Josh and Anna give meaning of Baby #6's name
The day before Thanksgiving, Josh and Anna announced that baby girl Duggar was born and they named her Maryella Hope Duggar.
Many of their viewers wanted to know the meaning behind their daughter's name and here it is:
So many of you have asked...so here’s the story behind the name Maryella Hope! 👶🏻
Soon after we found out baby #6 was a girl we began name discussing name ideas and we thought we had it narrowed down. 📜
When Josh’s grandma passed away we considered the name Mary, but we were hesitant because Grandma (Mary Duggar) was such a special lady and we wanted our daughter’s name to be a reminder of how special Grandma was and carry on her legacy, but without feeling like we were trying to replace her. 👵🏼
Soon, our baby name list that we had narrowed down to 3 names had grown to a list of about dozen Mary-hyphenated names. As we continued chatting about names, Josh and I both fell in love with the name Maryella! ♥️
We chose Hope for her middle name because of the Hope we have because of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Jesus is the ultimate demonstration of love and hope. Jesus layed down His sinless life on the cross so we could be forgiven of our sins and one day live with Him in heaven forever when we die. We have Hope because of Christ! ✝️
During Maryella’s pregnancy there were so many unexpected joys, which included several more pregnancy announcements from family members! We also grieved alongside those we love the most, remembering life is fragile and sometimes very short. Even through the grief of the loss of loved ones we know that we have comfort, hope and strength as we look forward to one day being reunited in heaven with Jesus and our loved ones who are waiting for us there! 💕
Maryella Hope Duggar is such a blessing and we are so grateful for her!

Recap: Marriage Bootcamp
Five out of the eight married couples are embarking on a marriage
retreat at the lake house. The retreat is organized by Jim Bob and
Michelle. Lauren's father is leading it. Jim Bob feels that it's
important to have a strong marriage because it will make the family
stronger. Joy is hoping to learn a lot while Austin reveals that he
wants to get start actively investing into their marriage.
The first topic is communication. Jessa says that she needs to close her mouth so her husband can talk because she has learned that she tries to guess what her husband is saying. Kendra also talks more than her husband while Josiah admits that he talks more than Lauren. It's time for the challenge which involves walkie-talkies, blindfolds and boats. The Duggars love to make things competitive and Josiah wins it while Jessa admits that she struggle at giving direction. Austin ditches the paddles and uses his arms.
The second topic is compromise which Abbie grew up having structured while John did not. Kendra says that when you don't compromise, it will cause tension. The next challenge involves a nest building with marbles. Lauren says that she just lets her husband work through his own than nagging him. Lauren lays down on the couch due to a headache.
Joy says that Austin and her work together pretty good since they are always willing to listen to each other ideas. Ben and Jessa do their own thing which they do often in their lives.
On the last day of their retreat, Lauren is in bed since she is tired and nauseous. They have to write their wedding vows and stand up in front of everyone to say them again. Abbie admits that she was giddy and nervous the second time around. Joseph says that he was not as emotional as he was the first time. Josiah had filmed his to show Lauren later and kisses the phone screen.
John says that he is grateful of his parents because it was nice to come up there and have a retreat and reconnect.
Meanwhile, the Vuolos are preparing their moving sale. Jeremy says that he is looking forward to become minimalist because he is sentimental to his past. When the people start coming into the garage and he got caught up in it. Most of the shoppers don't speak English so they bring in a friend that can speak both.
The family says that Jim Bob is the best at negotiating. Jeremy admits that he is worst at it since he doesn't have the same skills. He lets paint cans go for 15 while Jinger says that they could go for double. The couple makes $379 for the sale.

Duggars respond to raid rumors
Yesterday the media announced that law enforcement had raided the Duggar family home however it's not true.
Jim Bob and Michelle posted on the Facebook page.
We were shocked to see a news report today state that our home was raided by federal law enforcement agencies. This is not true. To the best of our knowledge, it’s also not true that any member of our family is the target of any investigation of any kind. Living a life in the public’s eye has taught us that it is best not to reply to every rumor and piece of “fake news” that is circulated online. It would be a full-time job if we attempted to do so. However, because of tonight’s media coverage we thought it is important to address this rumor with you. Thank you for the love and support that we can always count on in you our fans and friends.

Recap: Baby Number Two...But Who?
Jeremy and Felicity are out on the porch so Jeremy can paint. He lets Felicity paint something for Jinger for her first Mother's Day. Felicity manages to paint all over herself along with her mouth.
Ben and Jessa are waiting for their friend to arrive to their house so she can check out Henry's speech. Jessa is worried that she did something wrong. Jim Bob adds that he is thanksful for the experts that help children thrive. Henry is only two and says a few words. Ben says that his son can't express what he wants and just ends up screaming in hopes that his parents will figure out what he wants. Their friend determines that Henry is in the sixth percentile for speech and she wants to wait about six weeks to see how many words Henry can pick up.
Before Jeremy and Jinger move to LA, Joseph and Kendra bring Garrett for a visit. The goal is to get the house ready to be put on the market. The guys work on small repairs while the girls organize and gather items to sell or donate.
The family is asked who are the packrats and which ones are able to let things go:
Michelle reveals that she likes to let things go while her husband admits that he likes to keep things.
Joseph reveals that he is not a hoarder but he likes to accumulating.
Josiah reveals that his wife like to minimalist while he likes to fill a space if it's empty
Kendra asked Jinger if the couple is planning to have another child. Jinger reveals that she gets that question alot. At the end of the visit, Jeremy and Jinger take the little Duggar family out for dinner at Border Foundry. Everyone is dressed up while Kendra worries that her son is going to disrupt the peace.
Neither families are experience at the restaurants. Jeremiah thought that fine dinning was going inside instead of driving thru.
The owner gets appetizers and everyone tries the fired frog legs. They also tried to eat grasshopper without knowing it. None of them are eager to eat it again.
While at the Duggar home, the younger kids are taking chores as the older ones at work. Johannah says that it's more busy but sometimes chaotic.
The Duggars have many animals such as cows, ducks, chickens, rabbits, cats and dogs. Sadly the mother cow passed away after the mom had a calf named paco. Michelle and Anna, recently announced her 6th pregnancy, show the kids how to take care of Paco.
It's time for another family night at the Duggar home and everyone sits down to paint. Austin and Joy are getting ready to share that they are also expecting their second child. The family takes a moment before figuring out that there is a special announcement on the screen and is so happy for the news.

Recap: The Great Duggar Campout
On Mondays, the Duggars gather to do family nights and everyone is invited to come to the house for dinner and activity. Jim Bob reveals that now that the family is getting bigger that is harder to get to get together on a regular basis so these family fun nights have been a blast.
During this week, the family is going camping thanks to Jana. They arrive and drop off the boys to for map challenge while the girls set up camp and make dinner. They have to give up the phones to Jana.
The boys are almost at the end of their hike and have to cross the river. They try to use boards and tree trunks but the river is going to fast. Jim Bob makes it a little completion with trying to cross first but ends up into the river. They make it across with being a bit wet to the campsite.
Michelle is thankful to having the get together and has not been a dull moment.
Before the dinner, they pray and after Josiah and Lauren are about to make their big announcement. Lauren says that they have been trying for a while since the miscarriage and she is nine weeks along. She is due a week and half after Kendra. She also reveals that she is nervous.
The second morning, Jana has some team building exercises and make a frame with ropes attach where each family member has to maneuver the frame without letting the middle person fall.
The second game is a ski challenge and four to five people will stand on wooden skies have to move together in unison.
Jeremy and Jinger are looking for a new home before moving to LA. Jeremy is attending the Master Seminary and meet up with Barbara and Peter to look at apartments. They look at two apartments. The second one is reminding Jinger that they live in Europe.
The next day, they head to a detached home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property is used by the church and the owners are willing to lease it to the couple for a few months.
The couple head to a coffee shop to make a choice, the ministry house will require them to move twice but it's large and beautiful for them to start and choose it.
