When Anna and Josh Duggar started guessing the sex of their fourth child, expected to arrive in early July, they found a family divided.
"Josh thought it was a boy, I thought it was a girl," Anna, 26, tells PEOPLE. And the couple's kids Mackynzie, 5, Michael, 3, and Marcus, 1?
"Mackynzie wanted a girl, Michael wanted a boy," Anna says. Marcus remained mum.
But, after an ultrasound visit (where Josh and Anna turned their heads and the technician put the results in an envelope) and as the frosting on cupcakes supplied by TLC's DC Cupcakes, helped reveal – the Duggars will be welcoming a girl to their family this summer, evening the boy-girl ratio up in their family.
Josh, 26, is the oldest child born to Jim Bob, 49, and Michelle Duggar, 48 – and are stars of TLC's hit reality show 19 Kids & Counting, airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Josh and Anna moved from the family's location in Arkansas to Washington, D.C., where Josh works as the executive director of the nonprofit lobbying organization Family Research Council.
"It's different being away from our family than during our other pregnancies," Josh says. "We have to learn to be on our own up here, being so far away. We are close in our hearts and get to see our family often and we are glad about that."
Josh's sister Jessa, 22, and her husband, Ben Seewald, 19, shared their newlywed lives in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, talking about their relationship secrets and hosting a tour of their Springdale, Arkansas, home. Their cover story featured a picture with the headline "Sexiest Duggar Alive" referring to Jessa.
"I had an issue with that," Josh says with a laugh. "Everyone knows who holds the title of 'Sexiest Duggar Alive' and that's me."
Welcome to the Duggar family blog. Jim Bob and Michelle married in July 1984 and have twenty children. They have thirteen children-in-love. They have thirty-three grandchildren with three on the way due 2025.
