‘Life is full of surprises and we’re glad it’s a sweet baby that surprises us this time!’ they said

The teens tied the knot at First Baptist Church in Siloam Springs, Arkansas in September of 2017 – and just 39 weeks later, Kendra gave birth to baby Garrett.
“This is definitely a honeymoon baby,” the fertile bride, then still a teenager, admitted on Counting On. “We did not expect this to happen soon, but it does happen sometimes.”
‘Who knows, maybe we’ll be able to fill the house with more kids,’ Joe added.

Growing up: Not long after, she announced that she was expecting baby number two
Girls girls girls! Addison Renee, her first daughter, was born November of last year
Ouch! Kendra’s work with Addison was also documented on Counting On
‘She made a quick arrival in the early hours of the morning and has already smothered our hearts,’ the couple said after Addison was born
Grandparents: Kendra’s parents, Christina and Paul, also have quite a few children. So far, they have eight, with the youngest born in November 2018, months after Kendra’s son was born
“Even though we come from large families, there is nothing like having your own children,” Kendra added in a family blog post.
Kendra’s parents, Christina and Paul, also have quite a few children. So far, they have eight, with the youngest born in November 2018 – months after Kendra’s son Garrett was born.
“None of my parents look old enough to be grandparents,” Kendra acknowledged. “I think a lot of people are probably shocked when they find out it’s their grandchildren and not their children.”
In April of 2019, she announced that she was already expecting her second child, which was born on November 2 of that year.
‘Addison Renee has made us a family of four and we are already so in love with her!’ they said in a joint statement at the time.
‘She made a quick arrival in the early hours of the morning and has already smothered our hearts,’ the couple said. ‘We know Garrett’s going to be a big big brother. Children are each a special gift from God and we are so happy that our newest blessing is here. ‘
Bumpin ’round: Joe’s younger sister Joy Anna Duggar is pregnant with her second
More babies: She and husband Austin Forsyth recently showered with a baby shower. Joy Anna is to be thanked every day
Pregos everywhere: Jinger Duggar, 26, is also expecting a baby, her second, with husband Jeremy Vuolo
Growing family: They are excited to give a little sister to their daughter Felicity, who turned 19 years old
Until now, Kendra has allowed both of her childcare to be fully documented by TLC cameras.
Unlike some of her sisters-in-law, Kendra has opted for hospital resources over household children each time – so it’s unclear if COVID-19 will keep cameras out of the February delivery room.
Several of her sisters-in-law are currently expecting as well.
Joy Anna, 22, now comes every day with her second child, a daughter, with husband Austin Forsyth. The couple already have a two-year-old son named Gideon, and last year Joy Anna suffered a tragic miscarriage at 20 weeks.
Jinger, 26, is also pregnant with her second, another little girl. She and her husband Jeremy Vuolo have a two-year-old daughter named Felicity. She also suffered a miscarriage between Felicity and her current pregnancy, which she discussed over the most recent episode of Counting On.
