Josh and Anna's fourth child??!

When Marcus turned six months old, a lot of people have asked if Josh and Anna are expecting baby number 4. The answer was no on Derick and Jill's wedding day. So the current answer is that we don't know if she's pregnant or not. We will so find out.

If you have missed Derick and Jill's announcement!

Trivia returns?!

A lot of our reviews have been missing our trivia questions. I had to put trivia questions on hold for a little bit since I had to shipped my computer to get it back.



Trivia questions should return on September 4th!

Just four more days!

We only have four more days until the big return of 19 kids and counting. This season has a lot of things that are going on with the family.

Here are some of the big events
* Derick and Jill's wedding
* Check in with Josh and Anna
* Ben and Jessa's engagement

The first kiss jitters

Like her brother and sister who waited for their wedding date to have their first kiss, Jessa and Ben are waiting for their big day to have their first kiss.

In a recent interview to ABC News, Jessa revealed that "We're really looking forward to their first kiss.We're talking about it -- what if we miss or mess up? We're gonna have to plan this out or something!"

Jessa revealed her engagment to Ben early this month and will be the new season that starts next week.

"The guest list is pretty big, but not as big as my sisters" she said. "My list is a little smaller [than Jill's was], but then Ben’s guest list is bigger Derick's. It will be another Duggar-sized wedding!"

They are currently planning their color scheme and bridesmaid and groomsmen.

Ben and Jessa have decided to re-use Jill's decoration and flower girl dresses to save money.

"We’re gonna go really simple with a lot of our food and even flowers and that type of stuff. People spend so much on flowers, it’s outrageous!" Jessa said. "I'll go to the grocery and buy flowers! I don’t know how many flowers we'll have in nature if it's cold outside but I was like, 'How about we just go pick [some]?'"

"We want to have a nice wedding that everyone will enjoy but at the same time, we’d like to push our budget more toward our honeymoon because that’s our time together," added Ben, who said that TLC will also document some of their getaway. "That’s our first few weeks together."

Michelle Duggar on Her Daughters Leaving the Nest

Now that it’s actually happening, there are all of these wonderful mixed emotions. You get the joy of watching a loving relationship unfold. Jill and Derick, and Jessa and Ben, are becoming best friends and really getting to know each other in such a sweet way. When the right one comes along, it’s so exciting, shocking and surprising all at the same time!

Our entire lives, we’ve worked toward this, prayed about it, and encouraged our children to really just focus on becoming the person that God wants them to be. We’ve always urged our children to wait for the one that God has for them, and not to make compromises in their life in any way.

On the other side is the sadness that everything is changing at home. It’s good, not bad, yet change is sometimes hard. The other day the Seewald family was visiting, and Ben and Jessa were getting ready to leave with them. As Jessa and Ben were getting in the Seewald car my little Jordyn, who is five, realized what was happening and she just started to cry and cry. She was worried that Jessa was leaving for good. I had to comfort her and reassure her that Jessa wasn’t married yet, just going for a visit.

I took some time to talk with Jordyn and remind her that when Jessa and Ben get married, we get even more great adventures. Not only will Jessa get married, but we get Ben and the fun of spending time with them together. I reminded her that Josh and Anna got married, too, and how much she loves playing with Mackynzie, Michael and Marcus. We’ll be adding that much more love and that much more fun to our family.

Jim Bob is so excited, too, for Derick and Jill, and for Ben and Jessa. When he talks about the girls getting married, he gets a little teary-eyed; it’s a big deal for a dad to let go of his girls. He’s handing them over, but he’s handing them over to some really great guys.

Change can be difficult for all of us, but it is such a good reason to have change. It’s a joyful time.

What letter will Derick and Jill take?

Derick and Jill have been getting questions on rather not they will be taking a letter of the ABC. Her parents have the letter J and Josh and Anna have the letter "M". What are Derick and Jill going to do?

Jill revealed to ETonline that they are not planning to stay with the same letter for each of their kids. They are thinking about other traditions like naming their kids after their family. Jill revealed that she is not leaning towards a boy or girl, They will be happy with either gender.

Jill reveals that she is craving sour things that she has been eating a jar of jalapenos right after she found out that she was pregnant. She's been taking extra care of herself by eating every few hours and getting enough protein. She loves having Ice fudge bars which is a prefect thing for summer. She finally revealed her due date which is March 24th.

Jill is adjusting well to being married to her husband. The couple live about 30 minutes away from her family. They spend about once or twice a week. Jill revealed that she is still doing her training when she is outside of her morning sickness. Jill reveals that it going to be a great way to learn while she's pregnant.

With her sister's wedding just right around the corner, she is trying to help her sister the best way that she can. She was asked if she knew that which ones of her brothers and sisters would be the next ones to court and she said Jana and John David.
You can see Jill and Derick's road to marriage – and their massive wedding with almost 2,000 guests -- in the new season of 19 Kids and Counting, set to premiere Tuesday, September 2 at 9/8c on TLC.

Happy birthday Josiah!

Today the Duggar family is celebrating Josiah birthday. We are so excited for him

Ben Seewald moves into the Duggar guest house!

The Duggars have a new person living in their house well their guest house.

"He moved up here a few weeks ago," Jim Bob, 49, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It has been really good. He has been able to spend a lot more time with Jessa and our family. We have a guesthouse in front of our house, with a shower and everything, separate from the main house."

　

Ben even works for Jessa's father while he keeps doing his college classes


"I'm very excited that Ben is moving in today," Jessa says in the clip. "I think it will be awesome to get to spend more time with Ben and see him on a daily basis instead of once or twice a month."

"Ben was living four hours away in Hot Springs with his parents," Jim Bob says. "After Michelle and I were talking about it, we have so many projects to do that we need help for – everything from construction projects to keeping the grass mowed to putting roof on a building, paperwork and things like that – and we asked him if he would be interested in moving up here so that Jessa and his relationship could be really accelerated. He was all for it and his parents were happy about it."
Chaperones?

"They always have a chaperone," Jim Bob explains. "It has just worked out great. It is a little more labor intensive for Dad – we did set a curfew. By midnight, every night, we need to make sure everybody is back in their place. Jessa and Ben have set up their own courtship standards. They did not hold hands until they got engaged. After they got engaged, they started holding hands. Just like Jill and Derick, they will be saving their first kiss for their wedding day.

Love and affection

Derick and Jill also gave their feelings about Ben moving into the family home.

"You're human, and the physical side is there for a reason," Derick says in the clip. "Naturally, it is going to be difficult if you try to refrain from that."

"Any time you are in love and are together, you realize you want to show your love and affection," she says in the clip. "But when you have purposed to keep those protections in your life, you have to remember and have that accountability." Michelle told People. 

Ben and Derick's facial hair!

We have been getting a lot of comments about this topic and rather keep saying it. I am just going to put it in a new blog posting and on our facebook page. Ben and Derick make their own choices. If you don't like it then don't comment it!

Ben and Jessa's engagment journey

Ben had a lot of things planned for his big day with Jessa Duggar. He asked Jim Bob if he could married his daughter.

"A few days before, he had given me a rose and asked me out on a date for the next night," Jessa, 21, tells PEOPLE. "But that night we had gone out with his parents and my parents. It was a surprise because I didn't know his parents were in town. But that night he gave me a box."

Inside the box was an iPad with a video Ben, 19, had recorded, telling her, "This is the first clue to the rest of your life."

"I had done a few things to throw her off track," Seewald tells PEOPLE. "Jessa is really good at figuring things out and I wanted to surprise her."

Ben insited the help of John David to take Jessa and Jinger to Eureka Springs. Jessa went to the golf course, park, trolley ride, train ride, and ended in Thorncrown Chapel where Ben was waiting.

"I walked in and he was standing there at the front," Jessa says. "I could barely talk. I knew he was going to propose. I cried."

Now that Jessa and Ben are engaged, they are busy planning their wedding and it's going to easy since the family are using Jill's decorations. They are planning to use the saved money for their honeymoon.

Both sides of the family are celebrating the engagement

"Michael and I could not be more thrilled for Ben and Jessa," Seewald's mom, Guinn, tells PEOPLE. "Having similar goals and interests, they balance and complement one another beautifully. We praise God for the blessing of this relationship between Ben and Jessa."

"Ben asked me about asking Jessa to get engaged," Jim Bob tells PEOPLE. "We had already talked to Jessa about this and was 100 percent on board. I told him that Michelle and I were in agreement and supportive."

Did you know?

Jim Bob and Michelle had their first child in March and now Derick and Jill are having their first child in March too.
