Josh and Anna Duggar just released a statement via Jim Bob and Michelle's Duggar website:
"For nearly the last two years, we have quietly worked to save our marriage, focus on our children, and rebuild our lives together as a family. Doing so is never easy after a breach of trust. We’ve learned that a life of faith and rebuilding a life together is simply done one day at a time. As we continue our journey as a family and rebuild our lives, we are delighted to share with you that we are expecting a new baby boy later this year. Beauty comes from ashes and we cannot wait to see and kiss the face of this sweet new boy!"

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, yall are great parents and a lovely family
ReplyDeleteMany of us have been in your shoes, Josh, many of us have been in your shoes, Anna. God is leading you both where He wants you. Congratulations on your renewed relationship and on your pregnancy! <3
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. God's blessings to you all. ❤️
ReplyDeleteCongratulations god bless you all
ReplyDeleteWow. I love Anna and even though it's not my place to do so I'm trying to forgive Josh but I honestly am shocked that their having anther baby. I'm shocked....
ReplyDeleteI think Anna is a wonderful mom. I hope she has a healthy, safe pregnancy with a smooth delivery.
ReplyDeleteSad. I was hoping they would take more time to rebuild this relationship instead of thinking another baby could solve everything. Babies are a blessing from God, but there should be some thought about it. What if Josh would stay again? This time worse? Then Anna would have more children to raise and care for. But hopefully God will bless them abundantly.
ReplyDeleteFor the past couple years I have been praying for your family. I'm so excited to hear this amazing news. I'm praying for your family every day and can't wait to see what God has in store for you guys. Anna and Josh Im so excited that your love for each other is growing stronger and stronger every day. 1 Peter 4:8 and Colossians 3:14
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you both for not giving despite the hurdles you had to jump over. Keep up the faith,hope,and love. Congratulations new baby.
ReplyDeleteGod bless your family. Your strength and courage are admirable.

ReplyDeleteOh my. The press is going to attempt to tear this poor family to pieces once they get their claws on this story. They are so young and sweet and don't deserve to endure the firestorm that is about to ensue. I pray that they are Blessed with a happy and healthy little boy. I absolutely adore the Duggar family and look forward to the next season.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anna and Josh. May God bless you and your family.
ReplyDeleteawesome , u guys will make it . God is on ur side
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new baby boy and also for no giving up on your marriage. Anna, your words on Counting On when you described how you felt were so moving and inspirational. You are strong and beautiful. Don't let the unkind people get to you. Josh, I hope you know what a gift from God Anna is and that you never hurt her again. God Bless your beautiful family
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new lil angel. And it's no one's business what ya'll decide to do. Luv is,a powerful thing and if you wish to work at rebuilding your family may God bless you all. You have my vote and approval. Luv u both and your family.

ReplyDeleteCongrats so happy for you both!!!
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS AWESOME! I am so excited for Josh and Anna and I continue to pray for there family as God grows them!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful family!
Oh Anna I am so excited for you and Josh!! You have inspired and my husband and I that a marriage takes work and time to heal and deal with the problems instead of walking away!! Thank you! I can't wait to see you're new bundle of joy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to hear this.
ReplyDeleteHappy for Anna but not sure how I feel about this. Josh was not honest with Anna and came forward only after others found out about his indiscretions. It makes me feel that he will cheat on her again because I am pretty sure he would have continued seeking an affair if he hadn't been caught. Just hope Anna doesn't have to deal with it again. She's a better women than me because I don't think I could ever trust a man again if he did that to me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you and your family!
ReplyDeleteNo matter the challenge have faith.
I wish their family all the best!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! Life comes from God and He gives liberally especially when we are in the healing process. So happy for you all💖
ReplyDeleteMuch love and prayers to your beautiful family. It would be easy to separate and not stay together. But I know from personal experience that when a couple loves each other and has the same basic values, it is worth the difficult, hard work to rebuild one's family. It isn't the easy path that brings us joy. It is the road not often taken that leads us to greater happiness and joy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Josh and Anna. You are fabulous parents and deserve a life time of happiness.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the wonderful news, not only of the new little guy, but that you are doing as the Bible teaches. Thanks for showing the world what sifting thru the ashes means. Blessings and prayers.
ReplyDeleteYay! God is a God of redemption! Congratulations to your whole family. What a blessing! -Kristin
ReplyDeleteI miss seeing Anna and her tips on homemaking. I think she should write a book. God bless her and Josh&kids
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anna and Josh on the exciting news of having a new baby boy in later this year. May God Bless your Family as your Marriage is restored and you go forward in new life in Christ Jesus.
ReplyDeleteGod is a God of forgiveness and restoration. Anna, I am so glad that you were able to forgive your husband and move past all the disappointment and hurt. Congratulations on the new baby and I pray that God continue to bless you both and your household.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! Babies are a blessing and are the most precious gift. Blessing to you both ♡
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best and congratulations
ReplyDeleteGod bless
Congratulations Anna I hope you are sure about this - God is giving you this precious child to love and protect. I hope you stay off TV and off media have this baby in quiet. No posting anything. There will be so many negative responses to this baby. I feel you should have thought it through and I only hope you both do not become baby makers. Let this be your last one you still have a long road ahead in healing. Good luck may the Lord watch over you and keep you all safe and have a beautiful baby.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! I have prayed for your family. Blessings to you all!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news! I know you two and your sweet family can have a life after this all. Keep the faith! The power of the atonement is between our Savior and each of us. It is simply wrong for anyone else to judge us. I pray for the public to soften their unrighteous judgement against you all. We never know until we face adversity how we will each handle it. We never know the depths of what our love can be until we are faced with the deepest of trials. I am a Mormon and have felt and fallen short many times of what I know God knows I can be. I pray that you will feel cheer and as your family continues to grow be strengthened each and every day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Hope you are all doing good.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe have one natural born daughter and two born out of our hearts (adopted). We had tried and tried to adopt but being AIr Force they felt we were not stable enough. Our marriage for many readons was challenged. I was living in a different state than my husband. I decided what God had joined together... When I obeyed God and my daughter and moved to be with my husband within a few months our pastor came up and said he knew of a young woman who was unable to keep her baby was we interested. That was almost 33 years ago and our son Michael has filled our life with love along with Stefanie our youngest. This year my husband and I celebrate 50 years of marriage. Gid will use what satan meant for destruction to bless your socks off. Again congratulations!!
Oh Josh n Anna, I am so excited and happy for you! I am so glad that u have continued to b faithful to God and follow His teachings as you have worked thru this difficult time. I know others who have gone thru similar situations and God has redeemed them and they r living and serving God faithfully years later. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteSo very happy for you ,May God bless

ReplyDelete"Later this year" - why no month given, as most Duggar baby announcements? She must be pretty far along if she knows it's a boy already. Three or four months.
ReplyDeletePraise be to God the Redeemer! I am excited and praying for you!
ReplyDeleteAshley
If a marriage has been in "ashes," why do you bring another child into it?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the news of a new baby. We ask God to bless him and the family.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people given your family a lot of judgement on what happened. But, Anna, you have taken your marriage vows like a woman should. An i hope an pray for your family for God to be with you an your kids josh. Josh it a lot of work to be a better person,husband, father,friend,brother an son.

I pray that God be with you on your journey of life. REMEMBER, you only got one life to live.

ReplyDeleteSo excited for you all!! Thank goodness we can never be so bad that God's goodness isnt always enough!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteRestoration is always best if the offending person is truly repentant. Babies are not marriage fixers or a sign of a restored marriage. It is a biological process. Having said that I wish the best for this family. I hope they choose to live quiet lives out of the spot light. No quippy Christian lingo or platitudes about turning a " mess into a message" or " test into a testimony". Josh made choices. Anna made the choice to stay though Biblically she had as much freedom to leave. Children are always innocent. Blessings to all of them. May this truly be a new beginning.
ReplyDeleteWell there goes the new header.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago my husband was unfaithful and had several affairs. After much prayer I chose to stay as did he. We had a beautiful baby girl about 2 years later. We are still together 27 years later. It will never go away but you can do anything with gods help
ReplyDeletecongrats Josh and anna
ReplyDeleteWonderful news as you continue, pray, walk in love and obedience...doing the next right thing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the family.
ReplyDeleteTh I snews, of God's great love and forgiving mercy brought tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat God has joined together, let no man pull asunder
This news, of God's great love and forgiving mercy brought tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat God has joined together, let no man pull asunder
Only God knows that your a good Mom Anna.
ReplyDeleteYay!Congratulations to a sweet couple. I'm so very excited to hear this. I love how the Lord has the Lord has turned mourning in to joy! It takes a lot of work to heal I will pray for a safe pregnancy. I don't know if Josh and Anna read this but if you do read this, please, please don't let evil comments steal your joy. Oh wait! They can't steal your joy! You have the joy of the Lord and that is something, no one can ever take from you. Looking forward to birth of your son.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Family! I see beauty of Jesus in Josh. His heart has seen that Life on the earth is SinFul but when surrender to that SinFul life GOD His Gory Shows in and out. Prasing GOD we you and your beautiful Family 👪
ReplyDeleteYou both have worked hard to rebuild your marriage. This sweet baby boy is a true blessing. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteGod is Good. Congrats to you both!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww congrats y'all I'm glad y'all were able to work things out 😃 I hope we see more of Anna and the kiddos on counting on and again congratulations on the new blessing
ReplyDeleteYayy that is exciting news..congrats anna
ReplyDeleteCongrats and somebody called it another baby M was coming soon.
ReplyDeleteSo birth control is ok if your husband cheats and your rebuilding a marriage? Nearly 2 years without a pregnancy means birth control for these two.
ReplyDeleteUnless they chose to abstain for a season as they sought the Lord in prayer. 1 Corinthians 7:9.
DeleteAre you kidding Anna what makes you think another child is going to fix the Large problems your hauband has. I wouldn't trust him with a Gold Fish and would never forgive him for what he did especially with a daughter in the house. I know you are a good person but I think you made a mistake getting
ReplyDeletepregnant again.
I totally agree with you. Josh does not deserve children.
DeleteThis is so rude. Please keep your comments to yourself if you aren't uplifting the duggars.
DeleteCongratulations Josh and Anna!!!!
ReplyDeleteIm glad they finally made this public instead of not acknowledging this at all. The duggars posted this despite the backlash the KNOW they will get from this. my guess is a June/July baby but due before Jill. 3 grandsons within 4 months!!! Praise the lord I hope the dugger children have all BOYS!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And I'm glad to see a picture of your family.
ReplyDeletePraise God! Congratulations 🎈
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you guys. May God continue to bless you. Congratulations love from Indy!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats three new boys in the family this year what a blessing to the duggar family ,glad for this blessing and time to move forward and have forgiveness for this family
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this?!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! God Bless
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, may God be with you forever.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteSo many praying for your family, for total healing. What an example to the "worldly" and to us Christians that struggle with the same issues. God is so good! May you two along with your children be blessed by your faithfulness to HIM.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both May God bless you both. Tammy
ReplyDeleteApparently you have never experienced the true forgiving grace of Jesus. Anna is an amazingly strong woman to offer that kind of grace and it is quite possible that Josh has turned from his wicked ways. I have witnessed people with much darker suns than his be completely transformed by the grace of God. I would say instead of spewing negativity you pray for this family that they can have a full and healthy life.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteMany have been praying and thanking God for how HE has worked in your lives. You two are a light to the "world" and to us Christians. May your family be richly blessed for your faithfulness to our mighty God. HE is always faithful. !!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Anna you're a very special woman to of been able to forgive him. But understanding love, we love unconditionally. I know those last two years you both had to work hard to rebuild the love you have for each other including trust. Josh, I know you know you've done wrong and glad you were able to confess and ask for help. I'm sure the love you have for one another will help you both grow stronger for it. Even our own children do wrong at times, we love them and forgive them. Life has many tests, and many lessons. I feel josh had several lessons well learned. And will carry them around forever feeling the pain and sorrow for what he has done. But it must be even harder for him to forgive himself. But with the grace of God and the love of his wife and family I believe he will. People do change if they really want to. And I believe he did for the love of Anna and kids and the faith of God anything is possible. God bless your family.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on the new boy coming soon.
Congratulations I would love to see 19 kids and counting come back when the whole family
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Not sure having another baby is a good thing right now after all you went through but who are we to judge. I am sure this little boy will get very little TV time now that Josh is in the picture again. Anna has been absent from the counting on and I am guessing this is why.
ReplyDelete
