Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell Duggar are expecting their first child, a son, in just a few months. Us Weekly reports that Baby Boy Duggar, the 11th Duggar grandchild, is due on Father's Day, June 17th. Kendra is almost 28 weeks pregnant.
Joe and Kendra have said that they want as many kids as God will give them. Kendra turns 20 in August, while Joe just celebrated his 23rd birthday.
Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo are due with their first, whose gender they do not yet know, in mid July.

I hope God also gives them good jobs and enough money to take care of all these children they're going to have. There are only so many TV shows to go around. Have they planned for that part of parenthood?
ReplyDeleteThe have jobs outside of the show.If you watched the show you'd see this.
DeleteHater stop it this family takes care of itself. No assistance necessary.
DeleteThat's really a subject for discussion, 12:44, what they do, where they do it, and how it might sustain all these large Duggar families to come.
DeleteThank you. I wish people would stop acting like they are the ones who have to support the Duggars financially. Not one of them is on public assistance.
DeleteThank you yes they all work
Deletewhy does it bother you if they have jobs or not? You are not supporting their families! Such a shame!
DeleteI watch, and no they don't, but I'm sure they will find ways to care for all the children.
Delete12:44 -- I don't watch the show much. What jobs do Joe and Kendra have outside of the show?
DeleteDoing what? Working for Jim Bob?
DeleteIf you don’t like them why do you follow the blog?
DeleteHow is Jim Bob going to be able to pay the salaries those boys will need to raise their own 19KAC? Jim Bob's father had a business (or businesses) and he couldn't do it, with only 1 son. Look how Jim Bob's family lived before they got the show. Donated house, "buy used," and all that. The current Duggar boys are going to have to work harder than just mowing lawns or fixing properties for their father in order to support their families and save for retirement, especially if they're planning to have lots and lots of kids.
DeleteWhat’s what’s wrong with working for Jim Bob? It’s called a family business. Plenty of people work at family businesses.
DeleteHave they asked you for anything? It's none of your business!
Delete@ Anon 9:47. I know. Jim Bob and Michelle appeared to be struggling to support their huge family before they got the TLC gig. I'm not sure what's going to happen now that TLC is gearing down on their TV appearances. They live in a very small town so flipping cars and maintaining rental properties isn't going to support them in the style they're now accustomed to living.
Deleteanon@ 1:04- These large families benefit a great deal at tax time- all those deductions and tax credits. I wonder how they feel about the personal exemptions going bye-bye. Doubling the standard deductions won't come anywhere near making up for it.
DeleteI remember when Jeremy said he hopes the baby is like Jinger (because he was a little terror as a child). I have some concern because the baby is due mid July. I have two mid-July babies and they are very strong-willed and have been my most difficult to raise. My good friend has 11 kids and she only has one July child and he is extremely difficult. Is this a thing? Are you a July birthday—and are you understanding what I’m saying or does it not ring true to you?....curious to know! I do wish them the best. Obviously Jinger was probably the perfect child. But Jeremy could have a few things coming to Him and I think he realizes it too!!!
DeleteSome of the most successful businesses are family owned. At least they are providing for their families and are not on welfare like some of the usual suspects...
DeleteThe Masters Image: you say that not one of them is on public assistance, but Derick and Jill asked for money multiple times, especially now being unoccupied and Derick being in school.
DeleteI really don't understand why he quit his job at Walmart and how they intend on keeping having babies without a job.
Child tax credits are a form of public assistance; the Duggars take full advantage of these.
DeleteSome of the Duggars may very well be on public assistance. I don't believe those records are publicly available, so we wouldn't know either way. I find it very likely the household income of Jessa/Ben, Jill/Derick, Joy/Austin and maybe even Anna and her husband meet assistance requirements.
DeleteYou can't keep dividing and dividing a family business among sons. This was happening in the Amish community in the 1960's and 70's, forcing the sons to go elsewhere for work. Those family farms and businesses, divided through the generations, could not support the children any more.
DeleteI would love Jinger and Jeremy to keep the sex of their baby a secret, (even if they know), just to have that between themselves is so special. I also commend Kendra for not jumping on the self publicity bandwagon, I think she shows more maturity in doing this than many give her credit for.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that its their business not ours.
DeleteHow about the couples do whatever they feel comfortable with, without random strangers telling them how they should or shouldn’t do things.
DeleteAnon 12 46, what? Your response makes absolutely no sense lol.the original poster was saying he or she thinks Jinger should keep gender quiet just between her and jeremy, so was your response agreeing with the o p?
DeleteIt sure is!
DeleteThey are the ones who decided to publicly share their lives with us based on the premise of expanding their families.
DeleteWow, 12:46, that was not a very kind response.
DeleteAnon @12:46 I am not sure why you posted a snarky comment in response to mine? I did not say anything bad, in fact my post was positive.
DeleteYes - Anaon 1:10!!
DeleteHow about not wanting random strangers to watch you on your show? It goes both ways.
DeleteCongreation joseha & kendra look so happy & congreation on your baby what a great goift for josepha i think that's awedome
ReplyDeleteI will pray for a safe delivery for both ladies.
ReplyDeleteJune 17th is a very special day in my household. It’s my birthday and also mine and my husbands wedding anniversary. It also falls on Father’s Day this year so it’s going to be a very busy day for us. Xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a great father's day gift for Jim Bob and Joseph
ReplyDeleteIf the baby is born on its due date, which most babies aren’t, it’s just an estimate of when the baby should arrive.
DeleteFor Joseph then Jim Bob
Deleteperfect for Father's day !!
ReplyDeleteMy fourth child was born a couple of days from Father's Day. He was his daddy's gift.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Kendra’s age listed as going to be 20 in August? Why not just say she’s 19?
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion which we all have and are uniquely ours....just saying 19 sounds quiet young and teenage ( despite the fact that she is). This family has received quite a bit a flack for its young brides and moms-to-be. Intentionally done or not, it is a deflection of her age.
DeleteNot my life choice, but to each their own.
Agreed. I think it’s to present her as not being a teenager, but that is what she is. She still has almost half a year before she’s 20.
DeleteBecause otherwise people ask when she’s turning 20 instead of just going to the birthday section to look
DeleteThey don't want to point out that she'll be a teen mom.
DeleteIr you're going to make her sound older, you may as well say "Kendra turns 30 in 10 years."
DeleteShe is going to be a teen Mom. She IS a teenager.
DeleteLOL@10:34!!
DeleteTime 2:57PM
ReplyDeleteWho knows Kendra & Joe could name their son Joesph Duggar JR. Can't wait to see their new born son.
Due date doesn't mean baby will be there on Father's Day ❗️🙄
ReplyDeleteMy son was due father's day 2011 but he came 5 days past his due date, this little man may end up sharing my not so little man's birthday👏🏻🍼
ReplyDeleteI just notice the header wow very well done i like the new color and photos
ReplyDeleteListed here are just a few photograph present ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a family!
ReplyDeleteEllie and Lillie. I like the new header, espcially the color. I hope you keep it.
ReplyDeleteSo excited! Miss seeing Anna and the kiddos hope to see counting on include her.
ReplyDeleteI hope they're proud of who they sold their story to. That magazine is trashy. If you want to read the Duggar story, you first have to read past the juicy gossip about Trump's son's divorce.
ReplyDeleteIt’s very disconcerting. I’m certain JimBob and Michelle don’t allow this magazine in their home!
DeleteHow can they, in good conscience, take money from that magazine? I thought this family was all about standing firm in their faith and their principles. That should mean staying away from anything that goes against them. Every time they do something like this, I believe their sincerity a little less.
DeleteMaybe they have no idea what is in Us magazine. I certainly don’t. I have never picked one up and I intentionally don’t look at all of the magazines by the checkouts.
DeleteIt couldn't be possible for Jim Bob to allow his children to make a deal with a magazine, without everyone in the family knowing what's in that magazine. And once they're in it, I'd bet the magazine is in their houses, too.
Deletecan you pls give us an update on how Jinger is doing?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Joe & Kendra!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Only 12 more weeks left!! Congrats Joe ,and kendra !!💙💙
ReplyDeleteThat seemed to go by quick!
DeleteDoes anyone know how they grow their hair so long and healthy?
ReplyDeleteI think part of it is just genetics. My hair has grown longer, fuller, and altogether more healthy looking ever since I’ve started using natural shampoo.
DeleteThey're teenagers.
DeleteLove the new header! And in particular I love the (I think they're new?) pictures of Johanna, Jennifer, and Jordyn. Such lovely little ladies!
ReplyDeleteI like the new header too. I really like the background color. It's so pretty.
DeleteI like the header but it bothers me that Josh and Anna's kids aren't in a separate picture (that would also solve the problem of their names blending with M&JB and also if it wasn't too much trouble I would get a picture of Spurgeon and Henry instead of having their names opposite of their picture. It would also be nice if all the pictures were the same size. And of course same background would be really great. You've done an amazing job these are just my anonymous two cents. :)
DeleteThat's sweet!
ReplyDeleteNew header! Could you please make the pictures a little bigger, though? Josh and Anna's kids are so small that they might as well not be in the picture. Also some of the pictures that are darker are harder to see.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many members of the Duggar family now that it’s getting difficult to squeeze them all in! And the number is only going to increase in the next few years! The header idea worked well when there were few grandkids but I honestly don’t see how it’s going to be sustainable in the long term.
DeleteI'm fine not seeing much of that eldest son.
DeleteCan't wait to see their
ReplyDeletebaby boy. Also I love your new cover.....
Does anyone know hoe they grow there hair so long?
ReplyDeleteGenetics and they don't bleach or dye it would be my guess.
DeleteThey don't cut it.
DeleteThey don't cut it.
DeleteAnon @ 2:23 There are a few highlights going on with a couple of the young ladies so not sure your comment is that accurate lol! Also remember when the Duggar girls (and Michelle) used to perm the life out of their hair, that wasn't good for their hair or a good look! They do have beautiful hair, and Jingers is looking so much better since she stopped using the heated curlers so much, she really has become a beautiful and stylish young woman.
DeleteJoe and Kendra sold their baby's birth story to Us Weekly? OK. That's a gossip magazine but it's their choice.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's our choice not to respect their choice.
DeleteCongratulations on the new babies. I love watching the show.
ReplyDeletereally need to QUIT repeating every time 1 of them gets pregnant "wil have as many babiesGOD gives us /or it is up to GOD" we ARE ALL aware of that by NOW!
ReplyDeleteI doubt Jinger and Jeremy will have more than six, and I don’t even see them having that many.
DeleteAnon. 6:59- Maybe after they have half a dozen babies they won't repeat that again.Lol.. I believe Jessa wants eight and Ben wants seven babies. I believe that's what they wrote on their chalkboards...Jane
DeleteOh, they might if they thought they'd get attention and $$ for it.
DeleteI doubt Jinger and Jeremy have more than 4 kids. He comes from a normal sized family and doesn't seem into unbridled reproduction.
DeleteHey Jane that was the shoe size answer not the number of babies.
DeleteThe new header is great, and I love the colors used!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how they grow their hair so long and healthy?
ReplyDelete(1) Be young
Delete(2) Never cut your hair
(2) is easier to do than (1)
I know pregnancy helps for thicker hair and can grow pretty fast. I thought I saw a video on how the Duggar girls styled their hair to make it wavy (you could YouTube it).
Delete3) Prenatal vitamins.
DeleteThey'll be on those vitamins the rest of their lives.
DeleteI love that the joy had a baby and I can’t wait to see more of the duggars on tv. Also watch Gideon grow up and see Kendra and jinger have babies. I just live watching them and hope so many episodes come on and they never stop
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pretty new header. The green is quite pretty. It's just way too small. Those photos are going to get even smaller with two more grandchildren soon. Perhaps it can be enlarged?
ReplyDeleteI guess Lily and Ellie could make the header full page😁. Not sure how else it could be enlarged.

Wouldn't that be something if Kendra had the baby on Father's Day?
ReplyDeleteOur baby boy was born on Mother's Day. 😊
DeleteI really like Kendra and think she'll be a good mother. I'm hoping after the baby is older; she will do a blog. I like her spirit and style; her blog could be very uplifting!
