Duggar Family Expects 19th

17 and Counting--so long ago!

Another One's On the Way

It pretty much comes as no surprise that the Duggars, the Arkansas family of the show 18 Kids and Counting are expecting another kid in the spring of 2010. PEOPLE reminded us that oldest son Joshua and his wife Anna are also expecting a baby in the fall. Of course, this next baby is "fun," just like the last eighteen have been. . .

"We are so thrilled," Michelle, 42, said. "We just couldn't believe it is happening." Jim Bob, who is 44, agreed: "This never gets old. We are so grateful for each child. We are looking forward to our first grand baby and our 19th child."

Meanwhile Josh said that he and Anna are thrilled with the news, and are looking forward to celebrating with Josh's parents. "I think it is going to be awesome, it is going to be great," he told PEOPLE.

Would you expect anything less than positivity from the Duggars, though? When Jim Bob told the family the news, Michelle said, everyone started "screaming and yelling" in excitement. The pregnancy came as a surprise, and Michelle had been wondering why she was craving pickles and keeping some pesky pounds on. Quandary over!
