Journey to parenthood: 7 months to go!

The family is super excited about the news of a new grandbaby coming this July and all recorded some messages. Over the next few days, we will be sharing them.

Journey to parenthood: Grandbaby #8 introduction

Early this week, Derick and Jill announce that they are expecting baby #2 due in July 2017. The couple did not officially announce their due date as of yet but Jim Bob and Michelle asked how far along in the pregnancy and the couple said about three months pregnant.

They will be finding out the gender of the baby but we don't know if the couple will share it.

This baby will mark the second grandbaby to be born in the month of July!
