The Duggars Add Their First Grandchild

The "18 Kids and Counting" Duggars, who are expecting child 19 themselves, have announced the arrival of grandchild number one. The birth comes a slightly more than a year after eldest child Josh Duggar married his wife, Anna, on Sept. 26, 2008, at the Buford Grove Baptist Church in Hilliard, FL.

Here's a list of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 18 children, at least until now: Josh, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, and Jordyn-Grace. There is an obvious trend toward J-named Duggars there. Child number 19 is expected next spring.

Josh and Anna failed to continue the J-naming trend, however, as daughter Mackynzie Renee Duggar was born weighing an even 8 pounds. Thus continues America's largest superfamily, trying to use as many resources in one household as possible.

Mackynzie Renee's name comes from a combination of the name of one of Josh’s cousins and Anna’s middle name. It is unclear if the pair will give all of their children names beginning with “M.” It's also unclear if they will try to have more than 19 children themselves. Ironically, the couple wasn't even allowed to kiss until the wedding.

The Duggars are devout Christians. They are part of the QuiverFull movement, which states that couples should have as many children “as God gives them.” TLC plans a special on the new Duggar addition on Tuesday, Oct. 13th, called "First Duggar."

The Today Show says that the family will visit them on Monday, and they had a short story today with exclusive footage of Mackynzie Renee Duggar. You can watch it below.
