!
ReplyDeletesome good names are Madeline Melody Melissa or Mia.
ReplyDeleteMary, Maggie, Melissa, May. May could be a middle name. Anyway, congratulations!!!!!. God bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteAnna, you should totally name your kid Marrissa, Marie, Mackalya, or Michelle (After your Mother In-Law)
ReplyDeleteSo Happy for you all hope everything goes ok. I love your show!
ReplyDeleteMarianna is a nice name. Or Magdalena. Other names:
